Over Ear Bone Headphones

These are my first pair of bone conduction headphones and they are amazing. The sound is great and sound even better when you put ear plugs in. I work in a very loud building using power tools all day and need to wear ear plugs. So the fact that I can wear foam ear plugs and still listen to music is life changing.

First, I have had the Aftershokz bone conduction headphones for more than 5 years, and I will never go back to "in ear" headphones. The listening experience is great and you can add earplugs if you need to. This year I had a very unusual medical condition take most of the hearing in my left ear. I don't even hear with the bone conduction. So I ordered the Openfit because the earpieces work independently and nothing goes in my ear. I am really happy with these - I mostly just wear my right earpiece and it sounds great, sits comfortably ON my ear, and allows me to remain connected to the world around me. Because it is so light, I hardly know it's there and it doesn't bother my glasses. I can listen to books, music, podcasts - they are already the perfect compliment to my bone conduction set, which I intend to keep using as well. The Openfit are so flat that laying down with them on is a treat. Audiobook at bedtime? Yes please!

While I find it a tiny bit harder to hear my surroundings than I do with my bone conducting headphones, these are my new go-to headphones because 1) They are the only headphones i have ever worn with my glasses on that do not cause any discomfort -- even after wearing for hours 2) They have great sound (allows me to use them instead of my Beats Solo) 3) They allow me to hear my surroundings 4) They are super light and allow airflow to my ears keeping them dry 5) The charging case is very convenient and keeps them protected 6) They stay on! It took a minute to get used to the light touch of the speaker on my ear (like an out of place hair), but now I don't even notice it. My headphone experience includes a variety of ear buds, over ear headphones, powerbeats, beats Solo, aeropex bone conduction headphones.

The SHOKZ OpenSwim Open-Ear MP3 Player Swimming Headphones are superb. The bone conduction works incredibly under water. And the fidelity is seamless, clear, and precise. Love these for workouts and swimming laps. Shokz is a great company.

I have complete bone conduction hearing loss in my right ear due to an injury and with these headphones I can hear perfectly in that ear. With regular headphones I can not hear the output in my right ear so it’s one sided. With Shokz I get sound in both ears. I love these so much!

I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!

I recently got my hands on the AKG K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, rivaling my higher-priced Sennheiser headphones. The AKG K371 delivers clear, balanced audio, making it an excellent choice for both casual listening and studio work. The design of the headphones is another highlight. With a sleek and smooth aesthetic, they not only provide comfort for extended listening sessions but also add a touch of style. The build quality feels robust, ensuring these headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use. However, it's worth noting that the AKG K371 headphones do not offer significant sound isolation from external noise. While this may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it's an important consideration if you're planning to use them in noisy environments.
