Which do you prefer, headphones or earbuds?

earbuds dont fit or stay in my ears. maybe my ears have an abnormal shape?

Really depends, for listening to my ipod on the go I prefer earbuds but for gaming or listening to music at home I prefer headphones for their better sound quality.

Headphones are way better but earbuds are easier carry around

I prefer those earbuds that go inside your ear. The sound is amazing.

Head phones, i like the look and they are more comfortable!

A few things to take into consideration... First and foremost location - For example if I'm at work or somewhere where I need to have a bit of awareness on what is happening around me I tend to lean towards earbuds. I pull the ole 'One in One out' trick. If I need to hear if the boss is coming, or babysitting and want to make sure no one is torturing the cat again. But for the times that I need total immersion (I choreograph dance) or need to block out the outside (study time) I go for the full fledged headphones, usually my Beats. Also a matter of what I'm listening to. Dubstep = Headphones vs Lecture = Earbuds.
