Hey guys. I want to know whether you prefer earbuds or headphones. Me personally, it depends on what I'm doing. If I'm working out, I prefer my wireless headphones, but if I'm at home watching YouTube, I prefer earbuds. How about you?

Both. I'm just the opposite. When active I like buds and when sitting etc full size over the ear ones.

Good Listening

I don't like headphones at all; they make me uncomfortable. I tried them once since my uncle bought them as a birthday gift but since then, I have stuck to my earbuds.

bcharlton, I can understand not liking them. They do make my ears hurt sometimes when I wear them for too long.
Gofar, I find that a lot of people like to use them in the opposite way of me.

I genuinely prefer the earbuds. This is mainly because I always have a lot of noise Surprised going on the background and they seem to block it out.

I prefer earbuds myself. The headphones always seem to get sweaty and uncomfortable. Earbuds on the other hand fall out sometimes. So what's better? I still think earbuds!

I'm with you on this. I prefer headphones when I'm travelling for long distances. Earbuds are more comfortable and I guess cheaper? Like you said, the only disadvantage of earbuds is the fact that they fall out easily. Nonetheless, I think this is something we can live with.

Wow. It's crazy how some people really dislike headphones, but love earbuds and vice versa. I think I've always liked them equally for different things.
