Polls: Headphones vs. Earphones

As the battle for on-the-go audio domination continues with giants like Beats by Dre, Shure, Sennheiser, WeSC and Urbanears, and others commanding strong presence, the options for premium headphones or earphones are increasing heavily. For some the preference towards “headphones,” that are offered in “over-the-ear” or “on-ear” models, stems from a desire to hear deeper lows and mids as well as listen with a greater sound reduction from outside noise. For others, the increasing quality that is being added to the audio drivers of “earphones” and other similar in-ear buds is sufficient as it provides both a substantial audio quality with the added unassuming aesthetics. While the differences in audio quality are subjective and up to preference, it is hard to argue against the fact that the two options inherently do possess different audio intonations. Which do you prefer, Headphones or Earphones?

Looking back at our last post in which we asked, “Do You Use “Cloud” Services?” the majority of people responded with “Yes,” which held 53.3% of the vote, while 46.7% stated “No.”
