Circumaural

Surrounding the ear. This term simply means that something surrounds the ear; it is commonly used in reference to headphones. Many high-quality headphones surround the ear in order to shut out exterior noise and create a more direct path for the sound to the listener’s ear. These circumaural designs cover the ears with pads made of some sort of soft material such as foam covered in cloth, velvet, leather or another material.
