The Best Open-Back Headphones for Audio Engineers

Audio engineers are well aware that when it comes to spending long hours in the studio, open-back headphones are the way to go! Unlike their closed-back counterparts, open-back headphones have ear cups with perforations or vents, allowing sound to escape and for air to move freely between the inside and outside of the headphone cups. This design offers a more natural and spacious audio experience, as the sound waves are not confined within the ear cups. Open-back headphones are favored by audiophiles and professionals seeking accurate sound reproduction and a wider soundstage.
