Most are open-back models, which allow the sound from the back of the speaker driver inside to escape, and which thus avoid the “boxy” sound that driver enclosures can create. Audiophiles are happy to suffer the high cost and total non-portability of open-back ’phones because of the huge, spacious sound they offer.Read more
