What are your pros and cons for noise cancelling headphones vs ear buds? (lemmy.world)

I'm considering getting a new pair since I lost my primary pair and am currently using my backup ones. Trying to figure out which type I should get.

I wear mine for extended periods of time, so over-ear headphones are an absolute must. Everything else will make your ears hurt after a while. Disadvantage is of course the price. A good one will be between $300-$500.

My ear buds did hurt my ears when wearing them for a while, but only for a week or so. After that I must have learned how to insert them better because they don't hurt any more. My cartilage certainly didn't change. Pixel Buds Pro.

I like how pocketable they are. Can pop them in at the grocery store or Walmart and listen to some music instead of all the random sounds. The noise cancellling is amazing. The fidelity is pretty OK.

I can't imagine wearing over ear headphones when trying to do chores of any kind. Maybe some small clip-ons, but none of those are noise canceling.

I'm mostly writing all this for OP's benefit, despite replying to you.

I guess it really depends on how and what you use them for. I usually don't use mine outside, like for shopping.

But for most chores at home, I can totally wear my over ear headphones. Unless you're like cleaning something where your head must be low or is moving a lot (which may cause them to slide off), it's really not a problem.

Well, I'm very tall so every chore requires bending over. Vacuuming, dishes, laundry, looking down to sweep.

I guess I kinda internalized that and assumed everyone else has the same experience.
