Are you thinking of buying or changing your studio headphones? In this video I explain how to choose studio headphones and what factors to take into consideration. Open-back headphones have open earcups and allow sound to escape. This makes them more comfortable to wear for long periods of time, but also less acoustically insulated. Closed studio headphones, on the other hand, have closed ear cups and block sound from the outside. This makes them more suitable for recording or audio editing, but they can be less comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
The sensitivity of studio headphones is a measure of how powerful they are. Higher sensitivity means the headphones are easier to drive by an amplifier or sound card. If you use headphones with low sensitivity, you need a more powerful amplifier or sound card.
Studio headphone impedance is a measure of resistance to current flow. Higher impedance means that headphones require more power to operate. Headphones with a low impedance are easier to drive from a portable device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Headphones with a higher impedance are better suited for use with an amplifier or sound card.
The frequency response of studio headphones is the measure of how well the headphones can reproduce all sound frequencies. An extended frequency response means that the headphones are capable of reproducing a wide range of sound frequencies. This is important for musicians and audiophiles, who want to hear full, detailed sound.
Watch this video until the end to understand how to choose studio headphones.
