Do you find ear plugs uncomfortable as well (e.g. you don't like in-ear pressure), or are earbuds what bother your ears?

it's the earbuds that bother my ears after awhile.

The problem with headphones is they don't accommodate much head movement when you're resting your head on a headrest...it's not a perfect world
