Great topic. On the spectral subtraction side, most of the practical gains come from how you handle the over-subtraction factor and spectral floor rather than the algorithm itself. The classic approach (Boersma / spectral subtraction with Wiener post-filtering) is still extremely relevant for competitive play specifically because it’s near-zero-latency and runs comfortably on CPU. The key pain point is musical noise—the random tonal artifacts that show up when your noise estimate drifts during quiet passages. You suppress that by using a smoothed noise profile with adaptive tracking (catch the minimum statistics during silence windows) and applying a spectral floor around -20 to -25 dB so you’re not amplifying the residual noise floor. If you’re building a real-time pipeline, stick with a 20-32ms STFT window; going shorter kills low-end fidelity on voice, longer adds latency you don’t want in ranked comms.

The core difference comes down to acoustic loading, not just “open vs closed.” With open-back designs, the driver’s rear radiation escapes through the ear cup, which eliminates the enclosure resonances and standing waves that plague sealed cans.
