Are they On-Ear Headphones or Over-the-Ear ones?

The JVC are on-ear headphones, but with lots of padding. They do not cover or enclose the ear, which is my definition of over the ear headphones.

On ear headphones are more like the old school ones from the eighties, where they lay right on your ear, except now much more comfortable. The over ear headphone go over your whole ear so it is nestled inside the padding. Hope this helps.

Neither. But they are good basic headphones. I use them more than any others I have regardless of price.

Yes, they are over the ear and the build quality is good, doesn't feel cheap. I have not used any turtle beach headsets to compare to buy I do sound great! Hope that helps!

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.

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.

These are over the ear headphones that completely surround the ear with padding. Also, the sound quality is very good. Not too bass oriented like some of the popular music headphones and more balanced for TV/Movie watching on whatever device you're using.

I bought them for my girlfriend and I must say that they fit her pretty much over the ear. I do believe they're supposed to be designed to go above the ear though. Buy them! The sound is quality!

Well James, in my experience, they will sit on them. For an over the ear "experience" I would recommend: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHB7000-28-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B00CAJOOWE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1V5ZKM9CVNYP9TPWX8DS They are "over the ear", I use mine every day and can recommend them. The other Bluetooth headphones that I've been looking at are: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTPHK5W/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3H4JW6BJYRVY3&coliid=I2CE187IDYAQQ3 But I have no personal experience with them. Good Luck John

You might consider over ear headphones � if you are very sensitive. But my son loves the ear buds.

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.

The only headphone that I know does that is Bose. The over the ear noise cancellation ones are awesome.

Sure, they are over-the-ear headphones. I've used them on a plane and found them fine. They won't beat a good pair of noise canceling headphones, but are decent.

These are not noise-cancelling headphones. They are also "on-ear" headphones so the noise isolation is not as good as "over the ear headphones."

They sit on the ear, not around it. The cushions are soft. If you have sensitive ears and hard spectacles, you will notice on-the-ear headphones.

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.
