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
You don't need expensive stuff. 15€ Lenovo Thinkplus X3 pro for outdoor sports and driving. 23€ Ugreen HiTune X6 earbuds for some nice portability and noise cancelation. 45€ Jabra Elite 45h at 50% discount rn, Great value! 45€ AKG K72 if the Jabra sale ended.
With on ear, you could go low budget with no trouble mine are 20 dollars and they are pretty okay, take In account im not an audiophile but to me my headphones are working fine to go home back at night and chill with a movie.
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 :)
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 🙄
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!
Very concise and helpful video - worth the less than 10 minute time investment. My trusty vintage Pro4-AA's have never let me down when at home but clearly are not portable. A long plane ride without my Bose noise cancelling over the ear but light weight headphones is a much longer ride indeed. The freedom to move anywhere in the house as well as outside is the important aspect of my great sounding, over the ear bluetooth HiFi Elite headphones from Modern Portable at an amazingly low price for the sound.
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 🤷.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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?
Sorry. We are not a Bose dealer. Some people are more sensitive the the heat that can build up in over ear headphones. The catch is to make them work they need to have a tight seal which causes heat build up in some people. A design with a larger cup might work better for you. Thanks for watching
I was thinking of getting a headphone. But, i already have an earbud and was thinking what if headphone wont be great as earbud since, earbuds give great sound for music and movies. There were no content in youtube which clearly explains what are the main differences between these and finally found a useful video which explained all my doubts and made me easy to choose. Great content and thanks for this great info with great detail on differences
@Emily i got a JBL LIVE 650BTNC headphones and i have to say, i'm quite disappointed since i cannot really find any big difference between earbud and headphone(even the BASS feels almost same other than you get the vibration on ear for headphone. What you hear is same and sometimes feels earbud is delivering a better sound).. and to add on to it, the JBL was the best mid range noise cancelling headphones and still you can get a proper cancellation once you put ur sound above 80. My earbud on the other hand delivers the same sound of JBL at 80 in just 40-50 range of volume. So, if you are going to spend money get a decent earbuds which does deliver good sound like Headphone.. The earbud im using in Sennheiser CX 275s. Its only 1/4th of the price of JBL and still delivers decent sound and much better separation on instruments and sounds....
@Emily Both have its advantages and disadvantages.. Earbuds are super portable and you can wear it anywhere and everywhere, on the other hand headphones you might be bit conscious to wear in public etc.. Then earbuds are light but might hurt the ear a bit inside.. but headphones you will have to remove time to time bcz it hurts your outer ears if the fit is not perfect.. Then headphones when you start wearing(for beginners), your neck will have a very discomforting pain(according to the weight of headphone) which will take few weeks to go and get used to that weight. Then headphones might have slightly better bass than earbuds on low volume, but on mid to high volume you might find earbuds sound better and clear.. But again from manufacturer to manufacturer it changes too.. Like Sony earbuds are different from JBL which is different from sennheiser.. each have its own characteristics on bass, mid and treble... So far i have only used few which is samsung, apple, sony, jbl and sennheiser.. All had its own ups and down except JBL and Sennheiser were exceptional. I was planning to buy an Soundcore model as my headphone, but then found the one i bought now(JBL 650BTNC) was a better model and bought this.. But, it has this JBL character of too much BASS on low volume and when you put it to high u dont find any diff between this and earbud.. So you will have to find the characteristics of Anker models you are going to buy and decide i guess.. All that said, i'm using a headphone daily(i know hypocrisy 😜) and love to hear music in low volumes which sounds better in headphone than earbud.. 1 reason i think im rooting for the earbud over headphone is due to the earbud im using and how good it sounds.. if i was using a normal entry level earbuds, i would have actually felt the headphone as a better one.. At the end have to tell a final thing.. i.e, people say headphones due to the bigger driver have a more accuracy to sound than an earbud which i too think is true.. but you really don't notice this unless you compare it multiple times.. Also, experts say, headphones can get better frequency than earbud. Yes it is, but now most good earbuds match the same frequency as good headphones.. So just see what are the frequencies that the models you have shortlisted supports. At-least 20hz to 20KHZ is considered good. If it goes beyond, better. (20khz)
@Emily btw in paper Anker Q30 looks good.. there are some good reviews for both models against best headphones and earbuds.. take a look before you buy
Never tried over ear before, thats why I’m here, but on ear headphones pinch my ears against the earpiece of my glasses really fast, that’s why I’m looking into over ear headphones ro see if they are better for this.
@@AudioAdvice good evening sir, iam just searching for a headphones which I want to use for all purposes like class, games , and music etc,tour ,..... Which type will u recommend me to buy on ear or over ear or in ear
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!
Many people think the Sony over the ear model is very comfortable, you should give those a try. www.audioadvice.com/headphones-portables/headphone-style/over-ear-headphones/sony-wh-1000xm5-wireless-noise-cancelling-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 🎧🎶🆗
I can’t stand over-ear headphones. I have small ears so they feel way too heavy and bulky to wear for long periods of time. I prefer on-ear headphones - they’re way more comfortable, feel lightweight, and the sound is still so good. Currently using the Skullcandy riff wireless 2. Skullcandy headphones are always amazing quality for a midrange/affordable price.
I miss behind the neck headphones like the Sony MDR G45. The only pair I could find that would stay perfectly still while head banging and could wear them for several hours with my glasses, comfortably. I can't stand ear pods. Seriously SONY I am begging for a wireless version of the MDR G45!!!

