RyanHHi Ryan, these noise should be attenuated by a margin but not completely blocked. AAW CIEMs have one of the best attenuation among hybrids, but still, these are vented designs. I hope this helps:)

RyanHFellow NYC subway rider & A3H owner here. My right side earbud is currently with AAW for a reshell, but I can say I had the same experience as you. With no music playing I could still here the subway announcements, but at a much lower volume, which is as expected. Even custom molded earplugs don't block out all sound.

rantngGreat! how do you know if it needs reshell? I guess I am too late for reshell. When it is playing and i turn volume to 85% on my nexus 5 i can barely hear any noise.

RyanHI wasn't getting a good seal on my right earphone. I could hear more outside noise on that side & there was actually a bit of space between the inside of my ear and the shell.
