was wondering which ones were better sounding on an ipod or house? The around ear or on ear head phones?

I only have experience with the around the ear phones. I personally like them because they are more comfortable on my ears. They don't keep out the noise level as much as my cheaper ear buds, which surprised me. I do love the sound quality of the Bose headset. It is basically a preference for me because of the comfort level on my ears.

I have both - personally. I prefer the AE. It does not fold though. The OE does.

like others have said it kinda depends on your needs. Over the years I have had many pairs but have settled on the On Ear recently with the mic. Reasons are: I wanted portability fold into small package for travel, use with iPhone to take calls, control music while working out. They are very comfortable and sound great for the price. Hope this helps!

Ok I can only speak to my personal use. I only listen to HD with my Bose OE. I enjoy the sound quality of the over ear headphones. Hope it helps

I purchased mine a while ago and I mostly use it for my iPod and my laptop, for movies and online streaming of shows. I think the sound resolution is great. The bass is not overpowering, and the sound is rich. The ear-pads sit well on your ears and are not painful, so you don't end up with something compressing your head. In addition, what I mostly like about these headphones is that once you put them on, it diminishes outside noise. Even better. So to answer your question, then yes: this product is great for listening to music at home. Plus it comes with its own bag. Bonus:)I hope this review was helpful.

First is better build quality and as for sound,what you put in is what you get out . The genre of music played through these head phones sounds natural to my ears without being colored in any way.

My son has beats which has a bass better bass response. I prefer Monster as it is better balanced in tone.

It's really hard to find a true around the ear headphones.I guess all the designers have tiny ears.I will say I have owned at least 25 pairs of headphones,and the vmoda is at the top of the most comfortable list.They don't press as hard,plus vmoda sells a replacement earpad set that have thicker padding and are just a bit larger.Plus they're super soft.

To me it sounds notably better than the 535, but only if sourced properly. If I listen the the 535 & 846 on my IPod, I notice a difference, but not enough to warrant the change. When sourced by my Astell & Kern with FLACs, however, I notice a significant difference. The ability to change the inserts makes a difference. I use them with the warm/bass inserts and the yellow foam ear buds and they are amazing. I still use the 535s for activities (mowing the lawn, moutain biking, etc) with an iPod, but always use the 846s in other environments. I hope this helps

the headphone speaker fits over the whole ear. With on the ear phones, the speakers just cover a portion of the ear. If you ever see the Beats by dr. Dre headphones, those are a good example of over the ear phones.

Yes, defintley . I feel these are little better than my original apple headphones. I'm definitely listening to more music than outside noise.

I have never tried the over ear headphones. These headphones sound great, it also has great bass. The only down side is there a little tight.

I have used these for mowing my lawn. I used my Apple iPod with a standard interconnect cable. The plugin on the headphones is the same as on the iPod. I was surprised how well they worked. I thought the volume would have to be very high but it was not. The sound protection was quite good and I could hear my music just fine. There does seem to be a limit as to how load you can adjust the music. I wanted it a little louder but found it to be quite adequate. It's rather surprising how you can turn up the volume and hear surrounding sounds better than without the headphones on. Then when start the mower, its sound is immediately blocked and I can now enjoy my music. I'm sure you'll like using them. I have used these for mowing my lawn.

I think so but I like the Skullcandy Hesh (?) headphones now but alas, I've lost sound in one side again. But it took longer. I changed cords and both sides worked again. So far, Skullcandy has been my favorite brand, by far, for my budget.

Over-ear; as per the NoiseHush site, these are "Around ear" http://noisehush.com/i7

I love my Klipsh S4 earbuds. Far superior comfort and sound compared to ipod stock earphones. Cost about $80, but you wont believe the difference in sound. Especially bass.

These headphones have great quality sound, & for ON the ear phones are the best to me. Any background sound is not apparent if u turn the vol up by only 1/3 - 1/2. If u will be listening most of the time with a lot of or loud background noise, then OVER the ear phones will excel for that, but they typically will cost approx $100 more. Over the ear phones are built to block loud, and/or constant background noise, but the drawback to them is your ears will get hot, so by design they both have their benefits/limitations.

I bought both (over-the-ear for work and the earbuds for home). Depending on your use, the over-the-ear headphones are great for work when you need to lock in and focus. The earbuds work better for me at home, so that I can be aware of everything that is going on (I have kids, so I need to know what they are doing).

thx - open headphones do sound good, but since they are for a teenager to use in the house, leaky music may not be too desirable. :0(

I use an iPod touch 4th gen (not amped) to listen to them. An amp will make them sound even better, but is not necessary.
