Over Ear Headphones Vs Earphones

Wanted quality sound without earphones/headphones. I was impressed with the quality of the sound, for me just as good as my earphones without the ear discomfort. Light enough that I forget it is there unless I am leaning back against a chair back. Bluetooth is good enough for use throughout my house without carrying my iPhone. Initially bought so I could hear my radar detector when driving on long trips but haven’t tried this yet.

These were my first pair of in-ear headphones. I'm bought these to replace some generic earphones that I use for my portable entertainment devices. The sound isolation is good, and I can focus on listening to my music or watch a TV show/movie without feeling like the ambient noise around me is drowning out what I'm trying to listen to. The sound quality is good overall, but the higher frequencies don't seem quite as clear as I'd like, and the base can be a little overpowering. However, these problems were mostly solved by using the base reduction equalizer preset on my music devices. The cable seems very durable, and these seem to be overall well-made earphones. One thing that I was slightly disappointed with is that they did not come with triple-flanged ear tips. The ear tips that come with these headphones are okay, but I got Shure's triple-flanged ear tips, and those work much better.

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.

Over the ear work great for me. Sounds great also. No complaints.

Great sound.. secure in ear and has great features on earphones for convenience.

Theses are my favorite earphones. The rubber area that touches your ear brings comfort compared to ordinary hard plastic. These are a unique make and model. I really hope they don't discontinue them. Please.. keep making them !. If you chose to improve these earphones, just add a bit more rubber so the contact surface with your ear increases. Personally I like these earphones over any earphones that go inside your ear canal. This old style type allows you to hear dim noises around your environment if placed in a certain angle in your ear. Hence you can be alert of your surroundings as well as listening. I have bought several pairs of these through years of heavy use and even to give to family members. Keep up the good work JVC.. !
