Can you wear these over the ear (to reduce microphonics)?

Yup, you actually kinda have to wear these over the ear otherwise just tapping on the wiring will make it sound like a boombox. But once you wear it over the ear microphonics is neglible.

You could certainly use some ear buds and put these over them. The small wires would not allow a substantial amount of noise to get past the foam. But as others have written, these headphones themselves would not produce any music for you.

You can but not for long. Your ears get really got and sweaty. Mine hurt my ears too much so I bought audio technica m50x instead.

Yes, but if you wear it over the ear, the mic will be behind your head. Works better with under the ear method

I've never tried that, but I don't think so, as I can hear just fine when I'm wearing them!

You can, but it may not be comfortable! They stick out at least a few centimeters out of your ears.

No, they will not reduce the sound enough. The foam earplugs will protect your ears and muffle the sound much better than these.

No, but there are products similar to TV Ears that use over-the-ear headphones. Search for "wireless headphones" or "RF headphones"

Yes you can. I use them all the time. But please be careful not to drop them as the internal components seems to be fragile. The ear pads are also a little concerning as they start to give off a foul oder ( not so bad) as you sweat. In review, I would recommend this product highly.

Because there is significant padding, I don't think others can hear. I absolutely love these headphones and recommend highly. They are comfortable to wear, but because they sit over the ear, they can cause pressure if you wear glasses.

I really don't know but don't see why they wouldn't significantly reduce the noise. I have to tell you I love mine but the wire is so cheaply made I don't use them very often. I use Koss Studio Headphones that are Bulletproof but very heavy. Good luck!

No. If your referring to external noise, there is very little, if any noise reduction. The ear pieces have a foam cover that does little to keep noise out. Hope this helps.

I doubt it though it hasn't been tried. My reasoning is that I can hear them. With that in mind if I can hear them while not wearing them it seems that the noise interference would interfere. How old is the child? Perhaps Ear buds are a better way to go!

Possibly, but likely not with a satisfactory result. Many ear pads are constructed of vinyl over fabric. This product creates a soft plastic coating, but is not really intended to bond to cloth or other soft materials. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer of the headphones for replacement ear pads if the headphones were expensive.

Yes they may. If found headphone size less than expected and also padding is little insufficient. But again it depends upon your ear.

sure you can wear them as earplugs if you wanted , they do eliminate a substantial amount of outside sound , but cheap disposable earplugs do a better job

They can be but not sure they will sit correctly in your ears to obtain proper protection. I wear them for shooting and I usually have them behind my neck.
