>are telling me that if I constantly do this, it will be really bad for my ears in the long run

Do your parents also tell you not to swallow gum or it'll stick to your heart? Or not to make yourself cross eyed or you'll go blind? It's only bad if you listen at high volumes

>Does the choice between earbuds and headphones matter?
Headphones are better for home use. Earbuds/IEMs for portable

>less squeezing on the head
1. Get better headphones or 2. Put your headphones on an object as you would on your head e.g Put your headphones on a box or something. It goes away over time anyways

I wish I could sucker punch your other two replies.

Using IEMs WILL damage your hearing. I know because Ive done it to myself. I hear ringing in my ears right now as I type this. Im a little older and got into earbuds a long time ago when they were new. I used to wear earplugs to concerts to protect my earing. I had no idea that iems would do it.

Google it. Theres a bunch of primary research out there proving iems at volume WILL hurt you. Please go read it. Its no wives tale, your parents are trying to help you. I recently toldmy father who was using a pair. A pair of cans is way safer.

Source? Good IEMs provide isolation, allowing you to listen at lower volumes. Chances are you just blasted the volume

To be honest, I think my parents just don't want me listening to music when I'm doing stuff because it's distracting or something. I mean, my dad himself sometimes uses Bluetooth earbuds.

Are Audio-Technica good headphones? I'm trying to stretch them out by putting them over a few books, but I don't want to over stretch them and break them or something.
