#2

Sound leakage is addressed positively in one review, where nearby listeners barely heard loud gameplay in a quiet room.

#4

Sound leakage is better controlled than expected for open-ear earbuds, but it remains audible at higher volumes or in very quiet spaces.

#5

Sound leakage evidence is limited but favorable in one review, which says the snug fit avoids large gaps where sound can escape.

#6

Sound leakage is improved and often limited, but reviewers still warn that nearby people may hear audio at higher volumes.

#7

Sound leakage evidence is limited and mixed, from low leakage helping immersion to some audible leakage outside the cups.

#8

Leakage is lower than many open-ear rivals but still audible to nearby people once volume rises, especially above roughly 60 to 70 percent or in quiet rooms.

#9

Sound leakage was mixed: some padding reduced leakage, but another review said sound still bleeds through with a seal.

#11

Sound leakage was mixed, with some reviewers hearing little bleed and others warning of more leakage at higher volumes.
