Over ear headphones question
Discussion
Sorry, not sure if this should be here or in music...
I have an odd question, I've just bought a pair of over ear headphones for the first time ever (Beats Studio Wireless) and they're quite big ones. Most of the time when I'm going somewhere I'll have a bag with me so I can put them in their case when I'm done with them, or else a final destination where I can put them somewhere safe BUT, what do people do with them when you're going out and about for the day? They're too big to fold up and put in a pocker or hoodie pouch thing, too big to leave around your neck for ages at a time and too expensive to just leave around so am a little unsure what to do with them in that scenario... for example, yesterday I took the train from North London to Reading to meet some friends, was going to be there for 4/5 hours and so didn't take them as didn't know what to do with them whilst I was there.
What do you all do...?

Er, if a requirement for you headphones is that you can travel while listening to music, then spend a few hours somewhere without anywhere to put them, I would suggest you need a pair that fit in your pocket.I have an odd question, I've just bought a pair of over ear headphones for the first time ever (Beats Studio Wireless) and they're quite big ones.

If your requirement is for over ear headphones then the two things aren't compatible.
Not sure what sort of answers you are looking for, but it will be interesting to see what people come up with beyond carry them, put them in a bag, put them in a locker somewhere, or wear them round your neck.

Ha, indeed. I have the normal Apple headphones as my back-up but was curious to see if others did anything or if they basically aren't suitable for occasions like that! Usually I would have a bag with me but thought I'd ask, just out of curiosity If your requirement is for over ear headphones then the two things aren't compatible.

Main reaosn for buying over-ear ones was for the wireless aspect as get so fed up of the remote part catching on shirt collar etc. + in-ears constantly get ruined when living in my pocket, burnt out my 2nd pair of expensive in-ear ones lately!
