Open vs Closed Back Headphones - What's the difference?
[image] In our surveys, over 70% of headphone users are unaware of the difference between open back and closed back headphones. To us, that's shocking. It's like saying that 70% of automobile drivers couldn't tell you the difference between ...

Interest Check: Closed Back Headphones
After owning many, many closed back headphones (From Koss to Sony to Philips brands) I have found the end game in the Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro. It has every feature I'm looking for in a closed back. Main Battle Tank build quality: check. Detachable Cable: check. AMAZING Bass and sub bass reproduction: check. Detailed sound: check. Wide and deep soundstage: Check. The Only thing that would make it better is knocking down the price.

Focal Elegia Closed-Back Headphone
I have no clue how these flew under the radar but I had an ad pop-up advertising this new headphone. I haven't been able to find a ton of info on it but apparently it's already on sale: https://www.moon-audio.com/focal-elegia-headphones.html....

Massdrop x HIFIMAN HE4XX Planar Magnetic Headphones
I’m glad to get off Ray’s subject... From other’s reviews, the consensus is: •The EMU Teak is a warm, fun, bass heavy headphone, one of the best (mostly) closed headphones under $1000. •The Koss ESP 95X is an airy, analytical, quick-transients (notes are very crisp without any bloat) analytical open-backed electrostatic headphone. You couldn’t have picked two headphones that were more polar opposites from eachother! I haven’t heard the Teak...

An Update on my Vintage Koss Headphones
About a year ago, I shared the story of how I discovered a working set of Koss headphones from the 1960s while I was killing some time in an antique store . https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-koss-porta-pro-x-headphones/talk/1790498 ...

Acoustic Research AR-H1 Planar Magnetic Headphones
That's a sturdy review, I appreciate it! You really gave them a chance but they're lacking in some checkboxes. I'll be looking at more planars but not ready to go with the HE-4XX just yet. The last pair of hifimans I got (the first massdrop ones a year or two back, cheap $100 pair) weren't my cup of tea. The HE-4XX seems to have good reviews. Any thoughts on the KOSS electrostatic ones? I'm on the fence about getting some closed beyers...

Massdrop x E-MU Purpleheart Headphones
Yep, it helps with sound stage too. But these are a closed back headphone, so they'll never as good as something like a 4xx or 6xx. You can always get the cheaper brainwaves hm5 pads... I think they're like 22 bucks. I just went with sheepskin cause I'm baller and for the comforts ;) positively you can power these better with a regular phone than you can with the 4xx or 6xx too. If you don't mind open, consider some of the koss options...

What's a good "portable" closed back headphone?
And for this, I really do mean portable and not transportable. The closed back's I currently own are the TR-X00 Ebonies and AudioQuest NightOwls and very much enjoy the sound sig on both. Issue is, they are a pain in the butt to carry around ...
