Do these completely surround the ears or do they rest on top? How tight are they compared to the non-compact version?

Are these good for Louder INDOOR Shooting Ranges? Indoor ranges are MUCH louder then outdoor ranges or activities ... anyone use to shoot indoors while multiple guns are being shot beside you along with your own at the same time? Any feedback on that situation would be great. Thanks.

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

Mine completely surround my ears and I don't have tiny ears, also mine fit snug not overly tight , that said I've had some comfortability issues after an hour or so but are more comfortable than a more expensive pair of dewalts I own. Hope this helps.

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

Starting from large to small, over ear headphones cover all of the ear, surrounding the whole thing including a bit of hair on the side of your head. You've likely seen professional artists that wear over ears for recording sessions, or radio announcers and DJ's that use them. On ear phones are smaller and rest on top of the ear itself with minute spaces where the seam isn't perfect. There is some noise reduction, but not like overears. In ears are often called "buds", because they are very small and insert into the ear canal like a hearing aid.

Alex is correct. The ear pieces rest on top of your ears, nothing goes inside the ear. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, these headphones go over and around the ear and seal to the sides of your head. Although they are not noise-cancelling, I find that they block out most of the ambient noise. I like these headphones a lot but they are fairly heavy.

I find them very comfortable. The speaker part fits into the ear canal and the remainder of the earbud rests in the outer rim of the ear. I also disliked the way the earbuds that came with my iPod worked as they wouldn't stay in my ears unless I really squashed them up in there. These are shaped more like the ear is shaped so they're comfy to wear and don't just fall out.

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.

They really don't actually! Thanks to the various sizes inserts, you pick the one that fits your ear best! I've ran with them in and they've not fallen out once, they may needed readjusting here and there but nothing major!

The padding is a tight oval so unless you are an elf with thin pointed ears they will lie ON the ears and not AROUND them. I just returned mine because of this and because the first answer to this question said over ear which they are NOT. Other then that seemed like a good product.

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

Let me add this after reading other's reviews. They actually cover most of the ear and the very comfortable padding sit on parts of your ear to be exact. I apologize if I gave you wrong information. But to me it just lays on my upper and very little on my ear lobes. You do NOT need th try to stretch them out with a pillow. You want them snug, but not to tight. If too loose you will lose the Bass part of songs. Find a comfortable pillow and lay back and enjoy the music. Over time the material will get use to your head size. Hope that explains it in my opinion.

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.

Because these are closed back, they isolated very well for me... almost couldn't hear anything with them on... however, in terms of size... the earmuffs run a little on the small side... so for me they sat on top of my ear rather that over them... after a few hours of gaming they began to ache which caused me to return them and go with something different. the sound quality is great and the sound stage is expansive.

Yes, they are very light and just enough tension to keep them positioned over the ears. I'm very sensitive with anything tight on or around my head, these are great!

They fit in the ear really nicely. They aren't invisible when you've got them in but also don't go around your ear at all. I'd say they're just about right, but that could just be my opinion

They fit around the back of your neck then each of the ear pieces loop around the ear. I have purchased 4 of these for 4 different people including myself and none of us have had an issue with tightness.

My head is perhaps larger than average, so my answer is indirect. The ear muffs completely surround the ears, so my guess is that they will stay on because your ears, not the rest of your head, will hold them on. This is my hunch
