Are they designed to be worn over the ear?

No. But it is really easy to use over the ear because the housing is really small and the wires are very flexible and not stiff.

It was not designed specifically to be worn over the ear, but it can be worn that way, I tried.

I think you are asking "do they sit over the whole ear". Yes they do. (unless you have really big ears). I find them comfortable and use them frequently on 13 hour Pacific flights.

They wouldn't really be angled correctly if you didn't put them over your ear. I've seen the same brand has a non-over ear version.

They are considered "on ear" headphones so no. You may want to look at "over the ear" style headphones.

The cups are a little smaller than most headsets but they do cover the ear completely. They are over-ear.

Yes, absolutely. I wear mine over glasses. I love these things. They work great and are very easy to use.

In theory you could wear them "normally" since the over-ear part is only semi-rigid. However, I tried it and the earbuds were basically falling out once I started moving.

Yes, they are entirely over the ear, but this is not the same as sound-cancelling. Others next to you may be able to hear sound, regardless of the fact that it surrounds your ear.

Yes. They will stay on the ears. They are a bit big, but they stay tight to ears.

Starting from large to small, over ear headphones cover all of the ear, surrounding the whole thing including a bit of hair on the side of your head. You've likely seen professional artists that wear over ears for recording sessions, or radio announcers and DJ's that use them. On ear phones are smaller and rest on top of the ear itself with minute spaces where the seam isn't perfect. There is some noise reduction, but not like overears. In ears are often called "buds", because they are very small and insert into the ear canal like a hearing aid.

Yes, the earpads conform well enough that these are comfortable to wear over glasses for hours. I should know because I wear glasses and they fit just fine over the legs of the glasses. I hope I answered your question with what you want to hear.

They fit completely (and comfortably) over my ear and I cannot even hear myself talk while wearing them. I would imagine if someone has larger ears, they might be a little more snug but would still sit over.

There are no different attachments for over the ear. The wire should conform to your ear.

Mostly over the ear but if you have big ears maybe not. They fit me OK and do not let outside sound in.

Hello, They are specified as "Around Ear Design". You won't mind many headphones that your entire ear will fit into. Most are design to comfortable fit around or over the ear. Good luck. Jaddlin

They should ... they're too big for me length-wise (I have small ears too, although maybe not very small), but it doesn't affect me since the thing that goes behind the ear keeps them in place nicely.

These are made for smaller children, so for the intended use yes they are over the ear. They are the most comfortable headphones I have purchased for my daughter--BY FAR! The light is not too bright and can be turned off. She uses them to watch Netflix or other movies and listen to music on her tablet. They are also the best sounding headphones for children I have come accross.
