Best Open Over Ear Headphones

[6 oz / 170 g] These are my first open ear headphones. No more earbuds for me!

[7.5 x 2 x 0.1"] Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!

[USB-C] I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

[0.8 lb / 0.4 kg] Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

[2.5 Hours] I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

[36 Ohms] I recently got my hands on the AKG K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, rivaling my higher-priced Sennheiser headphones. The AKG K371 delivers clear, balanced audio, making it an excellent choice for both casual listening and studio work. The design of the headphones is another highlight. With a sleek and smooth aesthetic, they not only provide comfort for extended listening sessions but also add a touch of style. The build quality feels robust, ensuring these headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use. However, it's worth noting that the AKG K371 headphones do not offer significant sound isolation from external noise. While this may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it's an important consideration if you're planning to use them in noisy environments.

[Open-Ear] I love the open run mini!! I have never enjoyed wearing ear buds or headphones in or over my ears so these headphones are the best! They are so light that I forget I am wearing them and the sound is awesome. My husband purchased them too because he wanted to be "cool" too. He did not buy the mini though, his head is a bit larger so the open run fits him better.

[1] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These really through me for a loop! I say that because headphones, earbuds, wired or wireless are my, how do I say, my forte' These feel like an open air concert, similar to open air over the ear headphones of very, very high quality. There is so much to be said but, I will tell you the two best things about these truly wireless JBL SOUNDGEAR SENSE. The way JBL/Harmon engineerd these is completely new to me! Now remember I said headphones are my thing. Ive tried over 100 and kept about 30 pair in my entire collection. The SOUNDGEAR SENSE provide those exciting highs and lush sub bass notes in such a creative way. They are ready to the real world. There is a method to all of these amazing ideas. Its fascinating! These larger ear buds are all there. The comfort is all there. Especially for me, and you for all these reasons. You have the sound quality and fit as a great approach bordering on or actually being bone conducting buds! They dont sit over or in your ear, they transmit so beautifully. Its all there. Everything transmits wirelessly wirhout missing a beat. Thats the second reason. They are perfect for outside activities. Yes, fun in the sun mountain biking while listening to my favorite mix, without artificial ambiant control, its naturally a sweeter sound. Being that these are truly wireless, I can hear whats going on around me just enough to be safe! I can play all day with SOUNGEAR SENSE. The importance of knowing whats going on around you is no joke! So here we have both requests answered. Outstanding audio performance whilst allowing awareness of the surroundings. These never existed and I am honored to use and own them. They are that good! Remember, other people may hear your fav tracks too as the characteristics of the build. Yes, I absolutely love the concept, executed perfectly. I only wish I found them sooner.

[Stereo] I love these open ear headphones! They allow me to keep my situational awareness while still enjoying my music/audiobooks/podcasts.

[-40 dB] I am on my third set of Shokz open-ear headphones. I wear them all day, almost every day. I can hear my music and still hear family members talking to me, the door bell, the dogs wanting to come in, and so, so much more. I love my Shokz. I absolutely love, and depend, on my Shokz!
