Over-Ear Headphones

Over-ear Headphones

There’s no simple answer as to which is “best” between over-ear or in ear headphones – it’s ultimately down to your personal preference. However, experts generally agree that over-ear headphones are healthier for ears for a number of reasons. The sound has room to reverberate, rather than being broadcast directly into the ear canal, which is better for long-term ear health. Also, over-ear headphones have physical padding to block out external noise, which means you’ll be less tempted to jam up that volume button. Many are designed with long-term comfort in mind, with cushioned earpads and adjustable headbands to make marathon listening sessions easy and enjoyable.

Over-ear headphones allow you to fully immerse yourself in your audio. Whether you’re mixing music, editing video, enjoying a marathon gaming session or just chilling with a podcast, you’ll find over-ear headphones offer the best means of banishing distractions so you can focus. Hear every frequency of your audio in pin-sharp quality – exactly the way it was meant to be heard.
