See you in Hongkong next week

Pros:

• Closed-back headphones provide better sound isolation so the listener can make out, pronunciations or lyrics in songs, audiobooks, or podcasts.
• They reduce ambient noise that may muffle the playing audio.
• They are ideal for use in crowded, noisy places.

Cons:

• With nowhere to escape, sound waves can warm the air sealed in between the cups and your ears and create uncomfortable heat.
• You can’t use them when you need to hear external sounds, like when you’re exercising outdoors or you’re in the office.

Applications: Home entertainment, studios, medium gaming, and when listening to audio files outdoors.
