Yeah, I've heard that the on ear ones are better than the around ear, that you don't lose as much sound with the on ears.
Earbuds straight up suck. Apple earbuds are SOO BAD. You barely get any bass from anything, and they never stay in your ear. But I hate how in general, earbuds break so often, they get tangled up, and if they have those rubber things that go in your ear, you can lose those easily. I figured if I buy $180 nice headphones, I'd end up saving money on always having to buy $40 crappy earbuds.
