Over-Ear Headphones buying guide

Why choose over-ear headphones?

Over-ear headphones sit around your ears, giving a large, immersive sound and comfort for hours of listening. They suit home listening, studio work and travel.

How to choose

  • Open or closed-back – closed-back isolates you from noise; open-back sounds more spacious.
  • Wired or wireless – wired for the best sound; wireless for freedom on the move.
  • Comfort – check weight and earpad material if you listen for long periods.

Over-Ear Headphones – frequently asked questions

Over-ear or on-ear headphones?

Over-ear headphones surround your ears for more comfort and isolation. On-ear models are smaller and lighter.

Do I need a headphone amplifier?

Most over-ear headphones work well with a phone. High-impedance models benefit from a headphone amp.

Are closed-back headphones good for travel?

Yes. They block more outside noise and leak less sound.

Can I try headphones before I buy?

Yes. Visit our Nottingham showroom or call us on 0115 975 8613.
