Enter to Win: Headphones from The Speaker Company

[captiankirk28]

I like the over the ear kind, they have always had better sound than the other kind IMO but would like to try a nice pair of the other to.

 

[pzaur]

In ear headphones are my first choice.

My ears get really hot from the over the ear styles!

I prefer over ear open for listening at home but will used closed at times.

I prefer in ear monitors for public places and portability because they seal out outside noises and are small and easy to carry around.

My Preference

Over the ear closed I feel like it gets me closer to the true sound I dont like to put anything in to the canal except for my pinky finger on occasion.

I love Over Ear Enclosed, they allow to shut of the rest of the world and go into my own little place where I can enjoy my music to the fullest

 

[JLMEMT]

I generally prefer and use in ear due to their convience.

That being said I have never taken the opportunity to listen to a very good set of over the ear style, so I could probably be convinced to change.

I have been thinking lately that a nice set would be a great option when the rest of the family is sleeping and I am not.

I love the sony mdr 7506.....

I have the MDR-V6 (with Beyer pads) and really love them.

I prefer In-ear noise cancelling b/c the only time I listen to earphones is when I am exercising and I can't fit over the ear when wearing a cycling helmet.

 

[Nemo128]

Over ear enclosed usually, but in ear for active stuff like working out.

Contest Question: What type of headphone do you prefer and why?

• In Ear
• In Ear Noise Cancelling
• Over Ear Open
• Over Ear Enclosed
• Over Ear Noise Cancelling
• Studio Monitor (over ear)

I currently prefer over ear open headphones due to their lightness and comfort , but I also use over ear enclosed at times of noise, although I'm developing a taste for in-ear phones when using my MP3 players.

I'm currently looking at a better set in-ear phones, though.

 

[sandtrap]

Over the ear open.

 

[jwenthold99]

Over the ear open, more comfortable.

For on the go though, in ear are the best, small, portable, and good sealing against outside noise.

 

[DaleAV]

It really depends on the 'application'. If the phones are particularly comfortable, I like over the ear closed. Noise-canceling is nice but I rarely listen in noisy environments.
When I travel I like in the ear for convenience in moving around if necessary.
I never use phones when operating 'machinery' so noise is not an issue when driving, etc. Noise-canceling is a nice upgrade but
nothing replaces comfort, audio quality being a very close 2nd.

I use in-ear Sennheiser CX500s. I liked the idea of passive noise isolation, vs. active noise cancellation, so the in-ear setup appealed to me. I like them quite a bit, but wouldn't mind trying something new as well!

 

[Coult_45]

I like over the ear open for long listening comfort. That is what I am used to but I would love to have any pair from the speaker company.

 

[jake5717]

I prefer in-ear noise canceling only because they are the most practical for me. They can be used at work, at home, in a plane, in the yard, or on a bike rides.

 

[sokrman14]

I prefer over the ear head phones because they typically seem to give the best bass response for a head phone. With out good bass most headphones sound too harsh or too bright.

 

[Shock]

Another USA biased thread.

It's always only aboot you flippin' yanks.

I prefer over the ear noise cancelling. I live in a house with three females and the noise(talking, phones) is endless. I also do alot of travelling and this would make my flights more enjoyable.
