AROUND-EAR HEADPHONES

Around-ear headphones

Around ear headphones sit around the ears and common to this type of headphones is that they are quite large physically, which means that there is room to pack large speaker units down in them so that the sound can be rich and rich. The sound in around and on-ear headphones is often more powerful than on smaller models like in-ear or neckband headphones.

There are both wireless and wired versions of around and on-ear headphones, so it is a fairly broad product group. Often you see the same product both as a wireless and a wired version, where the wired is always a bit cheaper, as there is less technology behind. All wired around and on-ear headphones use a jack to connect to your player. The most widely used jack connector is the 3.5 mm size we know from smartphones, tablets and so on.

Around-ear and on-ear headphones are available in a variety of price ranges, down from a few hundred bucks to the Millennium class. When talking high-end headphones, we usually only find around-ear models in this segment. As they sit around their ears, they close completely, allowing them to reproduce the sound as accurately as possible. Whatever you are for around or over-ear models, we have a great selection.

Around-ear headphones, as the name sounds, are headphones that sit around the ears. If you add the wireless aspect to it, then we have wireless around-ear headphones. Like other wireless headphones, they also use the Bluetooth standard, which means they can easily be connected to the playback device you want, whether it be a smartphone, tablet or something else.

Compared to many other headphones, around-ear models are quite large physically, which also means there is room for larger speaker units in the earbuds. Therefore, wireless around-ear headphones also often sound more compelling and have better bass than many other models. Another plus of being physically larger, such as a pair of in-ear headphones, is that the battery life is also a bit higher as there is room for larger batteries. Therefore, it is not unusual for a pair of wireless around-ear headphones to have a battery life of 20-30 hours or more. On some models, you can also download an application that allows you to change advanced settings on your wireless around-ear headphones.

Wireless around-ear headphones often have the option of connecting with an included cable if, for example, the battery is flat. A carry bag is also a piece of accessory that is often included in the box when investing in a set of wireless aorund-ear headphones. That way, they are protected during transport when you are not using them.
