Why choose over-ear headphones?

At the same time, the built-in microphones and noise-filtering technology provide crystal-clear calls, even in noisy environments.
The advantages of over-ear headphones:
- Rich sound with larger drivers and natural sound isolation
- Ultimate comfort, even with long-term use
- Noise reduction, both passive and active (ANC)
- Longer battery life than many in-ear models
- Perfect for music, home office, gaming, travel and relaxation

What is best, open-ear or over-ear?
The choice between open-ear and over-ear depends on how you use your headphones and what type of sound experience you prefer. Open-ear headphones sit on the outside of your ear and allow you to hear your surroundings while listening to music or podcasts. This makes them particularly suitable for running, cycling and situations where safety and awareness are important. They are light, airy and comfortable for longer periods of time because they do not close the ear. Over-ear headphones surround the entire ear and deliver a fuller and deeper sound experience with better passive noise reduction. They are often the best choice if you want to immerse yourself in your music, work in noisy environments or just want maximum comfort. Both technologies have their strengths, it mainly comes down to what you will be using the headphones for.
Are over-ear headphones good for gaming?
Yes, over-ear headphones are generally very suitable for gaming because the large ear cushions create a more detailed sound image and isolate you better from the surroundings. This helps you both hear deep sounds, directional details and communicate more clearly with other players. When looking for gaming headphones it is a good idea to choose headphones that support low latency, as this minimizes the delay between sound and image.
Can over-ear headphones be used for children?
Yes, it is recommended that children use over-ear headphones rather than in-ear ones, as these are gentler on children's hearing. In addition, it is also a comfortable solution for many, as the ear cushions do not press directly into the ear. The most important thing is that the headphones have the right size, limited volume and are developed specifically as headphones for children.
For children, we recommend a model that is developed specifically for younger users. Wavell Junior is designed with safe volume, light weight and a size that fits smaller heads better than regular adult models. It provides a comfortable fit and a safe sound experience that both children and parents can be satisfied with.
