Dome-shaped

This is the normal/usual frets you see in many guitars. Take note of the fret ends.
This is another type of frets with a dome-shaped fret ends. I'm sure anyone can guess what guitar it is in the picture below just by seeing the inlay there.
It does nothing to your tone, sustain or anything you can list down. However, it does prevent you from getting cut by the frets while sliding down the neck as you play. A guitar with good quality control may not have sharp fret ends actually but these frets serve as a confirmation that the fret-job is done much thoroughly.
