Earbuds versus head phones

Ear buds are ok in a pinch. I don't like putting thing into my ears. So my preference is the ear phones. Call me old fashioned.

Look at this...

whenever i use headphones for a long time,my outer ear starts paining.i find it more comfortable to use a ear bud.

I like the earbuds as long as they don't go too far into your ear. I kind of wear them loosely so that I can't go jogging with them or anything like that. But it sounds like I will go deaf if I try to listen to them when they're farther in my ear, even at the lowest volume.

I prefer to use the "old fashioned" headphones. I've not been able to find a pair of earbuds that fit properly. I can't move my head in the least bit while wearing the earbuds because they fall out or move so that I can barely hear what I'm listening to. I would like to own a pair of the Bose headphones....but probably never will because of the price.

ya well said earbuds are ok as i feel earbuds are smooth and soft and comfortable for my ears. And i will also get good frequencies and signals from them. I think many are used to that old headphones and complain about neck-aches and ear pain. They can go for earbuds......
