Ear pad or on-ear headphones rest on your outer ears and run the gamut from inexpensive portables to high-end home models. Some, but not all models fold-up for easy transport. While ear-pad headphones can have closed designs that cover the ears, they are never fully sealed as are full-size circumaural models. As a result, they're generally very comfortable and less prone to overheating ears than full-size headphones. However, they are also less effective at noise isolation than in-ear or full-size models, and offer less powerful bass compared with full-size headphones.
