Scoping out my next pair and these look so flippin cool. They seem to be well liked. I just want to know if they leak sound and if i can get a different pair of cans that don't leak and sound better for rock and metal at this price. Thanks for the help.

I did a review on these a while ago - morale of the story: they are not good for rock / metal, the bass is nowhere near sufficient, and they do leak.

Take a look at ES7 instead.

They look much better than the pictures. But there are the issues Malos cited, and fit can be a problem.
