I've recently acquired these headphones myself, and I have tried using them with a Sansa Clip+ and my computer's onboard sound. I have the ath-a700's to use at home, and I've gotten used to their sound signature. When I plugged the Sennheiser ie6's into my onboard sound, I really wasn't too impressed, although I really couldn't complain for paying $60 shipped from Amazon. Using it on the go with my Sansa Clip+ however, and I was beyond pleased. Music from the clip sounds amazing; I found myself immersed in my music in the subway, and it was a type of immersion that I couldn't get at home with my ATH-A700s. (Same songs and bit rate) All in all, I'm amazed, both in sound quality and bang for the buck.

Thanks for posting your impressions. How would you rate the isolaton and leakage on these? Were they okay on the subway? Do you think others could hear your music? Could you hear train noise?
post #18 of 1910/16/10 at 5:23amThe isolation isn't exactly the greatest. When I plugged them in, I was able to block out the voices of people talking and I'm 100% sure people couldn't hear my music. (I took them out of my ears a few times to see if I could hear any leakage, and I couldn't hear anything) However, I was able to hear train noise, which is pretty much the only problem I have with these headphones.
