Over-Ear Headphones

The Best Over-Ear Headphones

If you're looking for superior comfort and sound quality, look to our over-ear headphones. Enjoy enhanced comfort while listening to music, movies, podcasts, and more thanks to large earpads that fit around the entire ear. Over-ear headphones are noise cancelling simply by their shape, known as passive noise cancellation, but there are also options with designated noise-blocking technology, known as Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). By literally surrounding the entire ear, these headphones create a more immersive listening experience. Abt carries options from the best over-ear headphones brands including Beats by Dre, Bose, Sony, and many more. What you lose in portability you gain in comfort and noise cancellation, a worthy tradeoff for those who wear their headphones for hours at a time. Even so, many headphones still feature a folding design so they can be folded up and placed in a carrying case that fits in a backpack, purse, or briefcase. The addition of Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cords and cables that are messy and inconvenient. These headphones can easily switch between your other Bluetooth-enabled devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops. Some models can even recognize when you get a call on your phone while you're connected to your laptop and know to switch between the two. Select over-ear headphones can even connect to your smartphone's voice assistant for convenient voice commands, whether that's Google Assistant, Siri, or Amazon Alexa. Your phone calls will never sound the same once you've connected your new headphones.

Our over-ear headphones also come in a variety of vibrant colors so they function as much as a reflection of your personal style as a listening device. Color options give a custom feel and make these headphones a great gift, whether it's for a loved one or for yourself. Although over-ear headphones have a reputation for being heavy, many manufacturers are now making headphones with a hard plastic exterior for a lightweight feel on your head that doesn't sacrifice durability. This lightweight feel is particularly important given that many over-ear headphones offer anywhere from 20 to 40 hours of battery life on a single charge so you can listen to a whole album or binge-watch a season of your favorite show in a single sitting. When you're running low on battery, devices from brands like Beats have quick-charging technology that can give you hours of listening in a matter of minutes.
