@newtophones07 familiar with https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/isolation/sound-leakage ?

Awesome link. Bit disheartening to see closed back on-ears start at a 8.5 score, though. Well, at least now I see why my brother's hd598cs (6.5 score) got complaints at his library, lol.

Wait, an AFC is considered too leaky? What are you looking for, a headphone with a silicone gasket? At my office my coworker used to listen to Grados in an open floor plan... lol

Wish I worked in that office lol.

But yes the AFCs do leak sound, albeit awesomely. But in an office that is super quiet, it is bothersome to some office mates

How about you try to listen to your music on a lower level?
Than I am sure your office mates will not be bothered when using the AFC.

be patient my friend, wait for some impressions

My office has 2 other people in it, and none of them care if I bring in my Elear to listen to. As great as that is, could do with blocking out their chat

Right, first reports state that isolation is pretty good, so definitely an option for the TO.

How about used Ether C Flows (with original pads) ?

 

[newtophones07]

I may way for a review of the Elegia, I appreciate all the recommendations and help

 

[skootb]

I'll take any recommendations for a higher price range. tried the Ether C Flow last year and coworker next to me could still hear what I was listening to, even at low volumes.

I have noble katana IEMs at the moment but may want to move up to something non-iem for the office. I have people 4 feet to my left and right at work and don't want them to hear anything
