How good is Ultra 750s isolation?

[blessingx]

How good is the 750s isolation? I'm more interested in leakage out than in. Want to use it in an office. HeadRoom doesn't seem impressed. Curious what others think. How do they compared to the A900, Beyer 250/80, V6, 280 Pro, etc.?

In terms of sound leakage out, they are pretty good. I have mine burning in at present, and at slightly lower than normal volume, with the cups together, I can sleep quite happily with the miniscule ammount of noise that comes out. They are sitting on my desk 2m away from my bed.

I think their isolation is just fine.
My wife nicked mine and wears them when behind her PC. I sit right next to her and never notice when she is playing music.
No, not even when I am NOT wearing my Darths...

I think they isolated quite nicely. Almost as good as a DT770 Pro.
Better than a A900LTD.
Definitely not as good as a HD280 Pro.

I didn't test leakage, though.

they are pretty good, the DJ series and HFI series (at least the ones with the pleather pads) isolate very well, but then they lack in tonal streangth and sound empty. with my 750's on and music playing at normal volume, i really cant hear much unless someone REALLY tried hard to get my attention.

my sisters complain about the sound on the outside, at times when im really into the music

I think the leakage is quite minimal. My bf hardly notices any noise when I am listening. Or you have to crack the volume up really bigtime.
And for "the rest" they are just great!!!!

No problems with leakage but I don't think isolation is great. I don't have comparable closed headphones for a better comparison at the moment, but for tram or subway usage, it's wasn't enough for me, which is also one of the reasons I'm selling mine. I also remember listening to music through the 750s sitting on a bench at the bus stop on a busy street, and the isolation wasn't goos enough here either. Really had to turn up the volume.
