What are these like for sound leaking and isolation? I listen at an office so I need to be able to hear if someone is talking to me and if the phone is ringing. Also I don't want too much noise to leak out either.
Leakage was one of the main reasons I returned the Beats. Nearly zero sound leaks out of these.

With music paused or at low volume, you'd be able to hear a phone ringing with these on no problem. I think you'll have a hard time finding headphones with very little sound leakage but still let you hear a phone ringing with music on at a high volume.
