Are you a headphones wearer or do you prefer earbuds? Our writer, Rachel McAlley who has tried both from H2O prefers headphones from a comfort perspective. However, the status quo in her household seems to be that both her fiancé and daughter prefer earbuds for ease of transport, size, and weight. So, it’s not about how they look these days (even though they are both stylish in design), but more about how they feel whilst wearing them.
Rachel McAlley says:
“After trialling both the headphones and the earbuds, I can honestly say that the headphones are a winner for me. I don’t like anything inside my ears, it’s nothing to do with earbuds per se, it’s entirely to do with my own personal preference. My fiancé likes to mow the lawn while wearing earbuds, and my daughter prefers earbuds from a space saving aspect, and they are ideal for long car journeys. So, it looks like we each have our own reasons for choosing headphones or earbuds”.
