Do these leak sound really badly?

No. I usually sit next to my wife while listening to an audio book, but she doesn't hear a thing.

At least for me, they fit very, very tight. I don't believe leakage should be a problem with these.

First, no - that's not normal. I'm not sure how large the thing is you hear moving around but it may be insulation, a speaker wire or a lose cross over. Either way I would suggest you take advantage of Amazon's generous return policy and either return then for a refund or replacement pair. That rattle will show up while playing music especially at higher volumes.

They get pretty noisy at anything above 55 mph. Only recommendation would to not overfill them. They were tolerable up until I had them rotated and the shop overfilled them past the max psi.

These seal very well, I personally haven't been able to test leakage, but based on the feel of the cups I would guess very little sound leaks.

No these are an open cup design that leaks sound out. You want a closed cup design instead for more sound isolation.

That is not normal. My aluminum is uniform and clean. You won't regret the sound on these, so if you can get them to replace, I'd stick with them.

Yes they leak sound, but if you listen at work appropriate levels say 20% on iPhone, should be no problem unless you share a cube. They sound great.

Yes! They leak lots of sound. They're also on the heavy side and harder to drive than most. Very spacious and deep sound.

No, they don't leak sound. I can sit right next to my son when he has the headphones on and I don't hear a thing. He is very happy with them.

No, sounds like something isn't in tight. I've never had a problem with any of mine leaking. Give the company a call

They do leak. I hate them so much because of that the other end of the earbuds have a little speaker which allows others to hear what you're listening to quite easily. I'm going to return them because the wood could break with ease.

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 blast my music too and these definitely dont leak any sound. I was really impressed with that.

There's some sound leak but it all depends how loud you listen to the music. Hope this helps

I wanted to get these to watch lectures for school (sometimes in the library). Will others hate me for leaking sound with these?

depending on exactly how loud they'll probably leak a bit. I work in a cube as well and i usually just get somebody to give me a nice reference part on how loud i can get before they leak. I went well past my comfortably listening level before they started to leak out. Hope that helps.
