Enter to Win: Headphones from The Speaker Company

[talannar]

I prefer in-ear when I am listening to my Ipod because they are not very obvious. I don't currently use earphones for anything else.

 

[swspiers]

Over ear enclosed. I can play at a volume I like without disturbing the Mrs...

 

[Nomo]

Over the ear for me too. I prefer to shut out the outside noises and not disturb any one else at night. I've never tried the noise cancelling style.
This comes at a good time, I'll be looking for a new pair to replace my Sony's some time this year.

What type of headphone do I prefer?
An over-the-ear, noise-cancelling set is surely the best, both for comfort and practical use.

headphones

I prefer in ear headphones over all the other types listed. Primarily I'm listening to music on my mp3 player (not an ipod) and I often am listening while on the go or while working around the house---over the ear or on ear 'phones would just be in the way or too bulky. Right now I'm enjoying my shure e2c which aren't active noise-canceling but they fit so deep in my ear-canal that they block out almost everything, including my running lawnmower. I have used noise-canceling headphones and just didn't like the way they tweaked things so I steer clear of those now, however I do have a bluetooth set of on-ear headphones that I use to listen to baseball games or random shows if my wife and son are sleeping and I am going to up and about---close to 100 foot range is a big plus, but the sound is not as good as my shures.

 

[DTS]

I like Over Ear Open, or an in ear for smaller...buds never seem to fit.

 

[kidintraffic]

I prefer an in ear headphone because if I am using headphones, I'm usually working out or doing some sort of activity that requires a lightweight headphone.

 

[Haoleb]

I personally prefer over the ear closed since they are extremely comfortable, and offer alot of noise isolation and dont give you the ear fatigue that i have felt with in ear types.

 

[taxlawmax]

I prefer over-ear closed without noise cancellation.

 

[Shintsu]

I personally prefer over ear closed. I don't like the pressure created by noise cancelling and while I can use in-ear headphones I like the comfort and how encompassing over ear closed headphones are.

That said, I really do need some good headphones. These cheesy iPhone buds just don't cut it...

 

[strube]

I prefer in ear because with a good fit, it blocks all superfluous external noise and allows me to enjoy my music without any interference. I am also able to listen at lower volumes because of this, which is a great thing for my precious hearing. Additionally, my ears are huge, so I have never found a comfortable over-ear headphone.

 

[Josuah]

Studio monitor headphones because they're most likely to provide accurate sound reproduction, and are over-ear to block out external noise.

 

[Biggiesized]

I prefer over the ear open headphones because it provides the best sound IMO. If you're in a noisy environment, closed headphones would be my second choice.

 

[blacksnake]

Over Ear Enclosed

I prefer Over Ear Enclosed, for a more immersing experience

 

[slowlybuilt]

Haven't tried them all...yet.

I've only tried over the ear enclosed, over the ear open, and lower priced ear buds that don't actually go into the ear canal. Of those three I prefer over the ear enclosed for listening in general, and ear buds for when I'm working out at the gym. That said I would like to try in ear some day and would also like to own a nice set of over the ear enclosed for walking/train/plane and general listening. To bad haven't gotten a raise in 4 years.

Headphones or Earbuds

I prefer noise cancelling or noise isolating in the ear phones because of their portability.

 

[jhanley]

My preference would be "In Ear Noise Canceling".
I wear eye glasses and have never found a pair of over the ear head phones that were comfortable. Also the noise canceling works to keep home distractions at bay.
