Any updates on sound leakage?

The sound leakage is there, but not at an extreme level, unless he plays really loud. But, considering the isolation performance of those, I doubt he will need to play it real loud. And, even then, it shouldn't create a disturbance that is considerably higher than what you would create by using an ordinary earbud. In any case, this is not an open-back headphone, so there won't be a lot of leakage.

We had the same issue and it went away after 2 days. We actually ordered a replacement because we thought there was something wrong with it, but ended up returning the replacement because the sound went away fairly quickly. I contacted the company and they do have a 90 day warranty if it continues or it can be swapped out through Amazon.

I've had no issues with audio crackles on x1, I texted my buddy as well and he reports no issues either, with both comfort and audio. If you got other questions go ahead and ill pop back and do my best in detail :)

No there is not any, although I have noticed lately that the headphones slip slightly out of my ear causing music to sound distant. I might try a different ear piece just to make sure.

I get some sound drops. Have not figured out why this is but it occurs too frequently for my liking. Any drops at all is too frequent I suppose.

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.

No, played at reasonable sound, but if exceeded " loud" sound play, leakage will occur.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.

I notice minimal leakage even at loud volumes. If there is any amount of ambient noise in your quiet environment you should be just fine.

No I haven't had any issues with either of mine. Do you have the audio enabled?

All sound issues I was having with this laptop were fixed when I installed the latest windows sound drivers. I got them directly from microsofta website. After that I had no issues at all.

I'm using this in a office environment and mine seem to leak a large amount of sound in comparison to both a low end Jabra C820S and high end BOSE QuietComfort 15.I dont know if mine are leaking out more than whats normal, for a closed back design I cannot understand how on earth they released something like this without insulting it better, and they want to compete for space against BOSE?, give me a break....Just my 2 cents though, they do sound amazing and the noise cancellation works well.

Buy a Skeleton case it will have all the connection openings cut out already and will improve audio. But won't be water prof or dust prof

There isn't that much of a leak because the headphones do almost a perfect job at doing this. People will hear what you're listening if you have it have it full blast though.
