TudoCelular has been preparing several guides to help you choose your next cell phone to buy, as well as other interesting electronics to buy. And of course we couldn’t forget the Headphones. If you don’t like in-ear models, which are inserted into the ear, here we list the best on-ear options (models that sit over the ears).

These headphones are more compact and lighter than the over-ear headphones (those that completely cover the ears). If you’re not into trambolhão headphones and want something more discreet to go out listening to music on the street or while doing physical activities, you’ll find the best options in our guide.

Remembering that the focus here is wired headphones. If you’re looking for more wireless options, we have a guide to the best Bluetooth headphones below.

Our list seeks to bring together more affordable models that simply deliver good sound, as well as more robust models that feature more advanced noise cancellation technologies and professional sound quality.

The models will be organized by price, but we will make clear the highlights of each one and the advantages of investing in a more expensive model. As prices change frequently, the products listed will not always be ordered perfectly by price.

Do you want a cheap on-ear headphone, but with a more modern design and good sound quality? Sony’s MDR-ZX110 would be our recommendation for just over R$50.

For this price, don’t expect high build quality. It is made entirely of plastic and its comfort level is not exemplary.

The highlight is the sound part. Do you like stronger bass? This is what sets the MDR-ZX110 apart in this price range. The bad thing is that the excess bass ends up overpowering the treble, but the midrange is not affected.

Another problem with overdoing the bass is that when you increase the volume too much, you will notice above-average distortion. The sound insulation is also not the best, but the sound leakage is one of the lowest among the models in our guide.

Philips recently renewed its line of on-ear headphones, and is investing in the 200 series models, also known as UpBeat.

The most basic bet is the TAUH201, a headset so light that you’ll forget it’s on your head. It has a flat cable to reduce tangling that is 4 feet long.

The 32 mm neodymium acoustic drivers provide clear sound and very strong bass, as expected from a good Philips headphone.

There is a microphone integrated into the cable with echo cancellation to ensure high sound clarity on your calls. You can also use the call button to scroll through songs.

We started our guide with the cheap ZX110 and now we list the MDR-ZX310, which is an improved version. The finish and design are similar between the two Sony headphones. What changes is that this one has a microphone and controls on the cable.

While the cheaper one exaggerates the bass, the ZX310 has a more balanced sound due to the wider frequency range, increasing the clarity of the treble.

It can also be found in other colors not available on the ZX110, in addition to having a metallic external finish that features a gold-plated plug to increase the quality of its sound.

Now if you expect better comfort or greater sound insulation, you will be disappointed with the ZX310. Overall, the two are very similar, but the difference is worth paying for this one.

JBL’s C300 is another good option for around R$100. It is light and has a slightly better build quality than the Sony MDR-ZX110 and you will only have to pay R$30 more for it.

Its cable has the same length of 1.2 meters (which is the standard for headphones), but here in the JBL model the cable is a little thicker, which increases its durability.

Like the Sony model, this one also focuses a lot on bass, but doesn’t distort as much at maximum volume. You can use a music player with an equalizer to try to balance the sound reproduction.

Its acoustic insulation is a little better than that of the Sony, but the noise around it is still noticeable. The sound leak is not very loud.

Want a more sophisticated option from JBL? For around R$130 it is possible to find the Tune 500, which succeeds the praised T450 that was quite successful here last year.

Don’t confuse this with the 500BT, which is wireless. The Tune 500 features Pure Bass technology to present reinforced bass like the cheapest option in our guide, but with better quality.

It comes with a dedicated button to be used with virtual assistants, be it Siri on iOS or Google Assistant on Android.

Its quality is good for the price and it delivers above average comfort compared to others in this price range. The sound insulation is better than the C300 and it also leaks less sound. If you’re looking for a good headphone and don’t want to pay a lot, the Tune 500 would be our best recommendation.

AKG is known worldwide for its high sound quality. With the K414P headset, you have a headset that is compact and light, but without compromising on quality with its brushed steel structure. It has two side rubbers that make use more comfortable than the famous Koss Porta Pro (which is just below in our guide).

Its cable is almost 2 meters long, making it sufficient for different types of use. It is widely used as an aid for stage returns, due to its high sound fidelity and very affordable price.

For those who are looking at this headset to listen to music on their cell phone, it’s good to be aware that it ends up distorting a little when the volume is at maximum, but if you don’t care too much about the sound power, you’ll have excellent audio quality. audio.

For the price that AKG asks for it, it could be a more interesting purchase than others we listed in our guide. But for those looking for a more robust headphone for music with aggressive beats, there are better options on our list.

Did you like Tune 500, but are you running away from the wires? We have on our list the 500BT, which is its cable-free version that uses Bluetooth technology, as you can already imagine from the model name.

It is the successor to the T450BT, one of the entry-level Bluetooth headphones most sought after by Brazilians and which has already appeared in our wireless headphones guide.

There’s not much to say about the 500BT. It delivers the same sound quality as its wired brother, and the only differences worth commenting on are the presence of Bluetooth 4.1 technology and the average battery life of 16 hours.

The Tune 500BT is a good basic headphone with support for JBL’s Pure Bass technology for intense bass. Its 32 mm drivers guarantee good reproduction of mids and highs. Oh, and support for Google and Apple assistants is also present.
