Do these headphones go entirely AROUND the ears (not on top of them)? I see people saying that they go OVER the ears, but that phrase isn't as clear.

No they don't go around the ears, the speaker portion sits on top and is uncomfortable after a while.

I would say "on top" - it's nicely padded but these are not headphones with a cavity that fits the entire ear

No, they hook over your ears. I think they're really comfortable and like them a lot.

They cup over your ears and clip around them. They don't go around your head at all, just your ears

Yes they fit over the ear but they are a bit heavy. They sound really good for the money I wouldnt buy the beats.

They are sized for on-the-ear. That is the main reason I returned them. They may fit over a child's ears, but not likely for an adult. Beyond the size, they are a decent pair of headphones for the price. If you want to cover your ears AND have bluetooth you may have to look at Bose or Harman-Kardon, which are much higher priced.

On ear headphones sit flat against your ear. Over ear headphones do just what they say. They fit over your ears.

I found them too big for running. They also wouldn't stay in my head for running. Maybe for weight training. I prefer in ear for working out. If I were to go with other type of headphones I think I would use over the ear for working out rather than on ear. I hope this helps.

I don't know the answer to these questions. I do know that I absolutely love them and have been using them every day (around the house or while traveling), and these are the only earbuds I can wear that don't fall out of my ears.

the headphone speaker fits over the whole ear. With on the ear phones, the speakers just cover a portion of the ear. If you ever see the Beats by dr. Dre headphones, those are a good example of over the ear phones.

No. The wires very definitely have to go over the ear. The headphones themselves are in ear headphones.

Over-ear; as per the NoiseHush site, these are "Around ear" http://noisehush.com/i7

These are my son's, he says they surround his ear, not just sit on top. Hope that helps

They fit all around the ear. I have such big ears that most headphones that are over-ear don't go over my ears, but these are marvelous. The HSR-1000's are some of the most comfortable headphones out there, and they sound relatively good for the price.

Unfortunately no however you can arrange them so that they fit over your ear rather snugly. I prefer this, as the plastic ear attachments have irritated me in the past. They also have inner ear hooks that are soft that help keep the headphones in place.

They are over the ear and comfortable. The only complaint I have is probably not with the headphones themselves as much as over the ear headphones in general. They tend to get warm over your ears because they have no air circulation... hahahaThat being said, I love them. I have heard a couple of my co-workers complain about that though and I do notice my ears get a bit warm, the headphones do not heat up at all, just lack of circulation.
