my right ear fucking loves this video
Yeah, why is it always to the right, I thought I had a problem with my ear, and I wanted to go actually check it to the nenarest doctor D:.
*****
Using them right now, bought them to day! They are awesome! GREAT soundquality:)
benjamin parmeggiani which did u buy? xD
Haha, forgot to write witch ones... I bought the Audio-technica m50 :)
k nice i guess,dunno too much about headphone models and stuff
My right ear enjoyed this video.
I had left and right earbuds switched thank you xD
Bro same
I thought my New headphones left side got damaged or something.
Why happen during the recording?
When I watched this I thought my left earphone broke..
Scared the fuck out of me.
same
why would they make this video like this? LOL
My current headsets volumecontroll constantly screws up the balance between right and left audio, I sat here constantly trying to fix it until I read this comment, damnit
Same
Lol and i already thought i finally had a valid reason to upgrade from my HD558 to something more expensive
0:48 he tried pulling out the mic he didn't have lol
speaking of headphones, my right ear really fucking enjoyed this video XD
thought my HD700 Sennheiser broke..lol i guess YT put the vid on Mono

I usually use headphones but lately i havent been since i got a big ass subwoofer from best buy.it was on sale, and bass is wonderful.
Daniel Stevenson
If you don't have familly
oommate and don't live in an apartment then Speakers would be better
naihanchin Kempo yep
right on the money with "speaking of headphones"
basically, if you watch porn, you dont want the open solution...
What if I do other things along with it...I'd have to get both?
I use ear buds instead is that good or bad
+♡ Kleinr Schmetterling ♡ (Liberty Schulz) whats wrong with porn lol
i guess my tentacle porn is what you consider horrible and degenerate "fetishes".. noted :)
but seriusly though.. a fetish is just that youre attracted to something thats outside regular intercourse.. like i love sexy legs.. or girls in high heels look hot.. ect. its just our nature to find some things attractive that others dont care for, or feel appalled about.. i have a friend who keeps hitting on overweight girls.. ill never understand his taste for it, but i dont go and tell him its disgusting -.- ... and why did you mix prostitutes into this? that is an entirely different beast.
If you watch porn in a library.
My right ear enjoyed this video, but my left ear on the other hand...
... I last saw it leaving the house with a shotgun.
Make sure you have a quiet pc if you really care about the audio and you want to get a pair of open audiophile headphones. With open headphones you can hear pretty much EVERYTHING that's going on around you. I have a Cooler Master Seidon 120v CPU cooler and the noise it makes completely fucks with the music that I'm trying to listen to. Also, open headphones may be a bad choice for you if you have extremely loud family members that can't seem to shut the fuck up for 20 minutes.
you sound like your talking from experience XD
Sounds like you need a new PC case or some sound insulating foam.
I can relate to the last part.
***** Or a new family
I have a Corsair h80i , and 2x Gtx 970s running 100% fan speed , and my case sidepanel is off , and my pc is on my table next to my monitor and it sounds like a jet and it is fast like a jet. I have some half open Sony MDR XB700 and some almost closed V-Moda Crossfade LPs , I am not sure to get the Crossfades M100 ( There is no other headphone that can compete with the tank like build quality and the bass at once. I dont want a headphone made out of plastic , I thought about some Hifiman he400 or something like that , but only if the sound stage can make it up to the price difference the the lack of build quality
Here's an idea. Take one pair of open headphones and one pair of closed. Saw them both in half. Take one half of each and tape them together. Now you can experience openess in one ear and closedness in the other for the ultimate headphone experience.
it would be bad :)
Duct tape sure does wonders.
Or you could buy the astro A40 TR and do that with the mod kit
Saw them in half 🤣🤣
So watching porn with open headphones is not a good idea eh?
♡ Kleinr Schmetterling ♡ (Liberty Schulz) "You people who watch pornography are degenerates, you're so used to it you don't even realize it and think it's the most normal thing in the world. you've been desensitized from morality."
Morality is something I'm not interested in to begin with, I'm a humanist. Call me what you will, you will never hear a lie about my thoughts nor call me a hypocrite. Also, learn to take a joke.
Sorry, not everyone is in a relationship, wants to go pick up a hooker, or wants to have a one-night stand with a girl he's not even interested in. We have desires and cravings, it's human nature and most dudes would go crazy without it. Of course your the epitome of purity "Beautiful and Amazing Mistress".
Keep on touching yourself coomers, you've got my respect. The less growth of the population, the better. (but at what cost...)

