How is the sound leakage of these? At what volume percentage can people hear your music?

That's exactly what I use them for. At reasonable audio levels, nobody around you can hear your music..

Do not play your music too loud. People will hear you. I have used them in my classes on mid-low volume and nobody ever confronts me about them.

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.

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.

There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports. In an office/cubicle environment I would think they would work out well, especially if you dont blast your music trying to blow out your own ears. From checking them out earlier (admittedly putting them over a rolled up blanket with volume set at about 65%) I could barely hear any leakage from more than a couple feet away.If you do end up getting these and using them at work I would suggest you get a cable extension (at least a couple feet) so you would have more freedom to move about in your workspace There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports.

As with any headphones, if they're at ear-bleeding volume people around you will hear at least something. At normal listening levels, there's a very quiet high-mid frequency leakage right next to them, but nothing noticeable from a couple feet away. I actually recommended them to a friend for use at work.

Leak, as in someone around you can hear? No the closed set does not leak sound. I think Aaron Burleys review in the review section sums it up. You can read more there. Concerning music he said, "Now, onto the good! Other than the lack of bass, these things sound absolutely amazing. I've never been a fan of close backed headphones, but these opened my mind. I heard things in music that I never knew existed. Things like extra background voices in the chorus of a song, reverb where I didn't know it was present" However if you want a headphone set strictly for music your probably better of looking at something different.

Only if you max the volume will people around you hear. They keep sound in very well.

In my opinion the leakage will not be to loud.Having said that there is some leakage so if you want it to be silent these headphones are not the right choice.Edit...In regards to the DJ8 headphones, sorry but I have never heard them.

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.

Leaking is not an issue for me with these cans... 99% of the people around me are not bothered by any sound leakage.

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

They are open-air headphones and do leak sound, it does help improve the quality though. But if you're looking for non-leakage, I'd go with the Monoprice IEM, They are super cheap and sound fantastic with minimal leakage.

I asked the people around me if they could here my music while the headphones were on my ears, and they said yes. I also heard major sound leakage when other people were wearing the headphones.

They have good quality for not being on max volume, and they wont fall off that easy, but if you put the max volume (and you migth need to if you wanna lisin to all the detals, at least in my own expirience) it will leak out a little. If you got a good mic, it should not pick background noise. (if you are worried that the sound from your headphones migth catch up, you should get a shure mic instead of the headphones :p )

I would say that there is a considerable sound leakage as these are "on the ear" headphones. If you are worried about sound leakage you should consider "over the ear" headphones preferably with noise cancellation features.
