I personally would like to see more closed models are there are thousands of open models in the world and only about 50 closed models in the world.
Heya,
My first reaction to the title: "Need more closed headphones."
I like headphones because they're private, isolated, and block out noise. Open headphones don't do that. I live in a world full of noise. House noise. Fan noise. Whatever. I like closed headphones more than open headphones because you can block it all out for the most part and just have the music and nothing else. But it's very hard to get higher end headphones that are excellent and closed back. I don't need 100% isolation. But better than open-air isolation. Currently Denon & AudioTechnica really offer the "high end closed back" headphone market something. No one else really offers that. Everyone else offers open-air. Sure, there's likely some high end closed backs out there that I'm obvious to (some old high end sony's? some other vintage things? I'm sure there's other high end closed backs, but lately, the big flags from dynamics to orthos are open air).
I'd love to have a closed HE-500.
Very best,

Headphones that allow you to feel "speaker bass impact," better PRaT, better construction. My kids destroy grados