@@HBMHD The guy was right. You're an idiot.
Has anyone exeprienced pressure buildup in closed headphones?
Sometimes it feels like I'm diving or flying at high altitudes when wearing headphones, and my ears can actually start ringing for a brief moment.
This never happens when I'm not using closed headphones o.O
David Hager
I've always imagined airplanes to be 1000 times more damaging to ears than Headphones.
David Hager
I'd wager it's all about how high volume you play at ;)
SinerAthin Sound volume = pressure, they are the same thing. The details might make some difference but if you have two sets of headphones, one with almost completely enclosed pressure and another with an open design the enclosed ones could potentially cause more hearing damage at the same volume settings as the overall pressure against the ear drum is higher as you have "meaningless" extra pressure thats not actual sound.
Thats just basic scientific common sense and there may be some finer details that change things though.
Personally I prefer open ones because I can have my games at a higher volume and enjoy the sound effects and music without annoying the neighbours but I can still hear things around the house (which is usually quiet) and know if someone is at the door and things like that.
there are some open headphones that also generate pressure after putting on even bigger than my closed cans
porn + open headphone = bad life
occasional porn = ok
frequent porn = bad life
too much porn = worse life
watching porn in the subway = fucking go and see a psychologist
iliden strmrege whats wrong with porn?
porn is better than actual sex, u dont transmit diseases, u dont have to bother and waste money on a sexpartner (like hookers, or so called wifes or girlfriends), u dont have to spend money for condoms and such, there is more variety and acceptance to weirdest fetishes if wanted, you have more free time. u dont get anyone pregnant, u wont have to pay childsupport.
so if you have a closed one and don't hear your mom walking up to your room?
@@egghead2048 cumbrain
@@langelo4572 Then you can both enjoy it. Win-win.
Of all the videos to mess the audio up on... the one speaking about headphones... lol irony?
Let's be honest with ourselves. The 90s music that we remember so fondly was just as commercialized and terrible as the modern music... And yes I love it all... :p
5 sisters and 2 brothers closed headphones it is
The best straightforward Y-tube review I've ever seen.
Thanks. Salaam to you and to all.
love the short vids. To the point, like EVERY video should be.
i like that on the Vid where u talk of sound the sound is BAD i only hear u in the Rigth Speaker on this vid ....
Oh my god, this was all the information I needed in two minutes with minimal BS and a 3 second tag for the channel. I think I'm in love.
LOL I thought the left side of my headphone is broken, thanks Linus!
this video is so fucking ironic, only right side audio hahaha
Thanks for the short clear informative video, no 15 minute crap where you have to pick out the important bits.
I need open back headphones, my mum keeps calling me whenever im in a gaming session
3kliksphillip
yes
I like his brother, 2kliksphilip, better.
XD just like me
@@DunkeysLongLostSon ew, you like 2kliksphilip? kliksphilip is way better than him!
I'm not trying to cover up anything. I've got Miley on my phone, I've got Bieber on my phone... I have zero death metal on my phone :P
Open is definitely better for gaming unless there's a ton of ambient noise. Positional audio will be much more accurate.
I like your quick no bull stuff. I quit most by other people because they ramble on and on partly because they have not properly prepared and partly because they talk so bloody slowly. Don't they get that most people just want the info and not to listen to slow motion blubber. Thanks.
I don't think I'll ever go back to closed design again.
Open sounds so much better than closed just by the more natural sound. They're also more handy as you're able to here people around you talk. There's no need to take them off when someone wants you something.
Open Headphones= No Porn
Holy shit, that's the answer!
the audio is panned to the right
You'd be amazed how many people complain when I have dirt under my fingernails. Apparently there's no way for me to win here lol
Not a single like or a comment to this ? Weirddd
@@SerSleepsALot second like
Guys, really? All the comments about the slight audio issue? Anyways, this video was great. Techquickie always comes out with fantastic videos and this was a good guideline for a novice headphone buyer.
This channel fuckin rules, really informative!!!
Linus goes both ways, too!
You forgot that there is a bit of an in-between. I have a pair of V-Moda Crossfades and they come with a vent on each side to allow for a more natural sound, however they still don't let too much sound in or out. These vents do make a noticeable difference as the sound quality deteriorates some if you cover them.
Didn't mention one of the THE most important differences to (especially uninitiated) headphone users - BASS. Closed back cans typically offer superior bass response, particularly at lower price points. Very simply - imagine you have a speaker cabinet, then take the back off. Bass is still there, but you lose (yes internet it's 'lose', not 'loose' lol )a LOT of the reinforcement and punch that comes from the cabinet. Same thing with headphones. Open is more natural, but you typically have to pay more for quality bass (not Beats bass, real bass - extended and powerful) that you can get for far cheaper with a good closed back.
