Personally I've always preferred the sound quality of closed back over ear headphones, but earbuds absolutely are more convenient when on the go. I've actually found one set of earbuds that that I'm happy with for travel, etc. Surprisingly they were an airport purchase but turned out to be really good for the money (less than $50) and that's the Skullcandy Titan.
Pretty sure they've been discontinued, but I just noticed that they can still be found all over the net for under $30.
Might give them a try and then shop around for high quality over-ears when the convenience of mobile matters less than sound quality.
