When I was at home jamming out with my open-back headphones, my wife could hear everything. We don’t exactly share the same taste in music, and as I wanted to stay married, I had to find an alternative. I tried out a number of closed-back headphones, but the sound just wasn’t the same. 

 

I knew I had to figure out a solution, so I decided to apply my loudspeaker design skills to headphones.

 

After deciding to tackle the task of designing and building my ideal closed headphone I turned my sights to comfort — like eliminating those annoying “hot spots” on your ears or head that distracts from the music and limit listening time and on keeping the headphone set light. To me an uncomfortable and heavy headphone is like a terrible seat at a concert; it’s a barrier to enjoying the music.
