I have not had an issue with the sound. But the problem with ear buds (well for me, given my history with my ears, many operatoins when I was a very young child) I can not use ear buds as they very quickly start to cause my ears to hurt (a lot) For a few people ear buds don't work, so for me I will always be stuck with over the ear earphones. But i never had an issue with the sound of the bose.

Same, earbuds make it feel like I’ve jammed Legos in my ear. The sound quality is usually significantly worse too. There are good, high-quality in ear speakers… but for like $800. Otherwise, over-ear blows them out of the water.
