Ear buds, or headphones?

Ear buds. The headphones never seem to fit, always fall down or are otherwise uncomfortable. Sometimes, they get tangled in my hair. The really nice ones that cover the whole ear and give great sound always end up in a fight with the bows of my glasses, and make my glasses uncomfortable to wear.

Headphones. I've never figured out how people keep those earbuds in.

Ditto - have tried several and none of them stay in where I can hear anything.

Depends. If I'm at my desk, my headphones are great.

I have learned to sleep with music, Pandora on my iPhone, and I use really comfy padded ear buds for that purpose.

Well, headphones don't end up with wax on them....

Headphones for listening at home; earbuds when on the move. Headphones are more comfortable but I find they tend to fall off when moving around.

-- Steve finds he also tends to kill his earbuds; the last pair was from Sennheiser and It stung to accidentally wreck $99 hardware.
