When used with headphones........is this really silent ?(nobody but you can hear it)

That is correct. No one else can hear. Without headphones everyone can hear.

Yes, it is really silent. I use it in an apartment building and my neighbors don't complain!

On airplanes I have found that I need to remove the volume limiter. It is a deeper are piece that the headphones plug into before plugging it into the device you are using. I hope that 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.

That sound is the active noise canceling. All active noise canceling headphones have that sound. You probably won't hear it when you are playing music. If you still do and that is bothering you, you can use it with the noise canceling turned off.

Check your sound options...there is no reason "just the headphones" would do this

I'm not sure that you can. I always power it up before I put my headphones on so I don't have to hear it. Try turning the volume all the way down and see if that helps.

Probably depends on how loud you turn up your volume. Headphones don't really eliminate sound very well, but they can cover it up. Unless you buy some really expensive active sound canceling headphones. At my gym, I keep my volume relatively low and can only occasionally make out the piped-in music.

Yes the sound is very low. It may be defective as another respondant writes. I only use it with earphones so the low volume is not a problem. But there are enough design problems not to reccomend it

It is noise cancelling, to a degree, I can still hear some noise, albeit muffled. To be fair, please know that I am really sensitive to noise, I hear sounds others do not - people are sometimes amazed at what I able to hear. I would test them out as I think it varies by individual.

It mutes when there is no pressure on the headband. I have had the headphones for a few months and never had a problem with the feature. I find it very useful especially in a live or studio environment.

No. I have been using the headphones for a few months now. Still no such sound.

This unit is fairly quiet. If you are doing audio editing without headphones then I think you might have an issue but otherwise I haven't noticed its volume while I am working.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

No. The headphones makes no noise. I use them mainly at work. For concentrating on challenging texts and writing tasks

If what you are asking is how much sound others can hear coming from the headphones, very little.

No headphones truly cancel out people talking, if you have a good sense of hearing. But, when I have my mp3 player going, I can't hear what my wife is trying to say to me - at all!

Volume is independent but when you turn down the volume of the headphones all the way , they are silent.
