    Debate!

    It's only a simple question of preference, but it's still a debatable issue:

    HEADPHONES





    OR


    EARPHONES




    I'm a bit undecided on the issue right now. I've been borrowing a pair of really nice headphones from my roommate and they pretty much ruleeeeeeee.

    Earphones makes my ears hurt, the sound is crappier and they break more easily. The only thing they've got going for them is that you don't look stupid wearing them, more practical during workout too.

    Neither, they all end up hurting my ears in the end.

    They're only more practical if they actually stay in, of course.

    I prefer headphones, definitely, for the same reasons as Lev listed along with the fact that I don't like the idea of shoving something into my ears. I particularly don't like it when people offer me their earphones to listen to their music. Ew.

    Those little earbuds are terrible. When I got my iPod, the first thing I did was put the earbuds in a drawer somewhere and use my headphones.

    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

    I feel like an alien being wearing headphones all the time. It's usually huge. I like earphones better, because I can hide it inside my hair and listen to it while in class or something.

    I'm pretty ambivalent when it comes to this. I like both, although I don't own any headphones at the moment.

    Headphones have better sound quality, in my opinion. Earphones just hurt after a while.

    smurfing headphones are good for staying in but earphones are good when you are laying down.
