Question: what is the difference between beats on ear and over ear headphones?
Answer: On-ear 'phones' ear pads rest on the outer ear; over-the-ear models' have larger ear pads that encircle the ears. ... On-ears focus sound directly into the ear canal, so it's a less "natural" way to hear stereo sound. Over-the-ear headphones sound more spacious and expansive than on-ear headphones.
