which do you like, the earphones (portable) or headphones (just like in the picture that covers your ears) or earplugs that sits on you ear canal? i have a headphone for my computer, its A4tech AH810, its really dirt cheap about 8$ but pack a punch with very deep bass. as for my portable player i use ordinary earphones. how about you?

When I'm out and about, I like earphones better, they are more comfortable. When I'm home though, it's headphones. Earphones can't even come close to the bass response or depth of tone that you get with headphones.

yup when it comes to deep bass earphones don't even come close. though i wonder how an earplug compares to headphones.

Earphones all the way. I find them way more comfy plus I think they're way more OK for wearing on the street (usually the headphones look ridiculous :) ). I use headphones at work and earphones both with my laptop at home and with my iPod.

i have to agree with you, headphones do look ridiculous in the streets, especially those big ones.

I prefer the headphones. The one I have its got the volume where i can turn it up and I have to use it because I am hard-of-hearing. I was born deaf since birth. I can hear alittle. Have a great day.

I recently bought an ipod and I got some head phones with it and some that were bought for me that you stuff right in your ear with special soft cones for doing it. But they won't stay in my ears no matter how I try. I have to use the ones that came with the ipod for now and am going to get a pair of the ones that hook round your ears as they will hopefully be more comfortable and not keep falling out when I walk as they are designed for sport.

I prefer head phone when listen to music because ear phone to listen music is not good to me. But when small things or not important or funny music then ear phone because I have to listen other talk or discussion of my family members...lol

i like earphones coz its not heavy in the head. People can't even notice that you are wearing it. When it comes to volume i know we can control it in our player so there not much problem. But we have to be sure that we are making the volume regulated at all time coz we might damaged our ears for long time usage of this.

depends on what im doing.. when im taking calls (customer rep) i prefer the headphones coz that'll allow me to hear better, but if im listening to music especially when walking around (in public) i prefer the more discreet earphones... and also i can hide it from our supervisors,.. coz radios and cellphones arent allowed inside the production floor! n_n

I prefer earphones for when im out somewhere, as they are a lot simpler and not picked up by teachers as easy :p but i prefer the big headphones when im on my computer, they have volume on them and they actually feel comfier than earphones.

well i prefer earphones over head phones because they are less bulky and compact and i also think that the sound quality of earphones is much better than headphones,you can keep them in your pocket when ever you feel like and take them out when ever you want to listen to music and that is so hassle free as compared to headphones!!!!!!!
