I tend to say "speaker in airtight enclosure", as opposed to baffled, since technically, the "baffle" is the front face of a speaker enclosure, in fact, speakers should be tested on an "infinite baffle" for publishing specifications.

There is also possible confusion with the term "adding baffles" within a speaker enclosure, to "lengthen" the distance the back wave travels, usually in an attempt to add bass to a small enclosure and reduce internal reflections.
