Wearing over-ear headphones in public wasn't really a thing until Beats and such came into fashion in the last 15 years or so.
- owlmirror 6y agooh, I'm certain Over ear headphones were popular long before beats came along. as an example from the top of my mind I'd like to point to the 1999 music video "Freestyler" and I myself a teenager then was sporting them in the late 90ies early 00s