Many thanks for this useful episode. I am an amateur drummer using Yamaha DD-75, for me to have a wired headset - over the ear with complete noise cancellation - what would you suggest, kindly advise. I am seeking this option for regular practice in room.
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
Hi Francisco! For travel, here are three recommendations at three different price-points so if you are looking for the best headphone to travel with, these are the best for the money. 1.) Mark Levinson No5909 www.audioadvice.com/mark-levinson-5909-premium-high-resolution-wireless-anc-headphones 2.) B&W PX7 www.audioadvice.com/bowers-wilkins-px-7-carbon-wireless-over-ear-headphones 3.) Sony WH-1000XM4 www.audioadvice.com/sony-wh-1000xm4-wireless-noise-cancelling-headphones
Suggest you point to versions of each of the types so possible to to see and know what they are, I'm confused, your video shows Sony headphones when you talk about over ears etc. I know its be roll but you mess up your own points
How can you say that over ears are "in facts" the best headphones? Its like comparing Apples and pears. The high end in ears (with a good amplifier and proper flac) produces high quality hi fi sound. The only way to compare them is like comparing a world class fotball player and a world class 100m sprinter. Both are high end but in different areas. Over ears are good at one thing and in ears is good at another thing. They bring different qualties to the table.
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!
@@AudioAdviceThanks for getting back to me. Do you have anything similar that has decent sound quality for music, and not the uncomfortable in-ear types?
One thing about over ears when ut comes to people under 25 years of age. If its just for often for a very long period of time its going to have a effect on the shape of the of the head causing a little valley in the are where the headband is. This is very comon among gamers who been playing freqently for a couple of years. The younger you are the more "shapeable" is the head going to be, or rather i should say skull is going to be.
Hi. I ve got a question. First u need to know that i own AirPods pro and listened to the sennheiser pxc 550 quite a lot but dont own them. I was never into hifi Hardware i just love to listen to musik. I want to upgrade from my AirPods to something better sounding. Those sennheisers sounded great but i want more / i dont need Bluetooth, anc,... on overears. I just want to listen to musik. How much do i have to spend for a good (better than the pxc550) pair of headphones? Do i need an amplifier? What would u recommend? Thanks!
All depends on what type of headphone you're looking for. I know it's a vague answer but there are a lot of things to consider like your budget, type of music, etc. For amps, if you're getting hadphones at or under 150 ohms, the e10k fiio dac/amp is a good, cheap starter dac that'll be able to drive those headphones. It's what I have with my momentum 2.0s. I needed to grab a more powerful amp for some hd6xx I just ordered, though. Do tons of research but understand what the reviewer is looking for in their headphones because you'll get a lot of conflicting opinions on high/mid/lows, depending on the person. Hope that helps!
@@TheJbh147 thats a tough question. I listen to quite a lot of genres. So theres modern us hiphop, 90 rap, lota heavy metal and jazz, sometimes to the pop charts or techno. Nearly everything except country, classic and reggae lol
@@lol-vq8dh so based on the hiphop and techno, I would suggest making bass a priority. So any headphones that have underwhelming bass or are described as "cold, bright, flat, neutral, analytical, etc." You might want to think twice on. But like I said, keep in mind people have subjective listening experiences so people will give different descriptions for the same headphones, hence why I said make sure you do lots of research so you get a fuller picture of what those headphones might sound like. What's your budget looking like and what exactly are you trying to get out of your headphones? I might be able to point you towards certain products if you want a headstart on research haha
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
Same, I don't really need it but I want it situation.

