Open-backed headphones in public will have everyone around you hearing your music no? Doesn't seem suitable for public transport for example.

And I just don't like in-ear anymore... Used them for about a decade but it's always discomfort and trying to get them in just right, and I tried so many models. Not to mention you need to clean your ears all the time or risk pushing the wax deeper into your ear canal each time (or getting it all over the ear bud)

For me personally, the sweat is a small price to pay for the comfort and sound quality of over-ear headphones. Plus they're harder to lose!

Nah, I have a ton of pairs of open-back headphones and you cannot hear what’s playing unless you’re wearing them. If anyone else can hear what you’re playing, you’re playing something so loud it’s damaging your hearing, not good.

Is there a pair of open-back headphones you'd recommend for watching TV? Sometimes there's a lot of noise in my apartment and turning up the TV just adds to the problem rather than helping me hear it better (especially voices instead of the annoying background music or noisy action scenes)
