Yes sound leakage, they are the open style headphones not closed. No to noise cancelling.

Yes, this has a fair amount of sound leakage. It has a way better sound signature than the PXC450 but if you need noise-isolation/cancellation and no leakage, than you should absolutely go with he PXC.

Not quite sure if you realize what "open" means in headphone terminology but I can tell you this product isn't for you.

I'm using this in a office environment and mine seem to leak a large amount of sound in comparison to both a low end Jabra C820S and high end BOSE QuietComfort 15.I dont know if mine are leaking out more than whats normal, for a closed back design I cannot understand how on earth they released something like this without insulting it better, and they want to compete for space against BOSE?, give me a break....Just my 2 cents though, they do sound amazing and the noise cancellation works well.

Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good. Most constant background noise was filtered out (traffic noise, engine noise in aircraft etc.). I could still hear people speaking although at a lower volume. When friends tried them, they were all quite impressed by the noise cancelling.My second pair weren't as good as the first pair. That said, if you open the ear pieces (they are held together with small screws) you will see a small potentiometer (one in each ear piece) with an adjusting slot.I fiddled with this and noticed it increased/decreased the noise cancelling. If you turn it too far to increase noise cancelling, movement of the headphones causes a clicking sound. Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good.

There is "sound leakage". At the moment, I have them hooked up to my computer. No special amplification, just on-board Realtek. At 75-100% volume, I can slightly hear them over ambient noise (such as my heater, which is kind of loud) while standing about ten feet away. I don't know if everyone else that answered this question listens to their music at low volume, or if their headphones have some insulation that mine doesn't but in my experience, there is plenty of "sound leakage". Also, you could actually use these as speakers while you're not wearing them. They wouldn't be loud enough to entertain anyone, but you could still listen to something while they sit on your desk.

I was wondering about that too, but there isn't difference between two items. So that, I purchased 'with headphones' and I tested last weekend wedding, it works great! I satisfied a lot :)

Sorry I can;t really help you out there, I have never used the Beyerdynamic's DT-770. I would be interested in hearing your input on the H6. The ones I had really stunk. I'm beginning to wonder if they were defective, and they never tested them. Seems pretty lame for B&O; to not test them. I can't imagine anyone using them for anything beyond a door stop.

No sound leakage and excellent sound isolation.I bought these headphones only because I love to listen to some music, but don't want to disturb people around me. After two months of everyday usage so far I don't have any complains about sounds leakage and as I tested on other people it is not just politeness of people around me.The same is with sound isolation. When I am wear headphones I usually don't hear much of anything else. Perhaps in an industrial setting or children playground this wouldn't be true, but for the office or home environments these headphones isolate noises pretty well.

Hi Loyang! Without a doubt! The 3080 in a much smaller model - this 3908 is a serious competitor to the top name brand like the bose system it can fill an apartment with crisp high quality sound if your PC has a good sound card. I would hesitate one bit to spend the extra $28 or $30 to get the 3908 instead of the 3080. Now if you have small cubical or office at work and we need some good quality sound you can settle with the 3080 the 3908 would be an overkill in that case. If you blast the 3908 in the office HR will come and get you - trow you through the window with your sound system. lol. Enjoy! Hi Loyang! Without a doubt!

Hey. I have never owned the HD 650 but I can tell you that they are very commonly used in the studio and therefore have very flat sound. That's why you get that veil in the vocals (especially female vocals). The HD598 was made with audiophiles in mind but they are very enjoyable to listen to. The vocal and acoustic part of the midrange is the best I've heard in that price range. It's clear, spacious, and full without being heavy. I personally use my Hd598s to edit female vocals and piano and I am very happy with them. Many audiophiles say that the 598s are more enjoyable to listen to than the 650s or 600 despite the cheaper price.

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

This sound card will not optimize your on board sound. It will take over as your new sound output device. I like my Xonar Essence STX's sound output better than my on-board sound. A lot of reviewers will say that today's existing HD on-board sound is so good that you wouldn't notice the difference. I promise you, you will. This card has a built-in headphone amp. With this you use the higher end headphones that require more power than a motherboard headphone jack. I do not regret purchasing mine. I bought it right here on Amazon. I also bought my pc speakers (Klipsh ProMedia 2.1) and headphone (Audio-Technica ATH M50) here on Amazon also. I couldn't be happier. This sound card will not optimize your on board sound.

Hi there! I'm not a tech expert, but I don't think there's a difference. I re-listed it under the same listing that it was purchased for me. It was purchased for me as a gift, and I already had headphones. Sorry I can't help more

I am very happy with my 6004 model. It is a great value. A store could maybe play both units side by side of sound reproduction. Checking features out would show you other differences that might not be associated with music quality.

I looked this up for you and couldn't find many comparisons. I just found this guy's youtube video on headfi. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629433/new-sony-extra-bass-mdr-xb600-mdr-xb800-unboxing-videosEven so, you should try seeing if you can find more comparisons or wait until more come out to have more opinions as the guy in the video may not be 100% reliable (also, they guy said that he didn't burn them in yet). Unfortunately that my take some time.

You would really have to have your tunes cranked up big time to get leakage. I think the HD 239 headphones sound better and are more confortable. I use them at work because they cause zero ear fatigue (however, they do not fold like the PX100 headphones).

I too am interested in this. The Ath-anc7 has 1,000+ rave reviews - I believe the product is at 4.5-5 stars. But the anc7b, which I would think would be a lot better, has some questionable reviews, and some serious complaints about sound leakage. Can anyone help me and Juan out?

HI K.P. - I've have Sonys too and they do break, I also don't like their sound - I flat don't like Sony products. Poor sound from most musical items.These Sennheiser HD 202 II are tough with a basic simple design. They are built with the idea of a ball and socket in stepped adjustments. Seems strong to me. And the sound is very good compared to Sony. Hope this helps.
