Earbuds? or over-the-ear headphones?

Which do you prefer for your music player?

I guess it's situational for me. If I'm mowing the yard, over-the-ear noise-cancelling headphones are a must. If I'm walking outdoors, ear-buds are my preferred headphones.

But I'm super careful about volume with all types of headphones. I'd like to preserve my hearing.

    I don't like the "feel" of the noise cancelling earbuds. They make my ears feel clogged. I know they exist. Maybe I should power through it and force myself to get used to it. Might just work out for my lawn mowing days.

    Noise cancelling headphones always makes me dizzy (inner ear problem I guess) but I like over the ear giant stereo headphones for working at my desk/general use around the house and earbuds for mobile music, mostly because the stereo headphones will make you even more sweaty while you work out + fall off a lot, I've tried lol

    i have jbuds 2 they were like $8 on amazon. They aren't the most comfortable in the world, but they have different size coverings that makes it much easier to adjust with whatever activity you're doing.

    im all over the place. At home I have big can over the ears, at the gym I either use my older Bluetooth HT820 or sometimes the S10 but just recently got some bluetooth buds that seem to hold in well. My problem with most buds is they fall out. Either too small or too big.

    This! It's like a a life long quest to find a pair that will fit properly. Needs to have inline volume and advance buttons too so I don't have to fish my phone out to change the song.

    I prefer over the ear. Buds are always uncomfortable for me.

    I'm sure there higher quality ones around, but those suit my needs just fine.
