I use closed all the time on a maximum, ear drilling volume - and my fellow train passengers don't really notice a thing. I've tested it on other people too, whilst sat next to them, to see if I can hear it leaking and it's very faint.

I suppose if it was really quiet you'd hear it, but otherwise I wouldn't worry, it doesn't leak much when closed.

Thanks that's what I wanted to hear, mine are on there way along with a balanced cable (that someone linked a few pages back from AliExpress) and a ES100

Did you have to alter the pins for fit into R1's cut away any plastic etc or did they just fit?

thank you

I hadn't to cut any plastic, they just fit perfect!

How they fit on my ear... I have to say... nothing of deep insertion just superficial insertion and spiral dots make it sounds "fetén" (expressive spanish word to say wonderful)

There was a post a little while back from a guy that was using his in bed at night, next to his spouse, and it wasn't a problem. You don't have to worry about people on a plane, train, or automobile being annoyed

What cable is this?

Just a note for anyone thinking of buying these - try the stock cable that comes with it before purchasing another cable.

I'm using the stock cable and it's excellent - chunky, yet light and flexible enough. It feels like a quality, durable thing. I use it for commuting on busy trains so I'm really fussy about the cable.

I can understand people wanting to customise their headphones (this is head-fi after all ) but please, give the stock cable a try first!

I am still using the stock 3.5mm cable. I only bought the 2.5mm aftermarket cable since the 2.5mm stock cable is defective.

The R1 is a very happy earphone. Its looks like a smily in your ears

I can 't believe no one in the reviews ever mentions that. They're all like "there's a rotating semi-circle on the outer shell to denote whether the port is open or closed" and I'm like, yeah, fyi there's a fricking robot smiley in your ears! It's the most striking thing about these iems at first sight and what first made me pay attention on M***drop. Perfect fit for industrial music.

 

[BigNewsII]

I had never seen it. Now I will never unsee the robot smiley face.
