Product Information

Open-back headphones are better for spatial audio mixing, but you can use closed-back headphones too. If you are after a specific type of sound or "soundstage" or whatever other buzzwords are popular with self professed Audiophiles, stay away from these unless you are serious about tweaking your EQ settings and being exposed to some hard truths.
