They smoothen the top end a little. I believe they also provide better shielding.

I've heard other people say that Tim compensates for a cover when winding and so his pickups sound the same with or without a cover.

Tims recent response re: OPEN Coils v Covers with regards a question on Rebel Yell's

Open coils are slightly brighter with more presence whereas covered
humbuckers are warmer in the bass and highs.

I know your new, but have a look around before posting new topics. This has been discussed loads, there are already a few topics discussing this on the first 2 pages.
