Not necessarily – it all comes down to personal preference.
Over-ear headphones are largely considered the better option for those after the best possible sound experience, as they completely cover your ears and give you a more immersive experience. They’re also generally considered to be better for your hearing health, as they block out more external noise so you can get better sound quality at a lower volume.
However, over-ear headphones are typically more expensive than in-ear buds, though budget and premium options are available for both headphone types.
In-ear buds are meanwhile more portable and less obtrusive, making them a great choice for sporty types and those who want something smaller for their daily commute. Many in-ears come with a wireless charging case too, so you can charge them on-the-go instead of waiting until you can get to an outlet.