So open or closed, you compromise either way - unless of course money is no object.
It's because of the reverberation in the ear cups as the lower frequencies bounce around the inside of the cup.
The bass from open-back headphones is actually more neutral. There are some open-back headphones like the Koss UR40's that have alot of bass, as well.
Yeah right channel is a little stronger. I'll talk to B-roll.
If Techquickie, or any of the channels Linus is on, ever decides to do a scene with Linus listening to Death Metal in private, i recommend:
Eternity Too Short - Decapitated
Spheres of Madness - Decapitated
Fleshgod Apocalypse - In Honour of Reason
That should have been in the beginning of this video. Would have given the audience a hilarious surprise.
So glad I stayed up until 3 a.m. to see this.
Bought my openback headphones shp9500 two days ago. Cant wait Though i dont expect ot to beat my iem sound quality, the comfort and 3.5mm is what i want
Also, closed-backs being somewhat sealed constrict the driver to an extent, whereas open-backed earcups allow for freer movement of the membrane in the driver, which I think sounds better in most cases.
Not all closed back headphones isolate well. Also, closed-back headphones are dependent on clamping force to form a tight seal to block out sound, and that can become uncomfortable.
If you want isolation, IEM's are best, especially used with foam earplugs.
I prefer open-back headphones as long as my air conditioner is not running alot. In the summer I used closed back headphones for this reason.
I still thumbs up'd the video as I always do.
I appreciate all you, Slick, diesel, and b roll do. Keep on rollin fellow professional geeks!
Should be easy, if you see a solid plate on both sides rather than perforations, it's closed, you might be able to see through the perforations to the other side of the drivers slightly as well.
Caboki hair loss breakthrough ad is almost as long as a Tech Quickie video. You can beliebe dat, belieber.
I'm Black and I'm a Beast in many ways,cod Beast White Girl Beaster,Weight Lifting Beast,Cannabis Beast,Dancing Beast,Gardening Beast,Working Beast. Open Ear headphones blows closed out of the competition. I remember when I had my first open ear headphones by Sennheiser back in 1999 or 1998. I could hear sounds in my music I never heard before. I was listen to Ice Cube and I started looking over my shoulders,because it felt like he was talking right next to me. I feel asleep to a song and woke up quickly,because I thought someone was whispering next to my ear.....Crazy! Open ear all day everyday,but not in public,too much noise gets in. At home,open your ear 24/7 surround sound in person studio experience.
Keepskatin ^.^ open all the way
it depends on the environment and the audio needs...
This guy is awesome o.o
He looks so natural at talking and doesn't use any "uuhhh" and "soooo" in his speech.
I bet if he worked in an electronic store, everyone would buy everything he's trying to sell
Problem with closed headphones: after 2 hours your ears will feel strange and you might get a headache.
I have used both for a few years and I prefer open ones.
it would be nice to have a surround sound ep, detailing sound cards, hooking up with regular comp speaker vs a receiver system, etc
you can hear it through both, it's just louder in the right. there is still sound in the left though
with open headphones it's like switching from 2D to 3D, it's insane, THE SOUND JUST FUCKIN BREATHES
Smart manchild,or mancat? Open ears all day.
Cant you just drill holes in a closed back headphone?
the nti is not a closed headphone anymore
I don't have a lot of experience with headphone, but I got a open headphone (HD 555 coincidentally) as my first headphone. Probably because I want to be able to hear the phone ring, door bell..etc that requires my attention.
Did anyone else notice how on his pair of Sennheisers, not sure which model those are, they look a little like 558's, but he has the little sticky nub for attaching the Antlion Modmic! Might have been worth mentioning
Also, open headphones don't project sound to your surroundings as much as Linus is describing. At a comfortable listening level, my 558s emit a hum. If you listen carefully you can probably tell what I'm listening to, but it certainly isn't the same as having the headphones on.
I have the same Sennheiser cans he's wearing.
Glad I'm not the only person who only heard the right side...
Open typically has better Stage, Treble, Comfort (less heat), and are just more natural
Closed typically got dat bass, more isolation than an open but less than most In-Ear-Monitors, and the backs won't get water in them as easy haha
Semi-Open are Open but don't leak as much sound, but still more than ideal for an office environment at higher volumes and might let in a little less sound.
