Is there a difference between earphones that completely encompass your ear or those that just cover them. The Bose ones do but it looks like the Sennheisers do not. Any feedback appreciated.

The in your ear block out noise and are very good at it. The over the ear block and cancel noise. The ear buds are not comfortable (for some people) but are better if you listen and sleep (you can roll your head) and more compact. The better over the ear provide IMHO better overall sound, generally can be used longer (better omfort), and easier to transfer from person to person.
