On-Ear Headphones

To anyone looking to buy the Beats Solo³ headphones or any on-ear headphones, I think there is an important point to consider before you finalize your purchase. There are three main types of headphones: in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear. AirPods are in-ear, Beats Solos are on-ear, and Beats Studios are over-ear. The issue with on-ear is that for some, myself included, the headphones can cause your ears to become sore after about 30 minutes of listening. It can become irritating and can force the user to take breaks from listening to music. Over-ear headphones typically provide crisp sound without any pain to the ears. In-ear headphones are another great alternative, however they typically don't have as good of quality and can be prone to falling out of your ear. In short, if you have the opportunity, find a way to try on-ear headphones for a while before you buy them. You might find the investment in a pair of over-ear headphones to be more worth it.
