            An added bonus (if the Crusher model also does this) is that they plug into my xbox controller and work as a headset and they are freaking awesome. Far better than my Corsair and my kid's LucidSound that were both over $100.
            Skullcandy makes a kick@ss products at really good prices.

              wired of course.in-ears also vacuum ear canal and apply passive noise cancellation.no compression means no quality loss and no need to think about charging.besides,3.5mm is universal.unplug and plug to a another device and pair in 1 sec,done!
              tws is only fancy and very very expensive

                  [deleted post]not true at all, you probably have not even tried wireless headphones and if u have, then you may have used the tin can $2 ones at Walmart or somewhere. if u se the high end wireless headphones (Sony XM4, Bose QC 35ii, Surface headphones) with good codecs like LDAC, aptX, then it is one of the best experiences ever. also u r a little wrong on convenience, whenever i turn on my headphones, it instantly connects to all my paired devices and seamlessly switches between all of them if i have a call, music playing etc. and the cooler part is we don't have to deal with the tangled wired headphones problems ya'll face a lot

                    I moved to TWS outdoors, which are very convenient and sound good enough, but there's no comparison - I will never ditch my collection of best wired over ear Sennheisers to listen to at home.

                      [deleted post]not exactly true, what you mean that fashion people go for truely wireless, on the other hand, aptx hd wireless astell and kern xb10 (as low as US$60 nowadays) receiver which supports 2.5mm balanced and 3.5mm unbalanced sounds pretty decent, unless you going for high end balanced armatures, using xb10 is good compromise for good sounding inexpensive option for wireless, partner with ear phones from recommended what hifi or even better head fi non branders

                        AXZz-D, 01 Feb 2021Ermm it's worth noting that the audio quality of Bluet... moreactually bluetooth (4.2 or under) is over 20 year tech, sounds rather compressed and lifeless, due to low bitrate 330kbps compare to an inexpensive dac such as ibasso dc02 and inexpensive ok in ear earphones (what hifi has a few, head fi has great sounding no branders iems as well), on the other, high bit rate audio such as bluetooth 5.0 or aptx hd (600kbps) sounds pretty decent, but ldac sounds the best at 990 kbps

                          Over Ear is the best if you want comfortable big headphones with rich sound and huge bass. Waiting for my new wireless over ear headphones to replace my on ear cheap Sony wired headphones.

                                  I for one will never buy a phone without it, and I buy a few phones a year. Nearly 60% of this poll's respondents also use it.

                                    I use TWS headphones mostly but I do use my over the ear Beats Solo Pro around the house. Depends on my mood at the time, my daily drivers are Jabra Elite 75T. Love them!

They are way more reliable than bluetooth. And if they will start making reliable products, how would they be able to sell millions of them in a month?
                                        Bluetooth is best for them. The TWS and neckbands can't be repaired (in most cases) and user is forced to buy another one.
