AirPods are earbuds, whereas the ones with tips that go into the ear channel are IEMs. The latter are better in every way in my opinion, but that doesn't help if they hurt. I use foam tips, they give the best seal and comfort in my opinion.

What speaks against headphones? Like on-ear or over-ear headphones.
