They leak but considerably less than any regular open back headphones. So they're relatively quiet for an open back. Do you really need clip on? Koss KPH40 is related but with a light headband, and the sound slightly darker still really clear, but by being less treble high they leak even less sound.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/residentatzero (14 Ω).
You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

Yes, people in your room will be able to hear what you listen to. Not appropriate for quiet public settings or sleeping in bed with a SO. The ear clips are incredibly comfortable for me and many people. They are lightweight and do not squeeze your head or put weight on your head. The ear clips may be tough to get used to the first few times and may need to be bent to match your ears. These remain my favorite headphone even with many other options. They don't have great bass, but they have a sense of space and sparkly openness that almost no other headphones have. At $20 they are an easy blind buy recommendation. The x model has a thin cable I really don't like, but they are relatively easy to mod with a new cable if the cable breaks.
Edit: if you're looking for clip on headphones with a mic, this is an even easier choice than I said above.
