Ok first you say they won’t be able to hear what your listening to and then shortly after you say that they can hear what you are listening to! Lol which one is it? 2:23 somebody tell me if I’m just trippin’
Thank you for breaking this down for me
yooooo my MAN, we got exactly the same m50x’s. I got the reds too ooooo
When you a teen you better get them open back so your parents don’t beat yo ass when you don’t answer to when they tell you to come and do chores 🤣
the way he says grado is like a knife to my ears
If im using open back headphones, would the sound leak get picked up by a vocal mic?
Watching this in 2021 on some beyerdynamics open back headphones. MKBHD is the goat!
We are living in an age of individualism and anti social cultures that no body wants the world to know anything about them and what music they are listening to. There was once a time when no body cared and walked about with a big boom box on one shoulder blasting away and were proud of the music they listened to that they wanted the while world to know about.
Soooo don’t listen to hentai
Got it
stop cutting your own hair
😂😂😂😂puberty guy
OMG so yung
Daft Punk Split Up 🙁
Perfect, I just need them for work so I know when someone in the room is talking to me.
And with open back you lose the sensation of like, imprisonment. The sound has so much space to breathe that you can listen hours and hours and hours without any pain. The fact that most open backs are also neutral made me rediscover my music, because almost all consumer grade headphones are so bassy it eats up the rest of the spectrum. Open backs really made me rediscover music and now I love it even more than ever. I’m never going back from open backs
I do not like open back headphones. They sound bad. I don’t like the sound they give to the music. I think good closed backs are much more impressive and make the sound better.
m50x are trash
Me watching this in 2021 and thinking to make my closed back headphone into open back.
some extra details for those looking to buy some:
Closed back headphones are better for a Tailored listening experience, usually you get a stronger bass because you can trap the bass much easier in a closed chamber (people tend to enjoy that little bit of bass boost) however at the cost of high end sounding a bit shrill and weak at times
Open back headphones are mostly gonna be for professional use in a studio or at home and its a lot harder to trap the bass in an open chamber however they have a much wider sound and are able to produce higher quality top end noise, as well as noise further down sub bass
Semi-Open back headphones get the best and worst of both worlds, since they have that open back, the soundstage is relatively wide, however not as wide as full open backs. They also don’t bleed like open backs, but they don’t trap all the noise like closed backs. they have a much more detailed high end than closed backs but not quite as detailed as full open backs, the one thing they have that doesn’t have a cavoite would be the bass, they have a very detailed bass and trap bass really well, the sound still bleeds like crazy but the bass can stay contained in semi open-backs pretty well
Entry Level recommendations for each category
Closed back: Sennheiser HD280
Semi-open back: Samson SR850
Open back: Philips SHP 9500
KEEP IN MIND:
having loud bass, and having a lot of bass are NOT the same thing. loud bass simply implies a bass boost, meaning the frequencies in the bass section are just louder. having a large bass means you get more of those frequencies in the bass section, its a wider sound, it giving you more noise in that bass section rather than just giving you a little bass and boosting the crap out of it. Ex. Meze Empyreans their graph is a straight line all the way down to sub bass, however it might not be as boomy and punchy as a set of closed back Sonys
You forgot to mention why exactly they sound better
Opposite polarity sound waves in closed back headphones often manage get dampened by something on the inside of the cup but a part of them bounces back and interferes with the sound, where with open backs that sound gets thrown out the back
I’m not remotely sure why more companies have not tried making open back gaming headphones or alike for this reason,since research on dampening in the earcup goes out of the window and the price of good sound can drop massively
Watching it in 2021 and still the quality is just unbelievable
you should be demonitized. you shared an unwanted thing with the world .
and if the rest of you haven’t heard it, then i would be surprised, because of all of the bumping in the background … yes i heard all of it .
especially with what they guy said to that female at the end.
VERY DISRESPECTFUL !
Baby marques
Coming here after seeing DankPods lmao
Forgot another pro, open-backs look cooler.
Thank you for making a nice short video. I don’t know why all these Youtubers think their videos have to be 20 minutes long.
Remember him b4 d deeper voice
For people who want a cheaper open-back option, get the Samson SR850’s, they’re about 50 bucks. They are insanely good for the spend.
Grados lmao
this came out 6 years ago. If I had watched this video, I wouldn’t have bought my headphones I have rn. All I had heard at the time was that open back had higher sound quality, but none of the downsides because I was bad at doing my research. Now I have iems bc my friend who does his research liked them so I trusted him. I don’t regret those and I came back to my open backs because the wire got a little ruined (already bought replacements) and I miss my items immediately. Good video, wish I had seen it earlier.
Thanks for the explanation..Clear and consice..
Here because of linkbuds
hog rideeerrrr
for anyone looking to try out open back headphones I’d recommend getting a pair of koss porta pro or the kph40. they’re around forty bucks each and sound great
Dang… Marques looks so young compared to how he is now
which is best for watching movies and listening to music, closed or open?
Do the open-backs sound like hear through anc headphones?
I can honestly say, i absolutely hate the sound of open backed headphones, to me they sound very harsh in the midrange, to the point i cant use them without a 20 band EQ, its like listening to a speaker that has no cabinet, you need a headphone that translates well to ported speakers, and im afraid open backed types dont to my ears
you are so mean and weird
Please review the koss ksc75 or the superlux HD 681
Anyone using open backs for tinnitus?
Wew Halo
Also thanks
Thx for such a useful recap. I strongly believe the open back headband really fits my “interpretation service job”. I currently use the closed back Gaming headband and it’s too heavy plus I can’t hear my own voice while interpreting, so I do need to raise my voice invariably literally too loud that sometimes the audiences in the Seminar let me know I speak too loud ^^ … I’ll check out GRADO as suggested, not desiring very high price headset it wouldn’t mean I’ll interpret better. Just wanna one decent monitor headset that gives me clear voice of the speaker while I can hear my voice comfortably ^^
