Run With Over Ear Headphones

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.

I bought these on a DealZone. I never have had ear buds before nor owned any expensive headphones for when I run. They sound great and do the job. You charge up the case and the case charge the headphones when you put them away. It is so easy, and I have never had to recharge the case so far. I bought another pair as a backup.

I love these headphones. I have worn over the ear headphones for such a long time because my ears do not fit any type of pods and they always fall out. I am a distance runner and don't want to bother with my headphones when I am trying to focus on my run. I also run in the city which can be dangerous to have "around me" sound completely muted. The headphones do what I bought them for: they stay on during my run and don't bounce, they are loud enough for me to listen to music, but because they are not over my ear, I can hear my surroundings for safety. I also like the buttons on the headphones to pause my music, volume, skipping songs, etc. There is also a good 6 hours battery so that is always great as well. I would not recommend for mowing or doing something you want to drown out the sound, because these would not be it! Shout out to Ali on the Run Show who featured these on her podcast multiple times to convince me to finally buy them!

I’m very happy with my shokz open run headphones because I can wear them comfortably with over-the-ear hearing aids plus eyeglasses. Every other wired and wireless ear pods I’ve tried have failed to stay in place with my hearing aids or have been uncomfortable. These work great since they sit in front of my ears, not in them. If I want less ambient noise, I turn off the hearing aids (not a trick available to the hearing unimpaired :grin:). If you wear hearing aids, you’ll love these! The sound isn’t quite as clean and crisp as in-ear buds, but it’s very acceptable. I use them mostly for phone, podcasts, news, etc, and they’re fine for that. I can’t really evaluate them for music.

These headphones produce an amazing sound. it is quite different from your run-of-the-mill over-ear headphones and certainly different from any ear buds you've ever used. The sort of surround-sound effect that a lot of artists record with these days is amplified by the quality of these headphones. They are also very comfortable. the one thing I was most worried about in purchasing some new over-ear headphones was my ears getting too warm and uncomfortable, but I have yet to have that experience with these headphones. They do have quite a bit of plastic at a few of the joints, but they are very solidly built and most areas appear to be reinforced with some sort of metal. The cord is a bit heavy and does not detach, but is certainly long enough to move around any sort of studio without any trouble. I use them at my local college radio station and they are excellent! For the price, I don't think they can be beat.

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