They're perfect for in the plane on the way to and from work so as not to have to listen to the hordes going or arriving on holidays!!I've got some Bose QC35II phones for work and they're a game changer. I do stream a lot of music from my PC though as my mobile plan was pretty sh*t on data (recently rectified) so I have been planning on getting a Bluetooth USB dongle to pair the phones to my PC. Hoping that works..
To and from work for me is always long haul and wearing the headphones as opposed to ear buds is a heck of a lot more comfortable.I like the cut of your jib. Cheap products are fine if they are effective, brand labels are for the sucker class.
On a related note, can someone explain to me how and why headphones ever came back into vogue? I'm talking the bulky type that you can wrap around your neck when not in use, as opposed to earphones. I seem to remember it happening, say, a decade ago. My Dad used to rock some massive headphones back in the 70s to plug into his stereo system, but then the 80s arrived and people began, sensibly, using earplugs to plug into their walkmans (walkmen?). Headphones, when a product like airpods/earphones are readily available, seem like nothing more than a fashion accessory. Maybe that's the point?
Sounds like you might be overdoing the trimming of your ear hair. Let it grow a bit to give a bit of grip on the buds.Yep, they fall out of my ears all the time
I also wear glasses so the over the head ones also get uncomfortable over time But I prefer that to them constantly falling out.
Same boat. Sore ears, canals start to itch, wax buildup. Cans are far more comfortable.I think more for comfort. I find buds can make my ears sore sometimes. Also they probably fall out of some peoples ears easily.
I've never found a set of ear buds that neither fall out nor are very uncomfortable.I think more for comfort. I find buds can make my ears sore sometimes. Also they probably fall out of some peoples ears easily.
I find over ear have way better noise cancellation and feel like a more immersive experience - so for movies on a plane or music you are really in to.On a related note, can someone explain to me how and why headphones ever came back into vogue?

You’re a good eggWell, there seems to be a deluge of opinion that headphones serve a very useful purpose and can be superior to earphones/pods, depending on circumstances and preference. I will crawl back into my hole and re-think my life choices to this point.
I only use them for exercise so I go with the earbuds. Over ears make my head too hot but the sound quality is definitely better.Yeah if you care about sound quality/integrity there really isn’t any debate around over ears vs earbuds.
Portability is the only real reason you’d choose earbuds (it’s a big reason let’s be honest) but if the person doesn’t mind the bulk, then yeah go for it
At least we might have a winner after all of itPeople who think cricket is boring have clearly never read 8 pages of headphone chat.
