Wesc Rectangle Headphones: Love or Leave?

August 28, 2008

Wesc's ALP Horn Headphones fit in with the brand's usual street style, but this pair is different in a major way: The ear pads are rectangular! While I think they look cool (though I don't know if a headphone-sporting starlet would wear them), I have serious concerns about comfort. Can square pads feel that great?

They certainly don't look like they would cradle your ear like round pads would, and furthermore, if they don't cradle them as much, are you really getting the audio benefits of over-ear headphones? The audio benefits are why I sometimes wear these kinds of headphones, after all.

What do you think? Do you like the angular look?

Actually rectangular earphones are super comfortable! I mean ears are longer then they are wide so it makes sense. They don't need to be as big as circular headphones would to "cradle your ear". I say rectangle is awesome.
