Headphones come in a wide variety of designs, sizes, colors and electrical properties. They are mostly designed for one area of application in order to be able to benefit from these headphones. Closed headphones are preferable for recording because they can transmit the least of the signal to the microphone. These are also great for live acts to block out external noises when performing. On the contrary, half-open or open headphones are often used for mixing or mastering, as these often reproduce a good spatial representation. Depending on your taste and area of application, you can choose from the various headphones.
