But im used to my in ear wired headphones having pretty much zero sound leak when i put memory foam tips on them and stick them in my ears and am looking for the same lack of sound leak in over ear headphones now and unfortunately these still have too much sound leak for me

The cord plugs into the left side of the headphones but the headphone jack on my laptop is on its right side
