Hello, guys, I am looking for on-ear headphone, so I can put it in my backpack and take it with me to school/work/road trip.

I have already own two headphone (Sennhesier HD 419 and Sennhesier HD 558) but those two are over the ear, and it is pretty big to carry them with me.

 

Why not ear buds you guys might ask? Well, I currently own a Logitech in-ear buds, and it has been pretty good with me, however, they are uncomfortable to use for a long period of time and they also keep falling out of my ear due to the weight of volume rocker and is dust magnet that is why I want to buy an on-ear headphones. They are close to be portable as in-ear buds.

 

I am looking for a foldable headphone under $50 dollar, and I am curious if you guys know any. 

Also it is possible to find a bluetooth plus wired, so I can maybe use bluetooth?

I will mostly use it on either my iPad Air or Nexus 5. :P

Yeah, I do like that headphone because it is Sennhesier and design for the headband. Sadly, the pricing is too great for my limited $50 dollar budget, so I can't buy it.

Thanks though, I was considering it earlier. :P

Thumbs up for that its awesome

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

CHC Silverado is the only thing I can come up with. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

That get's a big fat meh from me. It might be good if you just want the wireless feature but Kyle isn't an audio guy and there is nothing special about that headphone. I rather spend $50 on something that actually sounds good.

I'm not an audio guy either, but I know more about it than most people. I know what sounds good, and I think Kyle does too since he own a pair of those Beyers. Plus, he even went over the things that were bad about it.

Koss PortaPro is a classic, the KSC75 is the same thing but a clip-on instead of a headband. They're open though, so leak quite a bit of sound.

Thanks for the help.

I already bought mine.

I think it was GoGrove BlueVibe foldable Bluetooth headset.

You can find it on Amazon.

It look nice and comes with a hard or durable case rather a thick cloth bag to hold your headphone.

Photive is also quite easily leaked

Get a over ear in ear earbuds

Basically wired go above

Shure se215 is an example

Any sports earphones are also very good

Honestly if u insist on headphones then photive but it is Bluetooth and uses more battery

I recommend(wired)(on ear headphones)

Sony xb series

Audio technica street monitoring

Seinheiser has one hd202 I think

In ear

Seinheiser cx685

Audio technica sports

If the control buttons for the earphones are a problem

Get these without them and they have many sizes of ear buds from the box

I'll just say the brand and u cab check them out yourself for your preferences

Etymotic has some

Audio technica

Klispch

Shure

Akg
