    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Forgot another pro, open-backs look cooler.
