This isn't the main benefit, of course, but I do like that as a bonus my current over-the-ear headphones keep my ears warm during winter. There are cheaper ways of solving that problem, which is why I describe it as a bonus, but it's top of mind because it's cold today where I live.
And while it's not a benefit this year for me, I also like them on flights.
