The only risk you take by wearing full headphones is getting made fun of 🤣 I use on-ear because I don't want to deal with that BS. If money is no object, go Audeze sine. Otherwise, Bose.
I work on a tech implementation project with an open office plan. The only people without over-ear headphones are new.
I use Bose qc35ii and no issues at all. Just let folks know to tap you or message you if they need you.
Best headphones you say...... Get out your wallet...
Audeze LCD-X are great and closed
Campfire Andromeda are interesting
Custom in-ear gets my vote as most versitle (UE 18 Pro are my favs, but audio 64 makes great stuff)
But seriously over ear are fine.
I guess I should have said "reasonably priced" best headphones... 😅
Yes
I tell my clients that if I'm on-site with headphones a quick blip on Skype should generally do. But also qc35ii is a good set. I'm no audiophile but it just helps.
Airpods
I think airpods are more obnoxious looking than over the ear. By an order of magnitude.
QC35 ii or similar. No ugly looking big ones
JH Audio custom IEMs
Get impressions at an audiologist, then you get custom-fit IEMs that function both as ear plugs and headphones
None of this Bose bs if you care about sound quality and value
AirPods still for calls
I have the JH 5s from 2013 and just ordered the 16v2
No issues on my end, and I’ve had a couple calls/emails as I was getting ready to order the 16s
I know in the past they have had stretches of long lead times... growing pains I suppose
Just be cognizant of your speaking volume
WHAT
Have a pair of QC 35 when I'm alone or flying, and QC 30s which are in ear for team room. Easy to pull them out of my ears and wear around my neck.
For over ear have also heard great things about the Sony WH-1000MX3 (terrible name)
Yeah, my one friend who is an audiophile also recommends the Sony. Many of the YouTube reviewers say it's better than the Bose.
