Is there any sound leakage to the outside world?

Yes they are open, so especially at high volume these is a certain sound leakage

Sorry I don't know. I purchased for resale and the customer has not mentioned any excessive noise

The leak isn't bad at all. Unless he's going to be listening to them at full volume (which he shouldn't) and while doing something everyone needs to be quiet, there should be no problem with the sound leak. Just wanted to tell you that.

I haven't tried it outside. The sound is loud enough to hear a couple of rooms away inside the house.

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.

Since my husband is the person who uses the headphones and I am in the same room with him, I can answer that question. There is NO sound leakage that I hear, and I believe that you could feel safe using them anywhere you want, and know that the sound is not being heard by others.

I didn't notice much leakage of sound. I tried the various ear plug sizes that come with the Brainwavz until I found the one that fitted most comfortably and blocked outside noise the best. Put it this way, if I am listening with the earphones and my wife call me I can't hear her! (She has to visually signal me) Hope this helps.

NO! They cut down on ambient noise but a loud item such as a chain saw or lawn mower is out of the question! If I pay attention I can hear what my wife is trying to tell me, while I have them on

Yes, they are open air design, so everyone will probably hear what you're hearing if they're in the same room. Because of this, I have not taken mine to work. If you listen quietly you can't hear the sound leaking, but at the level I like to listen (mildly loud) people can easily tell what you're listening to.

I am not sure what you are referring to. When the headphones are plugged into the jack on our receiver we can't hear the TV at all without the headphones on. Since my husband and I both wear a headphone we haven't noticed any leakages. If one of us removes his/her headset to talk the other hears what is said.

No. You will definitely hear the outside sound but it might not be as loud. However if you are running with them you will hear more noise from cable movement. I usually walk to work with these and I hear internal noise all the time when the cable moves.

Yes, they will leak noise. These are semi-open headphones so isolation is not going to be very good

My installation is on an outside wall under a covered porch. There is plenty of volume. I get quite a bit of wind noise but have never tested the audio quality.

When the volume is up quite high, very minor leaking, but this was in a quiet house. Nothing that would likely be noticed in a public area.

There is a certain amount of leakage, but I don't think there is enough to disturb your wife, unless you like listening at full volume that is!

In general, no - assuming the volume is mid way. If volume is on high then there will be leakage.

Not that I know of. It was loud enough for me to hear over the monitor with no problem.
