I know a lot of people say opposite, but for me ear buds are more comfortable. Good over the ear headphones are don’t have any escaping music, the same way they block out external noise and over the ear are more comfortable than on the ear (which let sound escape). The downside is that you usually look like a goon with big ass headphones on but it’s work so who gives a shit. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/attn-techies-need-advice-on-good-headphones-please/266902)._
