Headphones. Then, I look like a badass with headphones bigger than the outlet that they're plugged into.

Earphones, because the sound comes straight inside instead of all over the place like most headphones do. In my experience, good earphones beat good headphones any day.

Headphones for the computer (or if I had the money, to just hook up my Zune to speakers and blast out of headphones), and earphones for on-the-go.

Yeah, I'd have to say earbuds are best for your MP3, and Headphones are good when your on the computer.

I love my bose ear phones. They're really comfortable too, they don't bother your ears even if you've been wearing them for a while. Sound is AMAZING, only problem is the 100 buck price tag :x

You need both, but you certainly have some craptakular product.

I've got Shure E3Cs that cost me $180 (ear buds) as well as
a pair of Grado SR-80 headphones ($100).  I use the Shures for
travel & on-the-go & the Grados are for casual listening on my PC
(the Grados are plugged into a custom made vacuum-tube driven
pre-amp). :-P

Headphones, thank you very much. Earphones have shitty quality(relatively), usually fall out, and are uncomfortable.

When I plug in my Shures, I can't even hear the engines of an airplane. I can't even tell if I'm moving anymore. That's how quiet &  crystal clear the sound is with the earbuds.

No offense, but that's like saying the car's outdated since the motorbike's been invented.

Depends on the situation but for the most part I take my ear buds with my MP3 Player, as for the computer.... speakers.

Headphones, they look better, more comfortable and easier to store when on the go. With earbuds you have to pluck them out of your ear, wipe off any earwax you may have left on the nasty things, wrap them up somehow, and put them away. Headphones you just roll back across your head until they on the back of your neck.

Well. I'm not going to wear headphones when i walk down the road.
I don't want to look like a spaceman.
So this goes without saying.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. I had a pair of Shure E2C inner ear phones and they were incredible, lacked a little bass but were unbelievably crisp and clear.
