What's your preference and why?
 
Earbuds are nice for travel, but I wear them over the ear at home. More comfortable, and they tend to have better sound quality.
 
Earbuds for me too. I don't like over the ear headphones, they are too restrictive for me. Make my ears hot.
 
Headphones for gaming/being on a computer. Earbuds when I'm mobile.
 
What's your preference and why?
Definitely over the ear. I hate earbuds because they eventually get full of wax. :( My headphones are plush, noise cancelling, and have excellent sound with deep bass. :)
 
I prefer headphones personally. Earbuds are very uncomfortable for me to wear, and they don't seem particularly hygienic to me for some reason.

What kind of headphones do you have?
 
Love them - ordered a pair - and thank you so much for the link!
No problem! :) I had a pair of PS4 Gold wireless headphones but the battery just didn't last long. These wired ones are so much better!

Thank you, again. The headphones are arriving tomorrow and I can't wait!
 
Headphones all the way. I can not stand the cost of quality earbuds to get the sound quality of basic headphones and worst of all, I hate having them in my ears. Over-the-ear headphones are my go-to, but I also use Koss's on-ear Porta Pros for travel and walking around.
 
Earphones for me. Headphones are just a bit too big and bulky for me especially when you're out and about. I want something small and easy to wear that can be carried easily.

I use Samsung Galaxy Buds when I'm out and about and I love it!
 
@zoldos: Due to arrive today but probably won't. The snow storm has pretty much snowed people in and I doubt delivery drivers get paid enough to drive around in this crap. Will update when I get them and how I like them. :)

Yeah it's hitting the northern US pretty hard. I'm in the deep south. We got some rain that turned to ice in some areas, but it melted!

No headphone delivery yesterday and understandably so. When all was said and done, we got 19.5 inches of snow :(

Wow! We had some freezing rain but it melted as soon as the sun rose.
