In-Ear Headphones Pros Sound Isolation: One of the most significant advantages of in-ear headphones is their ability to block out external noise. By fitting snugly inside the ear canal, they create a seal that can greatly reduce ambient sound, allowing for focused listening even in noisy environments.

On-ear headphones are a type of headphones that have smaller cups that sit on your ear. The ear pads are somewhat the size of your ears or smaller and don't fully cover your ears.

Reliability - Even if it's repairable, if it's known to break often, then it would still be a problem as it would be a money pit. Sound - It's a headphone, if it doesn't sound good, then what's the point? Comfort - Even if it's sounds really good, if it causes me discomfort or pain, it will avoid it.
