The use of headphones on a shoot is to monitor the sound level and quality and listen for external problems. Most shoot conditions won't allow you to develop a detailed and critical estimate of the sound. There is just too much going on too rapidly.

I have to use earbuds with my on-the-shoulder camera and I don't have any more problems (surprises) than (or less) than when I wear my hardshell headphones or my Sony noise-cancelers.

I think the critical and focused (mental focus) ear is more important than the particular model and brand of headphone.

Why do they call them headphones rather than earphones?

Thanks for the advice, Mike.
