so im using my grandpas old walkman and they come with these earphones that go in ur ears but are attached to a headband like over ear headbands. do they have a specific name?
Hey, belated comment: Sony invented and called that design “vertical in-the-ear.”
Because it’s got a headband, it can set the speaker driver perpendicular to the ear canal instead of covering the ear canal opening like regular earbuds, and this creates the impression of extra clarity.
A picture would help, are talking like the ones that came with the aiwa portable CD players?
On-ear headphones are known as “supra-aurel”
OP is not looking for on-ear headphones, but earbuds with a headband.
Like the Sony MDR-A43L
Headphones.
They’re called headphones. On-ear or over ears.
But headphones
headphones.
Koss on-ear headphones?
If the Walkmans I picture in my mind are right, these are called on-ear headphones
