Over-ear & On-ear Headphones

OVER-EAR HEADPHONES – FIND THEM AT RUNNINGXPERT

At RunningXpert, you can freely choose between different headphone variants. Over-ear headphones are one of our types, and we have various options within this category. Over-ear headphones can differ on various parameters. Their common feature is, as the name suggests, they sit over the ears and enclose them. 
At RunningXpert, we have over-ear headphones from different manufacturers, in various price ranges and designs. With a pair of over-ear headphones, your ears are fully enclosed. The soft ear cushions envelop the entire ear, ensuring comfort and sound quality.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OVER-EAR HEADPHONES AND OTHER VERSIONS?

RunningXpert has an accessories category, which includes headphones. This category has four subcategories, each covering a different type of headphone. Each type has its pros and cons and can be chosen based on needs and situations. 
Over-ear headphones: Over-ear headphones resemble on-ear in appearance. The main difference is the size of the ear cushions. Over-ear headphones typically have larger, more enveloping cushions. The ear is fully surrounded and held securely by a band over the head.

On-ear headphones:

A pair of on-ear headphones can have comfortable, soft cushions, but they only sit on the ear and do not enclose it as over-ear headphones do.

In-ear headphones:

Our in-ear subcategory contains headphones that are inserted into the ear canal. They are compact but may be perceived as less comfortable over time. Available with or without cords.

Open-ear headphones:

This type has a band around the neck and earpieces that rest near the ear canal without entering it. The ear design is open, and our OpenRun Pro, available in various colors, uses the latest bone conduction technology for a unique listening experience.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF OVER-EAR HEADPHONES

Like much other running gear, the preferred headphones are subjective. Different situations may require specific headphones. We sell headphones for running, but most likely use them in various contexts. Whether for running, sports, enjoying a movie on a train, work, cycling with an audiobook, or finding peace in the library.

Our headphones each offer benefits for different situations, and they can also have weak points in certain scenarios. Over-ear headphones tend to isolate you and block out sound. Deep focus or exclusion of ambient noise.

If you're running and need traffic awareness, you might feel too isolated with over-ear noise-canceling headphones. Conversely, in a library, you might want to block all ambient noise and wouldn't feel too enclosed in your sound bubble. Pros and cons can be found in each context.

Find the most optimal for your primary purpose. You know best. We hope you find the right product among our selection, guides, tests, and inspirational articles. Whether it's over-ear headphones or another type from our subcategories.
