With open back headphones external sounds can be heard, while music from the headphone can leak to the outside through the vented enclosures. Open earcup designs produce high-fidelity and clear music due to the soundwaves being able to move freely, producing a naturally detailed and open soundstage.
In quiet environments open back headphones allow for audiophile level listening in personal space as close to the original performance as possible.
