I'm looking to invest in some decent monitoring headphones and wanted some feedback on Open back and Closed back headphones. I wouldn't be using these for anything more than just getting my mixes right, no vocal tracking or anything. From what I've read, open back headphones give much better perception of the stereo field but also bleed outside the headphones (which isn't a problem for my uses). what are your experiences with open and closed back headphones? and has anyone used a pair of semi-open headphones? (e.x. AKG 240's, DT 880's)
