Earphones or Headphones? That is the question.
It’s the same as asking someone if they’re PC or Mac…I used to be indifferent. I only had a preference when it came to certain activities. For example, I dislike headphones (w/ squishy cushions) when I work out – why? Because if I sweat, its nasty. It absorbs it and its just nasty to me. To work out, I prefer the ones that wrap around your ear, and go (slightly) into your ear. They’re the most comfortable, and don’t block out all the noise around you, which helps, especially if you’re running outside, crossing streets, etc…
Noise cancellation headphones/earphones are great on the plane because there is just so much noise on it. It helps me focus, concentrate, sleep, block out where I’m at, etc. I also use them on the train. The noise cancellation headphones I wear are very uncomfortable to sleep in though because they’re so big. I still attempt it though – every since time I have them.
I was never an earbud wearer, and I’m not quite sure why, but I just never really owned my own pair. Radius sent CuteGeek their Radius Atomic Bass Earphones and the first thing that came to mind was “woohoo – no more huge carrying case!”
