Personally, I prefer earbuds as they are easier to exercise with.

headphones, I can't put stuff in my ears.

Although I can't wear headphones much really the pressure is painful for me.

But I need to when working with music.

Headphones are better in every way except portability. I have IEMs instead of earbuds now for when I’m out of the house and I think they’re a better alternative

headphones because they're more comfortable.

I do have earphones but I don't use them very often.

Elite 75t active, sadly they don't make them anymore. The new elite 7s that replaced them are trash, and bass is the reason why.

If you mean for convenience, then ear buds. Cheap, disposable, portable, and concealable.

If you want actual sound quality and not screw up your hygeine, then headphones.

All you really need in terms of a gaming or music set-up is headphones. Everything else is unnecessary in my opinion. Surround sound is kind of obnoxious and a pain to set up. So headphones seem like the best of all worlds at least when it comes to quality per dollar. Not really much of a debate there.

Dobly Atmos give some very convincing surround sounds when used with decent headphones , virtual surround sound became really good in the last few years.

Headphones, my ears do not like ear buds, and they need to be over ear.

Yeah, I meant surround sound as in the stereo set up where you have to install all the stupid giant speakers in all the corners of a room. That's so much money for so little reward.

It's weird watching a movie hearing two guys talk right next to each in a car, and the speakers make it sound like they are twenty feet apart because the sound is coming from two different speakers. It's even more unnatural watching sports with the quadraphonic sound set up, it's just a confusing garble.

Dialog only comes through center speakers.
