Is the sound isolation same with earbuds and in-ears?

Some earbuds don't fit in my ears.

>>16982159
So?

>>16982153
From my experience, yeah, people can hear what you're listening to with earbuds. Since there's no seal between your ear canal and the speaker, the sound just leaks out, but since the in ears form a batter seal, less sound escapes.

This. Get the in-ears, especially if you make use of pub transport. The world will thank you for it.

>>16982153
Hell no, IEMs have way better isolation, because they seal your ear canal from the outside. This also makes them more dangerous, if you're out in the streets with them in. You'll also have to clean the tips regularly.

>>16982372
Negative anon, get ones with silicone tips, so you can wash and reuse them. Foam will also cut out the high frequencies.

If people can hear what you're listening to, your volume is way too high and are causing hearing damage. No one should be able to hear what comes out of them.

I was talkin about someone sittin in the library and they usin earbuds, I can hear what they're listenin to, but if they use in-ears, I can't hear it.

earbuds are way more comfy imo

This. I don't like in-ears either. They put uncomfortable pressure inside the ears.

Earbuds are always the first to be sold out at my local store. There are always in-ears available.

Yeah there's a difference. There's an easy and very obvious test, just hold them in front of your with music playing and see if you can hear anything, you should here a very quiet whistle or nothing at all.

I think earbuds are more comfortable when they have some solid support on the wire, it helps them stay in place.

They are cheap online, a reputable £2 pair breaks just as much as a £30 pair from the highstreet.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for around-ears with solid sound isolation? I vastly prefer the comfort and quality of around-ear headphones, but I'm fairly sure people nearby are subjected to whatever shit I'm listening to as well, most of the time, which makes me a little hesitant to take them with me.

Even with earbuds, that's too fucking loud. They'll damage their hearing. If it's you, then it's your hearing at risk.

there can be some sound bleed on in-ear headphones, even more on buds. mind you, your in-ear pairs won't bleed until you push the volume, but you would be approaching hearing damage before you start bleeding to the point where someone across a table could hear you.

if you're seeking total isolation, but closed back headphones

Get headphones that include hearing protection for noisy environments. If they block sound from coming in, they'll also block sound from going out.

Op here. The thing is, when I turn it to highest volume and hold the headphones thight in my fist, both of them is the same in the silent of my home.

I have the opposite, in-ears are comfy to me but earbuds are too hard and the wrong shape for my ear canal.
