What does the "Semi-Open" stand for?

They let in sound from the outside. When its open its supposed to give you a cleaner more accurate sound. Not the best for public transportation but if you're working on something in a studio environment or at home then they work just fine.

From my understanding and from what I've just read in my Google results, Semi-Open means that the headphones can leak a little bit of sound if you go into higher volumes. I mentioned this in my review of the headphones, didn't know that's what Semi-Open meant until now, but I would say that maybe they are not the best for a library studying session setting unless you are not going to blast your music, other than that the sound is great in these headphones in my opinion and the little bit of sound that does leak hasn't bothered my wife and friends so far. From time to time people may ask me to turn down my music etc. but not too often so far. But yeah, Semi-Open means that the headphones are not completely sound-isolating, they may leak some sound but they may not too, depending on volume etc. Does that pretty much answer your question? Hope my answer helps/helped you!

it means a fair amount of the sound leaks out of the headphone, these headphones are not going to be totally quiet to those around you, it makes for better sound but not good for privacy or if you don't want to bug people if using them in public places.

"Semi-Open" means that the drivers (elements which radiate and produce sound) are in enclosures/shells (which fit up against your ears) which are not sealed. The enclosures have air vents. Just like loudspeakers, some designs are sealed designs and some are ported/vented designs. Traditionally those who work in recording studios want to use sealed designs so there is no leakage of sound outside of the headphone shells. In a home environment that probably does not matter. Sound bleed from these headphones is not much at all unless, as someone else said, you want to blast your music. In that case you'll be deaf before too long :-).

The opening goes a little more than halfway down the side. I think it just has one velcro closure near the top.

It's kind of open. Not solid, but the poorly welded mismatched metal straps are attached to the sides. I suggest you check my review. There are lots better gas can carriers out there for the money.

Why? This is a different model and remove the top half need half an hour. It is wonderfully open in two positions. Remove not the problem - put back harder, because it will be necessary to adjust the opening again.

No, its just either opened or closed, I think its supposed to pinch for it to work.

Its open.. So its optional, it comes with Velcro dividers inside that you can pull off and stick back in.

I wondered the same thing, J. Schor. I'm guessing it means the buttons on top to lock each side when open. That makes sense to me, since they do have an important function in keeping it from collapsing when in use. It also helps to close the unit for putting into your auto or for storage.

when open, there is no pole in the center. the two halves are held shut with magnets and open to reveal a full opening

A notch in a latch opening. Part that can be used as a stand has to be fully extended to access opening.

the design is fully "open" not "semi-open" so yes, as the sound will leak in either case.

Side entry. Which is nice for the beautiful days when you might not want to zip it up, the top is easy to flip over and leave open.

I'm not sure what "semi-assembled" means. We put the pieces together. All the parts were there and the instructions were clear.

The degree to which the holes are opened controls the heat, moisture and condensation. I generally start with the holes closed. Depending upon how long and how hot it gets, I open them partially until comfort level is reached.

Hope this helps, the door from the little cabinet open from the shorter part of the island. Meaning the opening portion of the door is located at the shorter portion of the island.

It should not say anything about opened or closed. It's a fixed blade. It's an exceptional value.

The open position is as pictured. If you want it to be flat, simply do not open the iron legs. Jerry - The Gear Guy
