Clip-On Headphones

Clip on headphones that fit securely on your ears by clipping over the top of the ear.  Also called on ear headphones or clip earphones.

The secure fit on the ear means clip-on earphones are ideal for wearing while participating in sports or while doing activities that involve a lot of movement.  For example clip on headphones are ideal for commuting or for activities such as walking the dog.

The lightweight design and secure fit means that clip on headphones are comfortable to wear for most people.

Clip on headphones come in two main designs, an earbud type (with the earbud held in the ear via arms coming from above the ear) and an earpad type (with the earpads covering the entrance to the ear).  The sound quality is variable as external noise can easily enter the ear, although their design means you can also hear people talking to you if needed.
