Open Vs Closed Headphones as Fast As Possible

2013-05-03
I don't get paid enough to stand here behind a camera like this sorry sorry I couldn't hear you I had some clothes headphones on let me just switch to my open ones what's that thank you post headphones have a speaker mounted against a solid cup the main advantage of this is noise isolation and it goes both ways if you're in a crowded area with a lot of ambient noise around you and you don't want to hear that crap you want to listen to your music or your movie or whatever else you happen to be doing closed headphones are awesome for that it also goes the other way if you're in a library listening to your death metal and the person sitting next to you doesn't want to also enjoy the experienced a closed headphone will assist with that as well they're great for monitoring for example my camera guy right over there is using closed headphones so the sound of my voice doesn't interfere with him listening to me through the camera and they're also great for things like gaming because the sound from the speakers won't get picked up by the microphone and interfere with what you're trying to say to your fellow players open headphones by contrast have perforated ear cups allowing air to freely pass in and out air I guess is also another way of saying noise passes freely in and out this gives them a more well open natural or airy sound it doesn't sound like the sound is coming from inside your head it's more like that noise could be coming from anywhere around you and you wouldn't know the difference now the disadvantage is that everyone around you can hear the sound pretty much as well as you can and it doesn't isolate any of the noises that are being made by say for example people operating your camera I personally prefer open headphones I like the more natural sound but not everyone does if you're looking for maximum isolation from your environment for your optimal listening enjoyment clothes might be the option or even clothes headphones with active noise cancellation active noise cancellation technologies include introducing things like static or white noise that makes it so that it's harder to hear the things around you or even more advanced systems that have microphones on the outside and listen for sounds to actively try to block them as you're enjoying your music movies or whatever else it happens to be don't forget to like this video share this video and subscribe to tech wiki if you enjoyed this episode of as fast as possible
