does these headphones sit around your ear, or over the top of them?

They sit on top of the ear. I do virtual teaching, so I wear these for four hours at a time. They don't get uncomfortably warm and they are lightweight. I don't know if there is something better, but I am pleased with them in comparison to Koss or SkullCandy.

They sit on top of your ear, not all the way around. The cups are just over 2.5" in diameter. That said, they sound amazing. They obviously don't block sound as well as a large pair, but I love mine. They last a long time too - my first pair lasted from 2006 through 2012, and I used them for hours every week.

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.

it goes over your ears, like it cups over them, not on them in all seriousness though, quality headset

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.

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

They are over the ear...circumaural. The cups are large and encircle the whole ear. They don't rest on any part of my ear. They are EXTREMELY comfortable.

There are several variations. One fits in the ear canal with a plastic piece wrapping over and behind the ear. There is also a padded earpiece that sits on one ear being held by a band going either over the top or behind the head...like headset but only sitting over one ear. The one in the ear seems loose and not too secure. There is no attachment that cups over the ear like an audiophile headphone.

I'm only guessing here, but the QC3s sit on the ear, so I imagine they would be more comfortable. The QC15s go over the ear, it seems like that would be irritating.

No, they hook over your ears. I think they're really comfortable and like them a lot.

They are over the ear, but as one reviewer said they are loud. They are like having small radios attached to your ears. People around you can hear what you are listening to if the volume is high.

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!

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.

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

Unfortunately no however you can arrange them so that they fit over your ear rather snugly. I prefer this, as the plastic ear attachments have irritated me in the past. They also have inner ear hooks that are soft that help keep the headphones in place.

Partially, depends on your ears and head. A big issue is Amazon listing these as "over ear" when they are Supra-aural (On ear).

They fit all around the ear. I have such big ears that most headphones that are over-ear don't go over my ears, but these are marvelous. The HSR-1000's are some of the most comfortable headphones out there, and they sound relatively good for the price.
