Do these leak sound very much? I want them for work and sit in close proximity of others.

They are closed headphones and don't leak at all. Just asked the person sitting next to me (4 feet away): she doesn't hear anything!

They don't leak sound very much in my opinion, not unless you have them turned up past 70%. Though at that point it's quite loud.
1588567
Not very much. But it depends on what kind of music you listen to and how loud you are listening to it. If you keep your volume at a reasonable range it seals pretty well. I haven't had any complains from my peers yet.

I've asked a couple of people at work and they report the sound leakage is minimum at higher volume. We have separate cubes at my workplace and I've gotten no complaints. I've also had someone else wear them to hear it for myself and it's very quiet.

Not much at all. I'm sure you'll be pleased with them. And....they sound VERY good! Cheers! ....and good listening! John

1. I own a pair. They are closed back and will have to be realllly loud for sound to be heard by others. Sounds leak is not an issue with this one bit. 2. They are ranked 2nd on a list of top 5 headphones under $200 - http://boldlist.net/top-5-headphones-under-200.php3. They also hold up really well and don't show much wear and tear. Highly recommend.

I think they would do fine. I use them for loud meetings, but I can still hear the person next to me. Hope this helps.

While they are not 100% leak proof. I would say they block roughly 90% of the sound to the people around you.

Yes they do leak, these are opened aired headphones so yes anyone can hear, made for the home, u do need a headphone amp

The noise leak on these headphones is fairly average, however if it's not pounding away at max volume you probably won't disturb people. The seal when wearing them is pretty decent.

No, sound don't leak on normal volume, only bit sound leaks if the volume is higher. They are extremely comfortable headphones

It depends on the volume of your workplace but these headphones do bleed more than traditional closed back designs. If you have sensitive co workers I would consider another design.

They are not noise isolating; you will still hear some outside noise. And yes, there is some sound leak, but of course how much depends on how loudly you listen to them.

I don't hear any sound leaking when my wife uses them around the house, but I don't think she turns up the volume much either.

Nope, there aren't any holes for sound to leak. My Brother'd have them up all the way, couldn't hear a thing.

I asked my cubicle neighbor if he could hear any sound leak from my headphones when I had them around 50% (less than 4 feet away, but through a foam wall) and he said "Not at all." I also find the sound quality to be high enough that I rarely have music turned up that loud. The thing I like best about these headphones is their ability to block out the office chatter. People have to tap on my desk to get my attention. Awesome!

At moderate to low volume there is no appreciable leakage. They actually won't get quite as loud as I would like ... no ear bleeding head banging, yes I would do that at my office. Over all these are a good quality headphone, they really shine as hands free headsets for phone work.

yes, they leak sound but it depends on1) how loud you like somethign when noise cancelling is on2) how loud you can turn it up with surrouinding ambient noiseThey defintely leak sound though

There might be some leakage. I know that other people say they can hear my music when I have the volume high. But not too bad though. These are pretty nice for the price, though. I'd buy them again for this price.

They leak some due to the open ports and the movable outer shell (the large diaphragm around drivers) to fit different heads. If you look at the headphones each of the peace signs is a port but no more than others. If you are looking to be able to listen and no one else hear what you are listening to, say in an office setting, the volume would have to be lower. These are big 50mm drivers so I like them a lot. But, quiet would have to be earplugs not headphones. Other headphones that sit on the ear would still have the same problem but not as much. Fantastic for the price, I believe. Hope that helps.

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