do you know if there is any leakage? (as in can people hear your music if your listing to them while on your head?)

I never noticed any leakage. With the noise damping on I never had to crank up the volume too loud.

Yes. It's not too bad to where it will bother those around you but at very high volumes 85-100% they'll be able to hear your music some.

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,

I found a video that might give people a sense of how much sound leaks out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uafYNCrPFrs

They are good for listing to outside, not that huge to be uncomfortable, and the isolation factor is good, but I will warn, that from my own experience, if you want to lisin to the music very good, you need to put the volume up (max) and that makes people around you hear what you are lisining. You dont need to put it the highest volume, but I just like to hear my music that way :)

I use it on a daily basis in my office. No one was ever bothered. I also tested it having others hear classical music with high volume and I couldn't notice any leaks. Hope it helps.

Yes, other people will be able to hear your music. These headphones sound like someone using earphones at 100% of volume even though the headphones are at a low volume level, so yes, people will notice the music in an average office setting.

yes , a lot. many of the better headphones leak noise its just a trade off. they have wonderful sound and clearity. the Bluetooth range is very far as well. I have a small head but they fit well but look enormous on me. I hope this helps. basically everything can be clearly heard by someone near by , you would be " that guy" on the plane , I would stick with some simple ear buds and use these earphones for personal use at home .

I noticed almost no sound leakage. I have had these and I like to listen relatively loud but I have never had anyone else comment that they can hear what I am listening to. Hope this helps!

Yes, At full volume people around you will definitely be able to hear if it is quiet. They are not as bad as other over ear headphones but being over ear they tend to start leaking audio at around ¾ full volume. Walking around outside it is usually fine even on full volume but if you are in a quiet room I wouldn't plan on putting them on full volume if you don't want other people to hear.

I don't believe so. No one around me has commented on hearing my tunes. I've had them since Christmas and I'm really enjoying them when I exercise. The fit is snug but not obstructive or distracting. Sound quality is pretty good for wireless.

Hi NzoMD. I'd rate the sound leak about equivalent to the noise-cancelling. Pretty darn good but not 100%. I tested it by playing music with my laptop volume on max then the headphone volume on max, and the results left, in my opinion, "quiet" sounds.

I use my earphones in my room in the monastery. I ask people who enter my room. Can they hear my music and they say they cannot, but I can hear them coming in. I love them.

Unless you are playing your music incredibly loud others in the room should not be able hear what you are listening to. My wife says she cannot hear anything I am listening to.

I am not sure what you are referring to. When the headphones are plugged into the jack on our receiver we can't hear the TV at all without the headphones on. Since my husband and I both wear a headphone we haven't noticed any leakages. If one of us removes his/her headset to talk the other hears what is said.

Well max volume on the iphone barely leaks. And more than 2feet away you cant hear it. The isolation imo is satisfactory, with nothing playing, you can still hear your environment, but it's still quite muffled. With sound on forget location awareness the music takes over :)

Yes, you can still hear music with no problems. Just make sure your case isn't too thick (at bottom/where it plugs in) because it will get in the way. Overall Great product!
