I actually think earphones have better sound quality, but ive heard theyre worse for your ears than headphones.

I use headphones for my computer and earphones for my mp3 player. Its hard for me to choose between them because they both have alot of pros and cons. Headphones are bad in terms of portability to me so theyre perfect for the computer and the earphone wire is too short and it would be bad for my ears considering i am at my computer for very long periods of time.

Though once I got this double wire thing that allows me to attach 2 sets of audio output devices into one socket, and i put my earphones on and put the head phones over them. Now THAT was an incredible sound experience. Clarity of earphones with the power of headphones
