I was in my school library using my S2 on medium volumes. There was a class of folks sitting around me and no one mentioned I was bugging anyone. I would imagine if I was blasting my earphones I am sure there would be sound leakage but it is definitely usable out and about. I would imagine the MA750 having the better isolation..

Interest went up on the MA750s from initial impressions. it's going down now upon increase in bass. :frowning2:
The M200s lasted 2 days. First day I had issues with fit. Once I got that settled, I got issues with sound sig. Namely too much bass. Traded for a pair of S2s.

  I don't think its near the level of the M200's but I'll have to compare them both.  
 
On another note, the Brainwavz Delta's and R3 are no joke.  

 
You got you R3 too? Now I'm getting pissed with mp4nation and RHA. Come on! Send me my stuff! Geez!!

Found an OEM while searching for good chinese headphones called Rambotech. These seem to be one of the first few good apt-x bluetooth 4.0 (usb rechargeable) earphones with in-line controls and actual bass. They also seem to be very similar to the $150 Jaybird Bluebird X.
 
Rambotech version $80:

Jaycar version $47+shipping

My Anker version is on the way. Could be a nice find.

In my case the S1 and R3 but I agree no joke. My SA7 aren't losing any sleep but the R3 is a good little phone. Okay, not little but good.

I think I was after you as only after my S1 review was I contacted to be sent an R3 and I've gotten two of them already :) Maybe my replacement pair was Eric's, lol.

I, like Mackem, am trying to see if there is something better than Basso and Tenore for around $100.  I thought RE400 would be it.  I'll burn in and give it another listen.
 
I may have to increase my budget, as nothing in my sig has beaten them yet.

 
I'm still searching for an upgrade to my Basso. So many new IEMs coming out these days I can never keep up. I'm willing to go up to about $200/£125. I think the S2 and MA750's are out of the equation due to the lack of bass (compared to Basso) and the M200s are out because of fit.

Speaking of CKS1000. Cheapest I have ever seen it on Amazon. Good time to snap one up for US buyers. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-CKS1000-Solid-Bass-Headphones/dp/B009FRPN4W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1380234711&sr=1-1&keywords=cks1000

That is a good price for the AT 1k.
I mentioned this before, (gave SF something to post about)...I like to fall asleep listening to music/iem. When I did with the S2, my wife asked me to turn the music down. Granted, that is close quarters,but the isolation on them is really poor IMO (being open, wouldn't expect great isolation)