BRO HEADS OFF TO YOU MEN !!!! WOW !!!. thanks for this important video. even a small kid can easily get understand by watching after your video, you have solved my recording problem. thanks bro ..
Clear and straight forward explanations. Cool and thanks =D
I use open Headphones when I'm at my PC because I'm the only person in the room so nobody can hear my stuff anyway and closed Headphones when I'm outside, for obvious reasons.
Also imo. open Headphones are much better for gaming (esp. shooters) because you can hear better where a sound is comming from when you use open headphones.
Yes, he also has other channels (LinusTechTips , LinusCatTips)
vid from 2013 still working in 2021 damn son
how did you knew justin bieber is my desktop wallpaper?
So it’s basically noise isolation vs airy sound
I thought my expensive headphones were broken while listening to this. Gave me quite a scare.
I hear because the open is more air - ie they allow for better directional sound. Important when playing FPS games. knowing where someone is besides left or right
My only question is why would people get open headphones and not just play the audio out loud? If it is the same, like it appears, why spend the money on the headphones, where’s the positive?
I thought my headset had broken when watching this.... untill I saw the comments.
really enjoyed the annotations
Honestly, I held off on open headphones because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hear my game, but I bought a pair of sennheiser PC 363D's to replace my Bose qc-30's and barely noticed a difference background noise-wise, plus the sennheiser's get better quality sound
Open headphones FTW been through 2 open headphones, when I borrow closed I'm reminded why I bought opened in the first place.
There are plenty of headphones that don't get so hot, just check what material the cups are made of.
I knew this before watching this video... I still enjoyed it.
My closed headphones with surround sound allowed both my ears to enjoy this video.
Kinda ironic. Talking about well balanced sound and ambience and I can only hear in my right ear. Way to go.
How about a fast as possible about fragmentation on hard drives. How defragmenting drives can have a big effect on performance and also why it only works for hard drives but a bad for flash based memory.
Very well explained, thank you!
It may be a case of "the audio is fine @ the studio, yet youtube messes it up". Also remember that there are only like 3 guys making it, and they have other jobs around the company. A little perspective, if you will
Now this is the proper volume!
He forgot to mention one critical point: If you're a basshead then you should get closed headphones. Bass in closed headphones will always be greater vs open headphones. So if you primarily listen to Rap, Hip-Hop, House then closed headphones are the way to go. If you love vocal (Adele, Michael Bolton), Classical, classic rock, then opens give you a more ethereal, natural sound IMO.
This in turn most likely means the closed headphones have a much more "colored" sound image.
The audio is fine for me as well It would be quite funny if everyone complaining about the sound had a broken left ear piece.
I love your videos man!
Open headphones are a lot more comfortable. Not only do they allow your head to breathe, they don't press against your head as hard, like closed headphones tend to do.
The left ear isn't alone. It's just not as self sensitive as right ear.
1- Buy open ones
2 - Use a lot of tape on them when you need to addapt
3-...
4- Profit
linus mentioning death metal? it doesn't get better than that.
He forgot to say the most important disadvantage......there is fuck all bass in open headphones.
The audio is fine for me.
My cheaply built open ear HD Sennhiesers fell apart after a few years. The plastic broke and the ear cups ripped. They had a few perks over stock headphones sound wise, but, the sound is too bright and overwhelming. I am now getting the Shure SRH940 closed headphones. Hopefully they will be better.
0:31 "If you're in a library listening to your Death Metal..."
Awesome, hahaha.
Open is better for gaming IMO... bigger sound stage
+RockCh4lk Ever been to a LAN party?
+Zightz I use my open back headphones at LAN parties....
Bigger is always better,no matter what it is in life,bigger is better.
Yeah, you want to be able to communicate with your team that you're talking to in person. Open backed headphones are perfect for LAN.
@@Poketrainer317 I see you're a shouter instead of mic user.
Slick should do that one. He owns more than 5 mechanical keyboards.
I gave no death metal either but I prefer closed headphones because I feel like there is more bas in them!
I am using studio headphones when I'm not gaming!
Good explanation, thank you.
yeah that freaked me out too.
i strongly disagree with the "just as" part but otherwise you are probably right :)
Which one is better for music production?
you made me think my speakers are out of order until i try some music to test it
But Linus, open/semi open headphones have better spacial positioning audio for games like CSGO. You should try out the Superlux HD668B. They're like AKG K240 clones, but sound just as good at a lower price. Add some Velour pads, and mod the screens a bit and you have yourself some good cans!
