Open Back Vs Closed
Choosing your next pair of headphones may be difficult at the best of times. With a whole world of headphones out there in every shape, size and colour sometimes getting to grips with the basics again can offer valuable guidance in your choice. So what is the difference between open and closed headphones?
Open Ear
Open ear headphones are constructed so that your ears sit in ear cups which allow air to pass through and are more open. Due to their open design they do have a certain level of sound leak in and out from whatever environment you’re in.
Pros
– More Comfortable
– Less Pressure on the Ear
– Bigger Soundstage
– Open and Expansive Sound
– More Natural Sounding
– Great for At-Home Listening
Closed Back
Closed back headphones have an ear cup that are completely sealed around the back meaning sound only directs in to your ear. A less dynamic, “in your head” sound may be experienced.
Pros
– Great Noise Cancellation
– Isolating Sound
– More Powerful Sound
– Great for commuting
– Great for Recording and Mixing
Wired Vs Wireless
Now what about wired and wireless headphones, which should you choose? It is a debate amongst audio enthusiasts that continues to stir but when it comes to the purchase, it is really down to personal preference and the use.
Wired Headphones
Wired Headphones use the traditional method we are all familiar with of plugging in to a 3.5 mm headphone socket. Whilst maybe not as compact and freeing wired headphones certainly have many pros.
Pros

Wireless Headphones
Wireless headphones have grown in in trend significantly and are now often a very accessible option for most people. They can affect your devices battery life however and have to be recharged often but are great in so many ways.
Pros

– Great Sound Quality
– Great for travelling, being active, gamers
