In recent years, with the upgrading of Bluetooth headsets, the arrival of open earphones has opened up another realm for Bluetooth headsets. Due to their non-in-ear design, open earphones are easier to wear, more comfortable, and more suitable for sports scenes. In the face of friends who are just about to buy open-back headphones, let me tell you why open-back headphones are good? What's so good about it? How is it different from closed-back headphones, etc.? Take a look below!
Let me talk about the difference between open-back headphones and closed-back headphones?
Open-back headphones and closed-back headphones are two common types of headphones, and the difference between them is the design and function of the headphones.
Open earphones: The inner and outer sides of the sounding unit are connected to the outside world, users can hear the sound of the external environment, and can avoid unnecessary accidents when running outdoors, with higher safety. Its sound is generally more natural, the sound field is wide, the sound is relaxed, and the sense of listening is relaxed.
Closed earphone: It means that the inside and outside of the sound unit are not connected to the outside world. The unit is in a closed cavity, and the earphone pad is also made of sound insulation material. It can isolate part of the external noise, but the sense of hearing is not as relaxed as the open type, the sound field is not as wide as the open type, and it also feels a little fake. However, closed earphones have a strong sense of sound envelopment and better low-frequency flexibility, which may be more suitable for listening to some pop music.
Second, do open-back headphones sound good?
The sound quality of open-back headphones is generally considered inferior to that of closed-back headphones, because the design of open-back headphones allows external sound to enter, while also allowing the sound inside the earphone to spread outward, resulting in less focused and clear sound quality.
The sound quality of the previous open-back headphones was very poor, and it couldn't be compared with closed-back headphones! However, with the development of acoustic technology, major headphone brands are improving the problem of optimizing sound quality, and improving sound quality performance by adopting better drive unit, voice coil, diaphragm and other technologies. As far as the current situation is concerned, the sound quality is not inferior to that of closed headphones. At present, there are headphone brands such as Nanka, Shaoyin, and cleer that are doing very well in terms of sound quality.
