Sounds like a load of BS to me. Circumaural merely means that the pads go around your ears as opposed to supra-aural, which rests on your ears.

Ear coupling: circumaural * * This indicates the headphone has an open enclosure, which allows sound to escape and to enter, but also doesn't constrain the driver's movement, allowing for a more accurate reproduction. It also doesn't suffer from resonance problems. The best sounding headphones in the world in terms of accuracy of reproduction and lack of distortion are open headphones. Open, circumaural cans provide a very comfortable listening experience, especially if you are in a quiet environment |
