An ear seal for use in a headset, said ear seal comprising:

• an annular base providing a first surface extending between inner and outer peripheral edges of said annular base, said first surface being adapted for securing said ear seal to the headset;
• an annular foam ring adjacent said annular base;
• an annular top including a flexible sheath providing a second surface extending between inner and outer peripheral edges of said annular top, said second surface being adapted for contacting a user's head and including an inner annular surface portion, an outer annular surface portion, a crease inhibiting central annular surface portion, an inner annular groove separating said inner annular surface portion from said crease inhibiting annular surface portion, and an outer annular groove separating said outer annular surface portion from said crease inhibiting annular surface portion;
• and
• a flowable material that is captured between said foam ring and said flexible sheath.

• an inner annular surface portion having a first width;
• an outer annular surface portion having a second width;
• a crease inhibiting central annular surface portion having a third width;
• an inner annular groove separating said inner annular surface portion from said crease inhibiting annular surface portion, said inner annular groove having a fourth width that is about ⅓ the width of each of said first, second and third widths;
