You’ll hear more of the outside world, yes, but if you’re in a quiet room mixing on open-back headphones, the thinking is that it’s a situation that will deliver a more ‘monitor like’ experience – great if you’re limited in space. Open-back phones allow more sound in – a terrible idea for detailed mixing, you might think – but also offer a much wider, more natural sound stage. You’ll hear more detail and mix better – in theory, anyway. Less sound going out means you won’t annoy anyone in the room and less sound coming in means better isolation from the outside world, so less to distract you and interfere with your mixing. Closed-back headphones offer a more intimate mix experience all of the sound is directed towards your ears with less escaping to the outside world.

We had previously looked at Focal’s other pair of new headphones, the Listen Professionals.
