I'm considering getting a new pair since I lost my primary pair and am currently using my backup ones. Trying to figure out which type I should get.

I guess it really depends on how and what you use them for. I usually don't use mine outside, like for shopping.

But for most chores at home, I can totally wear my over ear headphones. Unless you're like cleaning something where your head must be low or is moving a lot (which may cause them to slide off), it's really not a problem.

Well, I'm very tall so every chore requires bending over. Vacuuming, dishes, laundry, looking down to sweep.

I guess I kinda internalized that and assumed everyone else has the same experience.
