I do wonder how wooden phones sound. I'd imagine that resonance would have play a huge factor in order to take advantage of the wood qualities. I've seen a few online but kinda thought that they might be a gimmick. But alas, I'm not as knowledgeable as you folks. Curious if some manufacturer went to the Alps and used a Spruce that is several hundred years old (lived through the little ice age). Would it sound better like a Stradivarius?
Bro.....there are two tones in nature and science.
Fundamental tone: sound coming from the source.
Overtone: wet, dry, cavity, and damping factor comes in play.
Dry factor is reflected signal from wall, without any change in phase(back of speaker, reflecting g it backl
Wet factor is reverb.
Cavity factor set the timing between the reverb and the volume of reverb.
Damp factor damps the tone certain frequency type, like mahagony sounds warm because it damps mids and treble, gaboon ebony sounds analytical because it damps everything making fundamental tone priority.
This all happens on the pore of wood. Now all wood have different arrangement of grains which lead to different shapes and sizes of micropore and normal pore.
These shape and sizes with those factor above change the sound.
Well open back wood headphone consider all factor except the wet factor because, there is nothing behind which get reflected. So no open headphones get affected that much by wood except grado as there way of tuning driver is very advanced
