How much sound leakage do they have? I work on an open floor space so minimal leakage is ideal.

jdok89Just from the design and observance it looks like little to none would leak out. But I don't know, that's just my guess.

jdok89I own a Denon D2000 (very similar headphone also built by Fostex), and if you look closely there is a tiny seam (gap) between the wood cup and the metal part that holds the headphone.
That gap is actually bass vent so this is actually a semi-open headphone. So sound leakage do happen but not too bad. I use my at work and no one complained so far. If your office has ambient sound (people typing, AC sound... etc) then no one will notice.

jdok89Oh yes I guess I forgot to mention, D2000 had dampen material inside the cup, which also reduce the sound a little bit. I think E-MU Teak doesn't have any dampen material. So it might be slightly louder.
But for the most part semi-open headphones generally leak a bit but not too bad. For the record my office is also open space. And I tend to crank my music very loud too lol.
I guess you have to ask yourself how much office noise is there and how far are you sitting from the next person. :P
