Do the pads go around the ears or just rest on them?

The pads only rest on the ears. The seal is not tight and the design of the headphones let you hear outside noise. It is not noise-cancelling.

They are on the ear, but they are so soft you can hardly tell they are there. They are the most comfortable I've ever tried.

These include one piece that has a soft plastic cover that fits over the ear bud/speaker which makes it, in my opinion, much more comfortable!

The pads are "circumaural", completely covering the ears and are quite comfortable. The headband is set slightly (forward) off-center of the cups, a nice design as it seems to provide a more secure fit on the head without binding. For reference, the outside dimensions of each cup is 3.25"W x 4.0"L.

They are covered with a thin soft foam material. The material does not seem to be glued on and I have had one of the earpads come off. It went back on easily enough and it only happened the one time.

They cover your ears for the most part. 2 3/4 inches in diameter - round earpads.

They are just the basic foam for the earbuds. Occasionally, I will wear them for long periods throughout the day and I have no discomfort. I get these because of my ear size, they help the earbuds stay in my ears. I am not exactly sure what you mean by comfort. Does this help at all?

They completely surround the ears. I don't feel like they are too tight at all but I have never tried the non-compact version. They are very light weight and comfortable

Yes, they are over the ear. I would also say they are fairly comfortable, but they do get annoying after having them on your head for a while.

Not sure if my ears are bigger than most, but the pads do rest on parts of my ears. However, the foam they are made of is stupidly comfortable and I find I can wear them even longer than most headphones where the pads clear the ears entirely. They also do a good job of keeping the harder internal parts on the unit from resting on your ears, which is normally the things that makes headphones uncomfortable for me after a time.

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.

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

They just sit on the ear itself. Since they have no "cup" they're sort of just flat on the soft part that rests on your ear, they couldn't cup an ear, not even a small ear.

They go over top of the head, but they are very lightweight and comfortable. I switched to these from some sony behind the head phones... I dont mind the change at all.

They are fairly small, the pads are less than 2 1/2 " diameter. They are intended to fit on the ears, not around them. The spring loaded head-piece should fit the smallest of heads comfortably.

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

It has pads that rest on the ear, but also has curved "buds " in the center of those that insert a short ways into the ear canal.
