Depends very much on the material used. But I have noticed this on many different products as well. I wonder if those plastics can be a health hazard when they have deteriorated to the sticky mess. 

One of my Beocom 2 table bases have got all sticky and messy....

@jonnyb

could you please, tell me how much sound they are leaking at a normal volume level?

Personally I don't like to sit next to someone, who wears headphones, when I clearly can hear what he is listening to :-(

I wouldn't want that to happen for someone else with me wearing the H5's.

They appear to be very good in that regard. At 60% volume they do not leak very much sound at all.

Has anyone got an idea of the sound compared to the H3:s? I love my H3:s, so if I can come close to that sound quality with out getting all tangled up in cables it would be a must have. Sadly my local dealer is closed for construction/updates of the store for the summer, so no chance for me to test them out, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. 

I was surprised to get a notification in the Beoplay app telling me that a software update was already available. 

I've installed it already. I think it has lessened the treble on the default audio profile. 

To the owners of these earphones, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions before buying them myself:

- about the magnetic close: does it only turn them off, or when you separate them again they turn on? I had other earphones that did that and it drove me crazy because they would turn on by themselves everytime the magnets separated in my pocket.

- Can you also turn them off with the remote button? or only by pressing them together?

- Do they stick out of the ear a lot? It's hard to tell from the press pics.

Thanks!

Thank you for all the info.
