Do these headphones have ear cups that go completely over the ear? Or does the pad press on the front of the ear?

Simple answer is no. The cushions press on the edges of the ear. That said, they are very comfortable.

The headphones have "on the ear" pads, not over the ear. They still have great sound.

The pads press on the front of the ear and do not go completely over the ear.

Don't know. I returned them. Didn't like the way they rested on my ear. Ended up getting headphones that rested over my ear, not on.

I love EVERYTHING about the headphones EXCEPT they don't fit over my ears. My ears are 2.25 x 1.25 inches and the headphones have an inside diameter of 1.5 inches so they sit on the top part of my ear and hurt after about 10 minutes.

I have warn them for 4 hours without too much discomfort. They are well padded, and my ears fit completely inside the cups, so nothing is pressing on them.

I think my ears are average. They fit over my ears very comcomfortably. I think the headphones still have some room. The pads are not pressing on my ears.

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.

What do you mean? They sit over the ears and on them. Not in the ear or behind the ear. They are headphones they sit one on each ear.

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.

Not quite all the way around the ear. They touch a little bit. They are great head phones.

They are contoured and for them to fit properly they must go over the ear not under. These are not tiny little ear buds that fit inside your ear. They are probably 1" long and 75% of that remains outside the ear. They also have some good weight to them and placing them over the ear gives you support and keeps them from hitting the ground if they are ever accidentally dislodged. I would hate to see a grown man cry because his $300 ear buds were damaged because they fell off and got damaged.

Contact BOSE directly - they will create a case for you and reply very quickly. I have fairly large ears ..and these go completely over the ears and barely touch my ears. So, they are designed to 'cup' over each ear and not sit on top as to crush or flatten the ear down like some will do;

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

Yes they do completely surround ears. They don't feel tight to me. Haven't tried non-compact version.

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)

They are no more or less comfortable than the ones you can order from Bose. I find that the headphones with either makers earpads tend to squeeze my glasses into the area above my ears, and for me, that gives me a headache after a period of extended use, but the Bose earpads did that as well
