Blues 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2003 open usually sounds more airy and has larger soundstage closed, usually hasmore bass but narrower and more constricted soundstage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2003 (edited) Open backed cans are identifiable by the cups covering the drivers which are are exposed or opened. Excels in presenting an open sound with wider soundstaging than closed. Closed back cans have their drivers sealed. Excels in bass output. L-R = Closed/semi-open/open cans ie DT770/880/990 Edited August 13, 2003 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
