    I think peak design was the on-ear, behind-the-neck style. They rested on the top of your ears, and your hair didn’t get all fucked up from the headband. I don’t know why they had such a short-lived popularity.

    I’ve tried the wired Koss independent on-ears, but you lose clarity of lows without the pressure of a neckband or headband.

      They still exist, although aren’t as common. Plenty of places have them if you order online

        The form factor exists, but not in competitive terms. Good luck finding them with high quality drivers. I tried for years and gave up.
