Sony MDR-1000x sound leak

[dharmesh.nadhe]

Hello, I bought new Sony MDR 1000x headsets but i noticed that even at intermediate volume level, there is sound leak and others can hear my music. Is it normal behaviour? How to avoid it?

Hi,

That's a normal behaviour and you can't avoid it. I own the same headphones and confirm this behaviour.

It's related to the construction of those headphones to ensure a perfect sound reproduction at your ears.

By the way, there's also an English speaking community: https://community.sony.co.uk

Cheers
