... How much sound do these suckers leak??
I need a pair of phones for use at work, and while I thought the ety er6's would be idealm when I brought them in today I discovered they had two problems:
They isolate too much; I can't hear anything over the music, which makes it hard for my coworkers to get my attention. Secondly, they aren't comfortable. They need to go in and out prety frequently through out the day, and since I would feel stupid licking/rubbing saliva on them (I usually moisten them before insertion) my ears started to feel pretty raw by the end of the day.
I'm not really worried so much about isolation, as not disturbing the guy in the cubicle next to mine. For reference, I would consider the KSC-50 to be a bit too leaky...
