Over The Ear Headphones Compared To Iems

I really don't like IEMs and on or over ear headphones get uncomfortable due to the heat/sweaty earcups etc. I was using pixel buds because I enjoy truly wireless headphones and then these were released. I daily drive these, for hours at a time, they're very comfortable and I am so happy with them. I hope this truly wireless ear-speaker style becomes really popular and we start getting lots of competition because this is by far my favorite style of headphones and I want it to never go away!

There are still more options with wired IEMs or headphones compared to TWS or Bluetooth headphones. Most wireless devices follow a V shaped sound signature. With more bass treated as an improvement. I like a more neutral sound signature as it works with wider range of uses, not just music that benefits from more bass. BTR15 lets me choose from a wider selection of options.

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 all these are really good, have flat frequency response and the base is much more noticeable compared to other headphones I've used, probably due to the great insulation. Most liked feature is the coiled cable its more compact, soft yet durable then any other I have used.

For the price of these headphones I was really surprised by the sound quality compared to the junky sound of every set of ear bud headphones I have acquired with the various MP3 players I've had over the years. Plus, when I pause a device to talk to someone for a while these won't pop out of my ears like all the ear bud sets do. An inexpensive choice for being more convenient and having better sound quality.

Very good sound isolation compared to all headphones I've previously owned. Managed to sleep through an entire transatlantic night flight while regular cabin noises (including a crying infant) were isolated with the aid of relaxing ambient music. Sound bleedthrough is not a problem with volumes at normal levels.It comes with a carrying case and additional ear tips.The wire loops around your ear, which takes some getting used to, but it doesn't bother me.Only downside I could think of, is that the bass could be little stronger.
