Open Back or Closed Back?

When considering the right headphones for you, closed or open back is something to consider. Closed back headphones are sealed and shut out environmental noise. Open back headphones allow air into the headphones, which gives the listener a more natural interpretation of the audio, which may be essential for music producers and podcast editors.For the ultimate in reducing environmental distraction, noise cancelling technology can be employed.

Why Go Wireless?

Wireless headphones offer increased mobility and are perfect if you need to listen on-the-go. However, they require charging and a strong signal to work, and may be prone to failure if any of these are compromised. Wired headphones, particularity those with a 3mm connection, have the advantage of offering a standardized, almost universal, connection solution.
