difference between on ear and over ear?

Over ear means that the headphone envelopes the entire ear, whereas on ear means the headphones rest atop the ear. Sennhesier px 200 ii would be on ear headphones.

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!

On ear headphones are more like the old school ones from the eighties, where they lay right on your ear, except now much more comfortable. The over ear headphone go over your whole ear so it is nestled inside the padding. Hope this helps.

Alex is correct. The ear pieces rest on top of your ears, nothing goes inside the ear. Hope this answers your question.

On the ear are headphones that actually rest on the ear, and don't cover it. They are usually designed to create a suction between the foam of the ear piece and your ear; the better the suction the more noise blocked out. On the ear headphones will cover your entire ear. These usually offer better sound and comfort, though they are usually much larger than on the ear. What is better is person preference and usually dependent open the situation.

the headphone speaker fits over the whole ear. With on the ear phones, the speakers just cover a portion of the ear. If you ever see the Beats by dr. Dre headphones, those are a good example of over the ear phones.

Starting from large to small, over ear headphones cover all of the ear, surrounding the whole thing including a bit of hair on the side of your head. You've likely seen professional artists that wear over ears for recording sessions, or radio announcers and DJ's that use them. On ear phones are smaller and rest on top of the ear itself with minute spaces where the seam isn't perfect. There is some noise reduction, but not like overears. In ears are often called "buds", because they are very small and insert into the ear canal like a hearing aid.

The earpads on the PX200ii will cup over your ears, rather than sit flat. They are classified as "closed" headphones even though they don't fully envelop the ear. The Sennheiser PX100ii is an example of an "open" earpad headphone. IMO, you can't go wrong with either model.

I'm not sure if you mean a ear hook is the tube type earing aid compared to wire hook set-up? I would think the wire is better.

Over-ear; as per the NoiseHush site, these are "Around ear" http://noisehush.com/i7

This model does have an over the head option. I personally do not use it, the on ear is quite comfortable and have different sized fittings. It is bluetooth compatible with the 3 phones I have tried. Samsung Galaxy S2 & S3 and the Nexus 5.

Unless you have very tiny ears, these will fit on, not over. We just got a pair, and unlike my other headphones which completely fit over the ear without touching the ear, these sit on top of my ears and don't really touch my head.

It seams more of a on the ear kind. My ears are kind of big and they don't fit all the way over. It is a good product. Sounds great. Priced right. Looks good. Endures well. I cant think of anything bad to say about it.

Over the ear. Not very bright and can be turned off too. Think they are good for all music. Seem good to me for long use. Pads on the top and the ears and not too tight on the head.

I think these would be characterized as "On The Ear". While they are very good headphones (and the only Bluetooth 4) they do have a fairly strong "spring" effect on the head. Some people have complained about that. It makes for a firm fit on the head and that makes them almost as sound proofed as Over-The-Ear models. Hope this helps.

I bought them for my girlfriend and I must say that they fit her pretty much over the ear. I do believe they're supposed to be designed to go above the ear though. Buy them! The sound is quality!

I'm sorry, but i don't know based on the other answer. I would have said yes, it sits over the ear as apposed to in the ear the way ear buds fit. I really like them although they are a bit large and there is no adjustment on the headband. Sound is very good range is good.

They are over ear. And yes, they are VERY comfortable. The only complaint I have is that they are so comfortable that I will just leave them on after what I'm listening to is finished. I leave them on so long that my ears start to slightly sweat. I absolutely LOVE these headphones. I cannot say that enough. If you want comfortable, beautiful-sounding, yet very affordable headphones, these CANNOT BE BEAT!!! (pun intended, LOL)

Mine came with two options. One is a wrap around the ear style, the other is an over the head style.

I have both and this one stays in place better if you are more active whille using this compared to the single ear unit. both are comfortable!

It fits over the ear. There are several ear pads to choose from. Also, of the three methods of wearing it (standard over the head headset, behind the neck, and hanging from the ear) provided, I prefer the behind the neck method.

sorry I don't know, the only reason I both these was for the over the ear feature and the long cord and as a back up, I also have a pair of bose in ear and really like these the best, for sound and for my comfort level. I use the bose the most for walking the dog, going for a run, or just listening. I now keep the beats on my desk and use them quit a bit for listening to music at my office and listening to recorded meetings. By the way we may have a different taste in music depending on your age I am a 60 year old grandma.

That is hard to answer. The straps that go over the ear pieces are made of stretchable fabric and will fit over most ear pieces. I hope this helps.

The OE2i and OE2 is an "ON EAR" set of headphones. In fact, the OE stands for ON EAR. The other models we have, the AE2 and AE2i are an Around the Ear (AE) model.
