Over-Ear Headphones

Over-ear headphones have earcups that fit around your ear and are connected by a headband. They can be wired or wireless and can be ultra-premium reference quality headphones or basic commuter-style headphones.

This depends on your preference—based on comfort, style, and use case. If you are looking for headphones that you can wear while you are working out or on the go, you may want to consider earbuds. They are small and unobtrusive, more portable, and water resistant. But some people do not like the way they feel in the ear. In that case, over-ear headphones may work better for you. They are larger and not always water resistant, but wireless over-ear headphones tend to have much longer battery life per charge than wireless earbuds. They are perfect to use for work—either at home or at the office—or while sitting at your favorite cafe.

Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) reduces unwanted background noise. Microphones on the outside and inside of the earbuds measure the noise reaching the ear, then send the measurements to an algorithm that immediately creates an opposite signal to cancel the noise. All this means you can tune out unwanted outside noise and enjoy your favourite music to the fullest—without interruptions. It helps tune out the world around you so you can focus on work or your favorite album. It makes travel by plane less stressful, so you can arrive at your destination feeling ready to go. Our lives are so noisy these days that it is great to have a tool that lets us block out the noise and focus on what we want to hear.
