Need a suggestion for on-ear / over-ear headphones for watching video lectures purpose. The usage is for 8-10 hours per day, so need comfortable, light weight and soft one.

Requirements – Comfortable and Light weight, Bluetooth(preferred), not very costly (1000-2000 range at max).

Not needed – No bass, no extra features, no specific brand, no music quality, no folding-portability, no fancy features , no noise cancellation, etc.

Comfort and light weight is the most essential requirement for long hours. Bluetooth will be preferred, and the less costly, the better. Features concerning music not required.

Boat Rockerz 450 seems good from the reviews. Anybody having personally used it?

I have only ever researched earphones for music listening primarily. I think the renewed OP Bullets Z would serve well provided you could grab one

Isnt that an in-ear type? Already have in-ear ones. They get uncomfortable for 8-10 hours use, blocking the ear like that.

Using Boat 600, it is comfortable. But would recommend buying one of new models with Bluetooth 5.0

Won’t recommend bluetooth headphones/earphones for lectures. I used two good pairs and both had some latency issue which was only palpable during online lectures. Can get extremely annoying.
Plus you might have charging issue because you’ll be using these for longer hours.

You can maybe go with senheiser HD 206
Pretty light weight plus your ears don’t hurt much. I don’t remember much as I used these 2-3 years back, but I remember that I found these comfortable than most headphones.

Don’t have any recent experience with on-ear BT headphones but i’ve had two of them in the past 3/4 years
One is… Jabra Halo 2 which looked super stylish but had shitty sound quality
the second one is Skullcandy Uproar BT Headphones which i got for ~1k (not worthy @ current price : 2.5k) in some sale
Light weight + Good Sound Quality + Comfortable + Good Battery life

even I had picked up the Skullcandy Uproar at 900 from flipkart but both the pads came off after a yr and half although I used them rarely and carefully.

Moreover they are comfortable for a small period only,after around 45 mins they start getting uncomfortable and after 1 hour to 1.5 hour you will surely have to open them

@mas143forever any updates?

Yeah was about to update it here.

Ordered the following two, on the first day of Flipkart sale, at approx 700 (gionee) and 500 (Ant) respectively.

Gionee one is BT 5.0, comes with AUX cable, and similar 20 hours backup with fast charging. Ear cushions are big, so wont be sitting directly on the ear. Reviews seemed suitable for the purpose.

Have received the gionee one and using it. Battery backup seems true, no latency as both the headphone and the mobile (k20 pro) have BT-5. Noise isolation doesnt seem perfect, but I didnt need it either. Havent experienced much discomfort, except for the sweating in this hot Delhi summer. So can only use while in AC, in summers. I guess that would be the issue with all the over-ear headphones.

Ant one is still to arrive (may be tomorrow or day after). Had ordered both, in case whichever suits best.

After ordering these two, I had cancelled the JBL one from Amazon. That alone cost 1300, these two cost only 1200 in total. toungueout

Go with this headphone currently out of stock and not sure when it available. There are rarely any headphone available for on ear type as most OEM have moved to inear type.

Need in-ear earphones for video lectures
Bluetooth is needed
Battery backup should be good
Due to bad internet connection from other end,the sound is not proper
My current earphones are not good,they make sound quality even worse.So need one with good quality sound
Budget as cheap as possible
No urgency as of now.Can wait
