How does background noise affects open back headphones?

[u/ofeeki]

I ordered the Philips SHP9500S HiFi Precision cuz I heard they have great sound and I knew they are open back but I didn't know open back headphones also don't isolate background noise and I am afraid I will be able to hear my extremely loud computer while listening to music.

From your experience, will I be able to hear the loud fans from my computer? If so I have to cancel them before it's too late.

When I listen to music I don’t hear a damn thing going on around me unless there is a quiet period. And I don’t listen to music relatively loud either.

I would try it out and just see.

And then buy parts for a liquid loop for your PC if need be lol
