It seems that most of the high end popular headphone models on the market are open. I have never used headphones which are not closed. (I currently use the ATH-A900).
Besides the obvious advantage in Closed Headphones of isolation for both you and those around you, what are the other advantages/disadvantages of having a closed phone vs open phones.
I am looking longterm at buying an elite headphone, and I am curious how headphones like the AD2000 and W1000/5000 would differ, if one is accepted as sounding "better" (unlikely I know). Any explanation is great. Thanks.
