Headphones or Earphones?

Ask a Question

Looking to buy a new pair of either headphones or earphones/earbuds but cant decide which. does one have better sound quality or does one last longer than the other. not bothered too much about brands. Wanted to know what one do you prefer and why. do you recommend a certain brand. is one more confortable than the other?

Dre beats are supposed to be the best out. I just use the free Samsung ear bud onea that come with my phone and they last me 3 years+. Ive always got my music on, just a case of looking after the wires. I have the Bluetooth ones but lost one and cant listen to music for more than a few hours without needing to remember to put them on charge x

I like both, but earphones take don't take up much space when you're out and about. For headphones I'd recommend Sennheiser or Bose and earphones Shure, but there are a lot of other good companies. Although, I'm not a fan of Beats, I view them more as a fashion accessory.

Avoid Beats. It's just a fashion label.

Apple Airpods are brilliant, i use them daily when out exercising and walking.. indoors i prefer the old fashioned type and can highly recommend the Bluedio brand, a fraction of the price of Shure and Bose but imo better sound

I like headphones, so it not goes into my ear.

The good headphones have motion sensors which if you tap on the ear pad they will stop the music so you can ear your surroundings.

Personally headphones.

Headphones for my PC and earphones for my phone, as they are more portable.

Favourite headphones tend to be Grado's purely for their sound quality. Not always the most comfortable or well made though but great sound. Can take a little while to run them in to get the best sound, they are quite large drivers I think.

I prefer headphones, although I use ear buds most of the time as I find it is more discreet, easier to carry around when out and about

If you decide on ear pods I'd recommend Cambridge Audio Melomania. They are lower priced than Apple AirPods and better sound quality. I've had mine for a month and they are absolutely awesome. Great build quality, a great fit and British made https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=cambridge+audio+melomania+1&adgrpid=70937049496&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt9O5terT6gIVUe3tCh1wMQHOEAAYASAAEgKOU_D_BwE&hvadid=350603795750&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006959&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8423520805069138174&hvtargid=kwd-769663751005&hydadcr=28183_1821137&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_4omyk2f9eg_e
