“Will people near me hear whatever is playing because of the open design (like you can hear the muted sound from headphones if not on your head)? I don't want to feel like I have to keep it on very low volume in office/quiet area.”

No, you’ll be able to clearly hear the environment around you, but there isn’t sound leakage from the buds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On the loudest setting (which was painful for me, even with Navy issued hearing loss) my wife sitting about 2 feet away could tell i was listening to something, but not like open-backed headphones where she could pinpoint and recognize the voices/music/video game noises
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That’s such a good question! I wondered the same thing after I played them a bit. People very close to you (about 1 foot) can hear what you are listening to if it is very quiet where you are. I was told that when there is outside noise they can’t hear but when there’s no sounds around they can hear them pretty well. The volume has to be really turned up though.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think it greatly depends on a few factors: how good your hearing is; how close your neighbors are in relation to how well they can hear; and how much ambient noise there is in the immediate area. As an example, my hearing is well enough where at a very low volume (<20%) is loud enough for me to hear and enjoy bass lines (I think I should add that I am also a musician and that may have something to do with what I can hear). My sister says she only hears me if I put my ears within about an 8-inch radius of her head if I have the volume at around 30% in a quiet parlor at home. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi GJoy, Thank you for the information. People will not hear the audio that you're playing.The WFL900 open-ring design means it allows you to hear calls, listen to music, play games, and hear other types of online content anytime, all while remaining naturally connected to what’s happening around you. Hope this helps! David
