I don't think they are inherently leakier than cheap ear-hook types (although obviously rather more expensive). They do also have an inbuilt microphone, so I tend to use them for Babbel / Duolingo language practice, and occasionally phone calls. They are not comfortable enough to wear all day, but an hour or two in one go is fine.
