    Question about open ear headphones, how bad is sound leakage? I wouldn’t blast music with headphones on in the office but is even moderate listening volumes pretty noticeable?

      At a comfortable listening volume, in a pretty quiet place (like a library) they could tell you’re playing something, but that’s about it. If a fan or ac is running, or a person is peaking then it’s unnoticeable.

      If you’re playing music at louder volumes they could probably tell what you’re listening to.

      It really depends on the headphones, my sundaras sound like I’m wearing miniature speakers on my head. I let my friend try them out and he had them turned up really loud, I could hear his music through the door and down the hallway lol.
