Open or Closed Headphones: For keys and piano, open or semi-open headphones are best used. As they allow for ambient noise to come in. Which allows for a more organic and natural sound.

Comfort: Lastly, keyboard headphones need to be comfortable. Due to the fact that they’ll most likely be used for long periods of time such as practicing. Also, the lighter headphones tend to be more comfortable.
