Always circumaural—hate pressure on the ears. In most environments, I’m happy with closed-back for isolation (without additional noise cancellation). I am using Ultrasone HFI-550 headphones, and I really love them. I definitely would recommend the company, although these are a decade old, and I expect they’ll have different model numbers now. If I were shopping for Ultrasone’s these days, I would have a good look at their in-ear models as well. I believe they’ve made a lot of advances on that front.
