Open-back headphone designs are often higher-performance but have poor noise isolation and leak sound. Closed-back designs provide better noise isolation and leak less sound.

Over-ear headphones sit over your ear and surround your ear with a ring of padding. On-ear headphones are padded but rest on top of your ear. In-ear monitors are worn inside your ear canal.

Driver type
More information
Speakers and headphones use a device called a 'driver' to create sound. Different types of drivers have different strengths and weaknesses, but can all produce great sound. Common varieties include dynamic, planar magnetic, and electrostatic.

Description
Precision Planar Magnetic Headphones
The Thieaudio Wraith is the next generation of the Phantom, a headphone that gained a loyal following for its modding potential and value. Wraith builds on that foundation with an entirely new 97 mm planar magnetic driver, a redesigned airflow structure, and a complete overhaul of the chassis for long term comfort and durability. The result is a headphone built for both professional audio work and serious music listening.
New 97 mm planar magnetic driver
Wraith uses a new planar driver built around a German conductor membrane, thinner magnetic plates, and a magnetic field that is roughly one and a half times stronger than the previous Phantom. The diaphragm is compressed thinner for more uniform surface tension, which improves responsiveness and resolution across the entire frequency range. Each pair is hand assembled and matched so performance stays consistent left to right. The result is speed, control, and detail that meet the demands of engineers and enthusiasts who want accuracy without losing musicality.
Balanced tuning with natural mids
Thieaudio developed a new tuning for Wraith based on measurements from hundreds of reference headphones. The mids and treble follow a pinna compensation profile that lines up with how the ear naturally perceives sound between one and three kilohertz. This delivers a clear, natural presentation of vocals and instruments with none of the hollow or sharp qualities that can appear in poorly tuned planar designs. Treble remains clean and extends past 40 kHz while the fast planar diaphragm provides tight, accurate bass hits without masking detail in the mids. There is a small amount of warmth for musical enjoyment, while still holding the neutrality needed for studio use.
Precision built for long sessions
The redesigned headband uses a stainless steel frame, CNC machined parts, and soft microfiber padding. A double band system spreads weight evenly to reduce pressure points during longer sessions. The microfiber flannel pads are breathable and isolating, and can be replaced easily. Wraith also uses a detachable cable system so you can replace or upgrade cables without changing the headphones themselves.
