In-Ear vs. On-Ear vs. Over-Ear Headphones - Which should you buy?

bruh i hope u changed ur hairstyle

Which is more comfortable for long usage?

Is on ear headphone really bad?they say it would be uncomfortable bc im choosing between on ear and over ear but over ear is very expensive so i consider which i want to buy

I'm student studying 6-7 hours so which one would be I prefer

Bought 160 watt portable party speaker thak you

Great video!
The optimal choice really is very person specific based on ear/headshape and use cases.
I like good quality mids and crisp highs.

In-ear ones have low battery life/very fragile cables does not last long and cost way too much imho for the quality you get.
On-ears are much more comfortable and much longer use for wireless but suffer from the cheap plastic used, have to break just outside the warranty time design. I think this category would be the best overall use wise for me. (walking outside/listening to audiobooks, music, movies at home)
Trying to find one with decent quality, battery life and does not instantly break in half as I look at it design at a reasonable price.
Over-ears are way bulky/tend to be heavy/making sweaty ears have best quality but at high pricetags.

Cant wait for over-the-head phones.

Come on its 2023 already!

On ear are the worst for me

Over the ears for life and for good sounding although yes I search that earbud are loud but will beat the headphone? Nope

I love over ear headphones but its really not for the walk or gym. Espacially summer its burning. At home its perfect. Looking good in ear headphone. Thanks for informations.

Thank you 🙏

Bought a pair of on-ear headphones for the gym. In-ear always fall out my ears.

Personally I think in ears the most comfortable. As long as you get silicone/rubber/foam tips I have never had any problems, listening for hours on end.
I find on ear headphones press down on my ears too much and can't wear them for much over an hour without my ears going sore and red.
And over the ears are more comfortable but the ones I've used have been quite heavy and the pressure from the band makes the top of my head hurt.

But it's all personal preference. Maybe I just haven't used very good on ear/over ear headphones. But I have used many cheap in ears and as long as they have a soft tip they have never caused me any pain

Very knowledge but i need to hear my voice when i am talking or singing in a mic etc

which of these category is best if we want least sound from the surrouding and least leakage ?

Which are the most comfortable for driving?

I've always had this issue with headphones that go over my ear, the noise canceler ones, but I feel suction in my ears! The pair my nephew bought me cause discomfort and so did the ones I had on during my MRI. I've always had this issue. I mean, what's the problem that causes? Is this just a mental issue, or what? I wanna get over this so I can wear noise canceling headphones! SERIOUSLY!

Thanks, that was very helpful!

Spencer Nolan Rice? It's spencer from Kenny vs Spenny!

over the ear>

you didnt show any on-ears wtf

Does anyone knonw of any headphones like the "Monster iSport Strive."
Monster stop making these and I can't find any more. I'm not a fan of the in-ear types, they feel uncomfortable.
Thanks!

how about half / semi in-ear? how does that compare to in-ear?

I find on ear headphones very uncomfortabale

Best combo-
TWS/Earphones + Over the ear headphones

Which one would you prefer for normal daily use cases on ear/ over ear and in ear. Please pick my question ❤️

I have to say as someone who has around 8 ear piercing - On-ear headphones are not comfortable to me even for a short time wear.. it hurts as it presses down on the earrings as well on the ear itself.
I wanted to mention this because I didn't see any reviewer mention this (haven't encounter one that have ear piercings).
The In-ear are my go to when going out, Over-ear are perfect for working on my computer/studying :)

Man, your intro audio design was really good. Appreciate that!

As an audiophile, these are great points to consider when you're in a dilemma. Right now, my greatest dilemma is me being an audiophile while being a vocalist on stage as well. While we do use a different iem on stage, there's a part of me that wants to keep using it outside of stage, or maybe it's just because I use it for a short amount of time. I do have a personal over ear headphones, but I feel like I'm missing out with the new over ear headphones as well from sennheiser. While my old one is still reliable, I have this urge to get a new one after using it for 5yrs now.

So yeah, this gives me an overview of my dilemma and might go buying both style for me since I think it's a benefit for my part in having both. Though I think I'll go first with the iems in my part.

Thanks a lot for this!

Me wanting to hear some super strong bass while training in gym
🥲
Someone gotta invent an in-over ear headphones

When listening to music or playing games i use over-ear headphones. if your music lover and want to experience every small detail of the music and block the noise of your surrounding then over-ear headphones are perfect for you.

I despise in-ear & on-ear design. You wear inside your ears and can be downright painful. Not to mention playing music so close to your eardrums can damage the cells in the ear. And when the damage is done, inner ear damage never heals.
Always choose 🎧🎶🆗

very informative ...thanks for the video.

Hi two years ago I bought Bose QuiteComfort noise cancelling headphones. I love them but after 30 minutes my ears are "burning" from the warmth. Any solution? Other types of ear pad?

Hello! Great content, which headphone would you recommend for traveling?

I actually can't do in ear earphones, it's not just a mild discomfort, it causes wax buildup in my ears which causes my hearing to go, plus most times they won't fit in my ears!

This is such wonderful information! I'm looking to buy new headphones pretty soon, and I'm seriously leaning towards the over the ear headphones. Up until this point all I've been getting was basically cheap dollar store ON THE EAR ones that only last for so long & are not comfortable over time 😞.

Not to mention I wear glasses too. Though I'll never be able to blow $300+ on a pair of the more expensive brand headphones I did get an Amazon gift card for Christmas... So at the very least I can get a good decent pair of budget over ear headphones 🤷.

Best headphone type comparison I've found after months of searching ! Great, solid facts !

I have all 3

But I mostly wear my beats over the ear headphones

IEMs are best for me because I wear glasses and the clamp of over hears feels a little bit uncomfortable

ty

I've had all three of these and when listening to music I loved the in ear ones. I just find music a very personal thing so when someone else hears what I'm listening to I just don't feel comfortable. These headphones make it sound like music is playing inside my head and I just feel safe and immersed.

Edit: Oh come on 🙄

Only with over ear, you won't get head or ear pain even with extended hours of usage

Great job man! You rock..

If you sweat a lot on the ear headphones can be very annoying.

Great Work! with on ear headphones is sometimes the bracket too tight and it can hurt with prolonged use and large ears. have i made experience with, then you always have to move them. but over ear headphones are not for me, because i want to hear the environment already something. in case of emergency or it burns (smoke detector) or someone rings the doorbell. since i rather take the tweak of the on ear headphones and find myself with it.

nothing but thankyou

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!

I never thought I'd be convinced to own three different types of headphones... Not that I can currently afford that, but hey, it definitely sounds appealing aha
