Is there any thing you can do besides turning the volume down to reduce sound leakage.


Answer
No, not really. You probably don't want to hear it, but the only thing you can do is buy better headphones.

What are the best Sennheiser headphones for playing music quality in a price range between $0 - $150?

I'm going on a trip around Australia with family and the majority of use will be listening to music, however i probably will watch the odd movie. They need to be headphones and noise reduction is not necessarily an issue, it's really just quality and a bit of durability i'm after ( quality more so ) Thanx.


Answer
I like Sennheisers HD 555/595 headphones. Neither are noise reduction. I prefer open ear headphones vs closed ear. I think they deliver better sound quality. Closed ear headphones reflect the sound back into your ear which can distort the sound quality.

Open ear headphones leak sound, their designed that way to create a better sound stage. Because of the sound leakage people around are able to hear what your listening to, I wouldn't recommend using these headsets while traveling by plane,bus or train. People around you may not share the same level of enthusiasm you do with your audio choices. :)

The HD 555/595's are very comfortable headsets. You can use them with portable devices, however they are a bit bulky. Might want to take a look at Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds.

Hope this helps!

Enjoy your trip to Australia :)
