Closed-Back Headphones
Closed-back headphones are an essential tool during recording sessions – they isolate from ambient sound and eliminate microphone bleed. Find models from Beyerdynamic, Sony, Warm Audio, Steven Slate Audio and AIAIAI, trusted in professional recording studios worldwide.
Closed-back headphones – what are they for and how to choose?
Closed-back headphones feature a sealed ear cup construction that effectively isolates the ear from ambient noise. This makes them indispensable during recording sessions – a vocalist or instrumentalist can hear their DAW mix without the risk of sound from the headphones bleeding into the microphone and contaminating the recording. The closed construction also makes closed-back headphones ideal for loud environments, film sets and live sound applications.
At Wired Tunes you will find closed-back headphones from brands that have been setting industry standards for years. Beyerdynamic offers models renowned for neutral sound and build durability – the DT 770 Pro is one of the most popular choices in recording studios worldwide. Sony delivers precise closed monitors ideal for mixing and mastering. Warm Audio and Steven Slate Audio bring analogue character and warmth to closed-back headphones, while AIAIAI stands out with a modular construction that allows full personalisation of the setup.
When choosing closed-back headphones, pay attention to impedance – high-impedance models require a dedicated headphone amplifier to reach their full sonic potential. If you need help choosing, visit the Wired Tunes showroom in Warsaw.
