Wired Over Ear Headphones For Listening To Podcasts

I purchased the headphones for listening to audio mixes and podcasts while on the go. The headphones sound is great and the over the ear feature makes them comfortable to wear for hours.

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 enjoy listening to podcasts while mowing my lawn. Before I got my OpenMove doing this meant earbuds to hear the podcast and covering those with the sound a reducing headset. The earbuds tended to fall out. Wired versions would be pinched against my ear making for an uncomfortable hour of mowing. Enter Aftershokz. This lightweight beauty replaced a bulky headset with a lightweight earplug. The mower sound was deadened and was much cooler since the ears were not covered anymore. Please use the supplied earplugs correctly by compressing, inserting fully into the ear canal and allowing them to expand again. Highest marks for this innovative listening solution.

Perfect for listening to TV, radio, podcasts, taking phone calls, etc. while working out. Also great for driving or riding a bicycle. Ambient noise, oncoming cars, sirens, can easily be heard as your ear canal is not blocked with an ear bud. Much more safe than a bud. If someone wants to talk with you you can quickly take off the headphones with one hand to engage in a conversation.

Great as Bluetooth headphones, over the ear wired headphones and noise cancelling.

Earlier this year I purchased a pair of AfterShokz bone conduction headphones. I enjoy listening to podcasts at work, but using earbuds presents problems. In some areas, I need to wear earplugs. In others, I want to be able to listen for traffic, alarms, or other important sounds. The bone conduction headphones turned out to be a great solution. They allow me to wear earplugs or to listen to my surroundings as needed while still listening to podcasts at a reasonable volume. And the battery lasts more than a full shift.

The Openmove headphones are great! I have hearing loss in one ear and these still make it possible to hear things going on around me and still hear my music or podcasts just fine. Most earbuds, I have to take out of my ear to hear anything. I took them out of the box and connected to my phone pretty quick. The one downside for me is that I wish these came in the mini version to fit smaller heads. Other than that, these are great!

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.
