There are two definitions for "Handles"-

In the "general" context, it would be audio that is before and after a audio region- IE said region can be "openned" to reveal hidden audio.

In the "Post" world, it refers to the amount of audio that precedes and follows a particular audio element. This is most commonly required for production dialog recordings, as the handles will allow the re-recording mixer to more easily blend the different sound recordings which make up the track. Those handles allow for smoother transistions from one mic angle to another.
