On Ear

This category of headphones is great for users who require high portability and a small form factor. As you can imagine, this type of headphone sits on top of your ears and clamps to your head in order to create a good seal and stay in place.

Almost all on ear models are closed back designs meant for portable use, only very few of them are open back designs with low isolation, but they do exist.

Price categories are rather limited due to the fact that over ear models tend to easily outperform on ear models at higher price classes, especially in the fit and comfort department.
