They are over ear. And yes, they are VERY comfortable. The only complaint I have is that they are so comfortable that I will just leave them on after what I'm listening to is finished. I leave them on so long that my ears start to slightly sweat. I absolutely LOVE these headphones. I cannot say that enough. If you want comfortable, beautiful-sounding, yet very affordable headphones, these CANNOT BE BEAT!!! (pun intended, LOL)

No. It sort of hooks over your ears and the 'speakers' sit along your jawbone. So much more comfortable than in ear headphones. I love them

Over ear means that the headphone envelopes the entire ear, whereas on ear means the headphones rest atop the ear. Sennhesier px 200 ii would be on ear headphones.

Well, those are like you see in the advertising pictures, those are not flat to be over the ear, it has in the midle like the earphones an came with a ruber part that go inside the ear, I do not use those rubert parts, I use without those attachments, so the regular earphoe part stay inside my ear and this way not fall out of the ear, you can see again all the pictures that the seller provide and see how those are.

These are over ear headphones. As for the guy who said they're cheaply made, they are under $11 and they are simply a re-branding of the OEM used by the Monoprice 8323 headphones which are widely regarded as offering a very sound high quality to price ratio. You can do much worse for $11 cans.

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

They are "over the ear". They are comfortable, but I don't know about comfort of the QC-15.

I'd agree with James Chamberlin. It's hard to estimate percentages, since some of the ambient sound is transmitted through vibrations. The noise is significantly reduced, however, and music more pleasant. One consideration is that over-the-ear headphones reduce background noise even more than on-the-ear headphones like these. If you are seriously concerned about noise suppression consider the other style.

On the ear are headphones that actually rest on the ear, and don't cover it. They are usually designed to create a suction between the foam of the ear piece and your ear; the better the suction the more noise blocked out. On the ear headphones will cover your entire ear. These usually offer better sound and comfort, though they are usually much larger than on the ear. What is better is person preference and usually dependent open the situation.

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

I have never tried the over ear headphones. These headphones sound great, it also has great bass. The only down side is there a little tight.

Both are rather comfortable so it really depends on the situation. When I'm on a long flight, over the ear is better and retains the sound to just me, as apposed to on ear which will allow everyone to hear what you are hearing. For doing something active, I prefer on ear because I can crank it as loud as I want to and they are lighter.

I am looking for the same information, after a google search it seems that these are a little short for earbuds. Which is fine with me, I use an extender to work with my phone and am a short person so I was hoping for a shorter pair. I think I will order them and if no one responds by the time they come I will let you know. I have been looking at these, they have an extender that might be useful to you:http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-Ear-Headphone-Black/dp/tech-data/B000WOIG8C/ref=de_a_smtd

They're not officially noise cancelling but the sound is so rich, full bodied and clean that you cannot hear much of anything else. Leakage is the same. I love these headphones. I've seen pioneer for so many years and wanted to our case something other than beats. I'm so glad I did. I really love them.
