I don't get paid enough to stand here behind a camera like this sorry sorry I
0:03
couldn't hear you I had some closed headphones on let me just switch to my open
0:07
ones what's that awesome you're awesome
0:10
thank you closed headphones have a speaker mounted against a solid cup the
0:14
main advantage of this is noise isolation and it goes both ways if
0:18
you're in a crowded area with a lot of ambient noise around you and you don't
0:22
want to hear that crap you want to listen to your music or your movie or
0:25
whatever else you happen to be doing closed headphones are awesome for that
0:29
it also goes the other way if you're in a library listening to your death metal
0:32
and the person sitting next to you doesn't want to also enjoy the
0:35
experiened a closed headphone will assist with that as well they're great
0:38
for monitoring for example my camera guy right over there is using closed
0:42
headphones so the sound of my voice doesn't interfere with him listening to
0:46
me through the camera and they're also great for things like gaming because the
0:50
sound from the speakers won't get picked up by the microphone and interfere with
0:54
what you're trying to say to your fellow players open headphones by contrast have
0:59
perforated ear cups allowing air to freely pass in and out air I guess is
1:04
also another way of saying noise passes freely in and out this gives them a more
1:09
uh well open natural or Airy sound it doesn't sound like the sound is coming
1:13
from inside your head it's more like that noise could be coming from anywhere
1:17
around you and you wouldn't know the difference now the disadvantage is that
1:21
everyone around you can hear the sound pretty much as well as you can and it
1:25
doesn't isolate any of the noises that are being made by say for example people
1:30
operating your camera I personally prefer open headphones I like the more
1:33
natural sound but not everyone does if you're looking for maximum isolation
1:37
from your environment for your optimal listening enjoyment closed might be the
1:41
option or even closed headphones with active noise cancellation active noise
1:45
cancellation Technologies include introducing things like static or white
1:48
noise that makes it so that it's harder to hear the things around you or even
1:52
more advanced systems that have microphones on the outside and listen
1:55
for sounds to actively try to block them as you're enjoying your music movies or
1:59