We would have to say over ear.
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
On ear have a different feel and may bother you after long listening sessions. We'd recommend you give them a try before buying if you are able to.
@@AudioAdvice does the sound quality of on ear is very far from the over ear or just a little different?
Over ear will provide a little more sound isolation
Nice explanation
Thank you for watching!
A great video!
Glad you liked it!
Hello! Great content, which headphone would you recommend for traveling?
Hi Francisco! For travel, here are three recommendations at three different price-points so if you are looking for the best headphone to travel with, these are the best for the money. 1.) Mark Levinson No5909 www.audioadvice.com/mark-levinson-5909-premium-high-resolution-wireless-anc-headphones 2.) B&W PX7 www.audioadvice.com/bowers-wilkins-px-7-carbon-wireless-over-ear-headphones 3.) Sony WH-1000XM4 www.audioadvice.com/sony-wh-1000xm4-wireless-noise-cancelling-headphones
how about half / semi in-ear? how does that compare to in-ear?
What would that be? Its either in the ear or not? We do not know of anything like that. Thanks for watching
Discuss ear health effects
Spencer Nolan Rice? It's spencer from Kenny vs Spenny!
Suggest you point to versions of each of the types so possible to to see and know what they are, I'm confused, your video shows Sony headphones when you talk about over ears etc. I know its be roll but you mess up your own points
How can you say that over ears are "in facts" the best headphones? Its like comparing Apples and pears.
The high end in ears (with a good amplifier and proper flac) produces high quality hi fi sound. The only way to compare them is like comparing a world class fotball player and a world class 100m sprinter. Both are high end but in different areas.
Over ears are good at one thing and in ears is good at another thing. They bring different qualties to the table.
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!
We are not familiar with those, sorry.
@@AudioAdviceThanks for getting back to me. Do you have anything similar that has decent sound quality for music, and not the uncomfortable in-ear types?
Which are the most comfortable for driving?
We would not recommend any headphones for driving
Good, helpful, video.
Glad it was helpful!
One thing about over ears when ut comes to people under 25 years of age. If its just for often for a very long period of time its going to have a effect on the shape of the of the head causing a little valley in the are where the headband is. This is very comon among gamers who been playing freqently for a couple of years. The younger you are the more "shapeable" is the head going to be, or rather i should say skull is going to be.
Interesting. Better have speakers uptil teenage years then go for over ear
Cant wait for over-the-head phones.
Come on its 2023 already!
Haha
In ear give me massive headaches and I feel over ear has better noise cancellation
Thanks for sharing. Everyone seems to be different on these

Very knowledge but i need to hear my voice when i am talking or singing in a mic etc
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
Which one would you prefer for normal daily use cases on ear/ over ear and in ear. Please pick my question ❤️
The video was about how to choose which style
on ear or in ear.
Over the ears for life and for good sounding although yes I search that earbud are loud but will beat the headphone? Nope
Thanks for watching!
Bought 160 watt portable party speaker thak you

If you sweat a lot on the ear headphones can be very annoying.
Totally true
Is on ear good for the gym?
I prefer in ear for the gym, since the sweat + weight can be annoying
@@kaanb5949 oh thanks bro i have bought both of em and returned the over ear in ear is the best for gym..

@@AudioAdvice oh my god sorry bro
Which type makes u look more attractive
Haha! Thanks for watching
Over ears probably do the opposite. It kinda depends on the headphone itself ngl
Hi. I ve got a question. First u need to know that i own AirPods pro and listened to the sennheiser pxc 550 quite a lot but dont own them. I was never into hifi Hardware i just love to listen to musik. I want to upgrade from my AirPods to something better sounding. Those sennheisers sounded great but i want more / i dont need Bluetooth, anc,... on overears. I just want to listen to musik. How much do i have to spend for a good (better than the pxc550) pair of headphones? Do i need an amplifier? What would u recommend?
Thanks!
All depends on what type of headphone you're looking for. I know it's a vague answer but there are a lot of things to consider like your budget, type of music, etc.
For amps, if you're getting hadphones at or under 150 ohms, the e10k fiio dac/amp is a good, cheap starter dac that'll be able to drive those headphones. It's what I have with my momentum 2.0s. I needed to grab a more powerful amp for some hd6xx I just ordered, though.
Do tons of research but understand what the reviewer is looking for in their headphones because you'll get a lot of conflicting opinions on high/mid/lows, depending on the person. Hope that helps!
@@TheJbh147 yeah. Thank you!
@@lol-vq8dh what type of music are you trying to listen to, out of curiousity?
@@TheJbh147 thats a tough question. I listen to quite a lot of genres. So theres modern us hiphop, 90 rap, lota heavy metal and jazz, sometimes to the pop charts or techno. Nearly everything except country, classic and reggae lol
@@lol-vq8dh so based on the hiphop and techno, I would suggest making bass a priority. So any headphones that have underwhelming bass or are described as "cold, bright, flat, neutral, analytical, etc." You might want to think twice on. But like I said, keep in mind people have subjective listening experiences so people will give different descriptions for the same headphones, hence why I said make sure you do lots of research so you get a fuller picture of what those headphones might sound like.
What's your budget looking like and what exactly are you trying to get out of your headphones? I might be able to point you towards certain products if you want a headstart on research haha
over the ear>
