Headphones perform better than earphones or in-ears.

i don't like in-ear headphones as i don't find them comfortable and some of them always fall out my ears. whereas on-ear headaches sound better (for me) and, well aren't gonna fall of my head :P

I'm sure they sound better as they block out external sounds, but they do look pretty ridiculous to say they're a fashion icon! Funnily enough, I'm sat in the school library right now and someone opposite me is wearing them. Oh if only he knew...

I have some of the in ear ones (Tour) so mine don't look silly. They look like normal ear phones :) :P

Tours stick out of your ears :P

Oh man I was about to reply before the video was up but oh wow that video is perfect.

i have fakes and real ones. i wear the fakes in and around school, and because i live in the 'dark side' of london, where 1 in 3 people get nicked, i have my real ones at home. fakes perform just as well though, and they look the same for just half the price. my brother has the earpulgs, but i dint like them, as i find most earplugs hurt my ears. i also purchased beats so i can have top quality sound, and so that the mickey doesnt get taken out of me, when i wear, toshibas, or trusts around school... id much rather have something cool, looking good, and top performance then a cheap crappy pair of headphones that dont work in one ear, look even bulkier and everyone hates
