Are over-ear headphones healthier?
Over-ear headphones are not necessarily any more or less healthier for your ears than other headphone styles. The ear cups sit around your outer ears rather than pressing directly on them like on-ear headphones. This can prevent air pressure buildup in the ear canal which can potentially lead to hearing issues over time with on-ear and in-ear headphone use at high volumes. Over-ear headphones also allow you to listen at lower volumes while still getting good audio isolation from outside noise.
What sounds better, in-ear or over-ear headphones?
Over-ear headphones generally offer superior sound quality due to their larger drivers and better isolation, which minimizes ambient noise and allows for a more immersive listening experience.
How good are these headphones for mixing audio?
Most consumer-oriented headphones aren’t ideal for serious audio work. For the best results, use a pair of studio headphones that feature a flat frequency response for accurate sound reproduction.
Ive really been wanting to get a pair but im not sure whats best.
Ideally I'd like somethig padded or adjustable, I wear glasses and I find that sometimes headphones can make my glasses did into my head. Also something with a long battery life and decent sound quality.
My Birthday is coming up this November and I wanted to spoil myself but I can't seem to find the best pair of all around wireless Bluetooth headphones for about 700-800$ I saw the px8 but idk if I should go for them what would u all recommend for the best sound quality
Edit: willing to go up in price if it's worth it
You will get different answers depending on what you want.
For example, some people will like the Hifiman Ananda BT for the soundstage (due to being open back). Others will like the Focal Bathys for the full package (with ANC), both which have budgets that are well above most Bluetooth headphones. On the cheaper side, some people just get a LDAC headphone with great ANC (like Sony WH-1000XM4) and just use EQ. Some people prioritize the tuning, getting something like the Momentum 3 Wireless.
There is no perfect option so if that's what you are looking for, it doesn't exist. Keep in mind that durability is a factor. The battery, electronic tech and cheaper materials affect durability. They also have less sound quality compared to wired options as Bluetooth is usually for convenience/features. I'm not saying this to discourage you, just to inform.
