What decides it at this specification

Over-ear means the cup encloses your ear rather than resting on it. Two consequences follow: the seal is made by soft material against the side of your head instead of against cartilage, which is more comfortable for long sessions, and the enclosed volume lets a larger driver pressurise properly, which is where the bass comes from. The cost is bulk and heat.

We list 52 over-ear headphones, from ₹649. boAt accounts for the most of them with 9, across 20 brands in all. Every price was read from the shop's own page and carries the date it was checked, and the order on this page is highest score first.
