Headphones or earbuds?

[Andrew]

:rainfro Which do you prefer? When I listen to my iPod, I have earbuds. They are much more portable and aren't as clunky as traditional headphones. I agree that headphones may be more comfortable and have better sound quality, but earbuds are just so much easier to bring around. If I were listening to music at home on my computer and I had a nice pair of headphones, I would probably use the headphones instead because I would feel more comfortable. They can be so damn expensive though.:hop

headphones, i like big loud sound blocking ones
it lets people know you dont want to talk to them.

I've seen people with big clonking headphones and I always imagine they are listening to those tapes that are like "People are your friends. They are nice. No one will hurt you." to help them not be afraid of people or something. I think earbuds do a nice job at blocking the sound too. Some of the higher end ones block out all sound and have better sound quality than most headphones. I think my friend had a pair which cost over a hundred dollars.

 

[Gimmi]

yeah but the people around you think you can still hear. with the large onces that appear to block sound, people get the message.
which isnt really useful unless you're stuck using public transportation.

I love the big ****ing DJ headphones.
Although I don't have any =[

Earbuds when at work, in the morning. Headphones at night!

Nothing says "Shut the **** up, ******" better than being in the middle of a conversation, as as soon as the other person speaks, lifting your huge DJ style headphones, and putting them on and staring blankly.
trust me.

I use earbuds because of convenience. The glare I give people makes them leave me alone.

Besides, with as loud as I listen to the music, people ten feet away can distinguish lyrics (when there even are any in the song)...and most people understand that when it's that loud for bystanders, any hope of the person with the headphones in their ears actually hearing anything else is pretty much foolhardy.

For Drumming.

i'm sure it's the glar you give them, not the disgust they see in you.

Earbuds are bad for your ears if you listen to them any higher than a 2ft sound radius, btw.

 

[Wing Zero]

don't mind any of them as long they dont pull my hair out
but i do prefer head phones though i have to turn them up more then buds :/

Yeah, that could be why my hearing is so shitty nowadays. But hey, I still ace all those hearing tests.

If they see some disgust in my eyes, that also helps to repell them yes. But goddamn it, it seems like it's always when I have my headphones in that they want to bug me. I'm going to just start hitting them with my shoe when they look at me.

i prefer earbuds, but thats rare to have when i use a mic nowadays =/

i think you're making this all up.
when is the last time you left your house?

 

[Ignus]

i like the earbuds better because of the size and a lot less likely to break on you if you are packing stuff away in a bag all the time.
Headphones are nice...uhh, never becuase when im at home, i got a 5.1 surround sound system for a reason. Its loud in the house for everyone to hear so they know not to talk to me.

I wasn't listing it as one of my life's achievements. I was directly responding to SouLeSS's comment that excessive volume is bad for your ears. Stop trolling.

And Saturday.

 

[Gimmi]

Not bad, D+D convention?
and trolling? oh god no.

Getting movies for the weekend, running a few errands around town. We're painting our cabinets, had to pick some stuff up at Lowes.

You know, life stuff?
