The latest digital, think they're still siemens.

Haven't used in the ear noise cancelling ones, but have got over the head 
cancelling cans, and they leek lots -

  What aids do you have? Have you also considered in the ear headphones with 
noise cancellation?

      Well if you have a hearing loss (like I do too) you are going to get some 
leakage when you crank it up.  I use the Sennheiser HD228-2 and they clamp your 
head nice and tight making the sound a bit louder.  A better solution which 
would create less leakage is to see if your hearing aids (if you wear them that 
is) supports a streamer.  Phonak have one for their devices it is called the 
iCom and is brilliant.  I even use it for listening to JAWS babble on at work 
and still able to hear what is going on in the office.  It also has a built in 
Microphone and uses bluetooth too.  Oticon have just brought one out for their 
aids and Siemens has had one out for a while.

        Yes, I have a hearing loss, so need to crank them up, which is 
disturbing to other people who might be reading, in a quiet setting -

          i guess this all depends on how loud you need it.  Do you have a 
hearing impairment? Always best to go for closed back headphones as they leak a 
lot less sound than open back.  Also what do you plan to drive these 
headphones? Is it for listening to your iPod on        the go? or just 
listening to music / tv in a fixed location at home? How much are you prepared 
to pay?

            Hi all -

            Does anybody know of any good quality headphones--in ear or over 
the head--that don't leek sound? I need a pair I can use that won't disturb 
others sitting near by.

            Thanks -

            Andy
