Some of the most popular headphones designs are on-ear headphones. Rather than surrounding your ears, these sit over your ears. That makes them nicely compact, and in warm weather can help keep your ears cooler than over-ear headphones.
On-ear headphones also tend to be lower in cost than over-ear models. Most cheap headphones are on-ear designs, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that all on-ear headphones are cheap and nasty. Several on-ear models from Grado are hand-built in its Brooklyn, New York, facility and provide true audiophile sound quality.
At Addicted To Audio we carry an exciting range of first-class on-ear headphones from some of the finest specialist brands in the world, such as Grado (as we mentioned), Sennheiser, Fostex and Audeze. You may not be familiar with some of those brands, but they’ve got a quality experience in store for your ears.
There are two great ways to buy on-ear headphones. The best way for most people is at a quality retail outlet in your city. That way you can have a listen, try them out, see whether they feel like a good “fit” for you. But if you’re confident that you already know what you want, consider purchasing your headphones direct from us at Addicted To Audio. We are an authorised New Zealand reseller for all our products. We provide full service and after sales support. And we ship fast.
