For MP3 players, i vote Earphones
For Computer, i vote Headphones
If i could only keep one set, to use with all, urm, it would be headphones. Cuz i dont use my MP3 player, like ever.

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."Agreed
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
I like Earphones more cause I use my MP3 player a lotttt and also I use my laptop a whole lot and a earphone just works out better.
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
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.

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.

"Headphones, much more comfortable than earphones and they have better sound quality."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.
Headphones. Earphiones look really cheap, they seem 100x worse for leaking music, and I don't have to think about getting my headphones all waxy from earwax.
Headphones are't more comfortable. You have this big piece of leather and plastic sitting on your ears, pushing your ears against your head cause its elastic....ugh! Ear buds for the win!
P.S. Actually I think normal speakers are best, but that's probably out of the scope of this argument.
