| Hey, they already make those! Go get yourself some open-back headphones. They sound great and I love mine, though they are rather silly. |

| I haven't seen these, and you gave me a new fear for what people might do in public. More seriously, they seem to have better audio so they're meant for home audiophile headphone usage? |

Seems like today Open-Back Headphones is more popular, they are still open in the back. The sound of the open air headphones are a bit hard to describe with other words than 'open' :-P It's just a bit more like listening to speakers. | | |
