Headphones for long hours

Home Tech Home Entertainment

I am expected to be on my desk for long hours in the near future, and I will need to coordinate with other people online. That, I think, would entail long hours of calling.

I do have oneplus 4 buds TWS- and they are good. But, even now, when am wearing them for 3-4 hours, it is getting uncomfortable. Also, I have a setup with headphone jack- if that would help. So, my question is:

  1. Are headphones recommended for my usecase? (with mic)
  2. If so, kindly recommend one that is little easy on the pockets.

I find Oneplus TWS pretty good for music and general calling but definitely not for long lectures/ work sessions.

Thanks in advance

You can try any open back headphone. DT 990 Pro is a good one. Comfortable for 5-6 hours in an AC room.

Thanks for the response. It does look very good. A little beyond my budget though…and, amazon says frequently returned item. Do we have any options?

I dont know about why its frequently returned. Maybe people want more noice cancellation. I got it around 11k I think. Whats your budget?

5

10k…. with some flexibility. If you have used this and find it appropriate, I can check out openbox guys in delhi. GEnerally they have premium gadgets.

For 10K, you can go with IEMs too. Why would you buy a used item for 10k?!!

Haha yes. You are right. IEMs- are they suitable for long hours at a stretch?

If the IEM is light and has a good fit, you can listen at 30% volume for 4-5 hours easily

Headphones can be comfortable for long hours especially if they are worn in already but my advice would be to try every option and see what works best for you. Also for IEMs it depends on lots of factors like your ear structure, IEM models, ear tip size/quality etc., something you will have to try yourself.

Try out Oneplus z2 or z3 neckbands..In my opinion they provide better sound clarity than other iem in the price range..Moroever as u need long hours of calling it is the best with an awesome battery and fast charge in 15 minutes after running out of battery…Also no iem would come near in terms of battery

I use Razer BlackShark V2 X.

Tbh I think most recommendations are from people who generally us their headphones either at home for few hours or for music like necknands and stuff, I wudnt recommend them for Long periods and Beyers ( DT 990 ) are more towards music / auidiophile category i wudnt recommend them for work either but can be work 3/4 hrs..

I have actually put on Sale Jabra headset ( Evolve 20 ) which I had gotten for same purpose, they are mostly used in call centres all around the world and made to wear all day and have usb connection and volume control dials option for teams and stuff , they have other models too I think . So check them out.

savi 8200 is another decent option but i prefer jabras ( can check out thier other models too ).

Also some sony’s are pretty comfortable as well if you really need Bluetooth but in that case I would recommend to you first try them out at an outlet.
