Contest Question: What type of headphone do you prefer and why?
I prefer Over Ear Enclosed . They attenuate noise both incoming and out going which my wife also appreciates. The other reason is over the ear is what I grew up with so I'm just more used to them.

That being said I would like a pair of nice in ears.

I also lke over ear as that's what I'm used to, but would like to win the in-ear for use with a portable music player...

for extended listening where I will not bother anyone nearby, I prefer "over the ear - open". The are extremely comfortable for long period wearing and usually light weight and "airy" feeling.

In the office, I prefer "over the ear - closed" so I will not interupt my co-workers. Again, the "over the ear" style is much more comfortable and wearable for long listening sessions, transferring the pressure of the headphones to the skull bone instead of compressing and pushing directly on the ear.

Over ear open for regular listening-best sound.


In ear for sports.

Over the ear ENCLOSED for in home listening. In-Ear for running or sports.

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

I prefer noise canceling over the ear headphones because I live at home with my parents because of rough times. These would enable me to have a excuse not to hear them!!! LORD HELP ME!!! I won't have them telling to turn my HT down

Over Ear Open - For extended listening because of the feeling of space and the comfort.

In Ear- for travel and high noise situations.

I prefer over ear open headphones. I do not find in ear heaphones very comfortable, and over ear closed headphones get too hot for extended listening. Over ear open headphones, IMO, provide the best combination of sound quality and comfort. I own a few different pairs of headphones, and I use my Sennheiser HD 485 the most.

Contest Question: What type of headphone do you prefer and why?
That's a tough one, but I'm going to have to say over the ear phones - because of long-term comfort (in ear for prolonged periods make me develop headaches). I also have become more and more in-tune with noticing little nuances in the tonal clarity of my music, games, movies, etc. A good pair of over the ear phones make everything seem so much more clear. Thanks for the contest!

I prefer over the ear enclosed headphones for sound isolation and because I dont like headphones stuck up my ear canal.

 

[supervij]

I prefer over the ear headphones cos I always feel like those darn earbuds are gonna fall out. And I like the feeling of having a huge speaker strapped to each of my ears!

cheers,
supervij

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

The answer depends on the listening environment and what I'm doing. In-ear when I'm listening while doing something active. Over ear-open when I'm sitting still. I still have an ancient headphone circa 1978 that's over-ear enclosed. Nice sound, but sweaty if I wear them too long!

• Over Ear Noise Cancelling

In Ear: I find over- or around the ear headphones a bit uncomfortable. In-ear headphones are light, unobtrusive, easy to carry around and don't hurt my ears.

All listed types have their benefits but my preferences are:
In Ear Noise Cancelling for mobile use
and
Over Ear Enclosed for at home use

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

My choice is: In Ear Noise Cancelling. I wear glasses, and over the ear designs tend to put force on the ear pieces that makes the glasses uncomfortable to have on. So, I like in-ear headphones the best. Noise cancelling is a nice addition.

 

[TheFactor]

My honest answer is what ever you have more of so I have a better chance of winning actually either one would work great for me . But I would prefer the over the ear noise canceling ones for plane travel or just relaxing and there more comfortable for me .

 

[mudrummer99]

I prefer studio monitor for comfort reasons. When I use headphones for a long period of time, I usually am sitting at my computer. I do also use in ears as well, but mainly for travel due to portability.

 

[heroesunplugged]

Type of Headphones

Over the ear enclosed. More comfortable and usually better bass reproduction.

 

[Alex2507]

I think I would prefer 'Over Ear Enclosed' the most. I haven't tried all the different kinds but I see noise canceling as just something else to beak or not work right. I don't want anything in me. Thanks for asking. I like the whole I can't hear you, you can't hear me thing.
