Do people still use buds? I see more disadvantages with buds. You can't get a decent seal, and therefore you can't expect decent bass. This was the factor for the ibuds. Also, not having the enough isolation raise ambiance noise level, and if that level is high enough you'd have to compensate with louder volumes.
One of the biggest factor that affects sound for small monitors is fit, and buds are not the ones that gives you that.
Well, the disadvantage you mention not being able to create a decent seal, is for me atleast a earbuds greatest strength.
My ears cannot tolerate sealing my earchanal off for a extended period wich causes issues. Hence a earbud resting in the outer ear is a valid option for me if i dont want to use my headphones.
Also the performance of buds has greatly improved the last couple of years. That combined with more walletfriendly prices makes buds a great option to consider.
