What types of headphones do you need for your home studio? Closed back headphones completely seal your ears from outside sounds but the sound quality of what you are doing is not great. It can be good to use for drum solos or guitar solos. Open back headphones don’t isolate the sounds at all. You can hear other environmental sounds around you. They do produce very good sound quality though. They are good in a controlled environment. Semi open back headphones have a great balance between isolation and sound quality. They are a good all-around headphone. In-ear headphones are not recommended. They are great for sound isolation but they can be irritating to your ear. Bluetooth headphones aren’t recommended either. They are not accurate for home studio use. They add latency and there is a delay in hearing the music.
