Headphones: Improve the listening experience with larger drivers. They will be in ear cups that cover the ears. Provide better sound quality and noise isolation due to their larger size and design. These are great for long listening sessions at home, in the office, or in a studio. Those places focus on comfort and sound quality. Earbuds: Compact and lightweight, fitting directly into the ear canal. Portable and convenient for on-the-go use, exercise, and travel. They may offer less noise isolation and worse sound. But, they are often more comfortable for long wear and for active lifestyles.
