I wear hearing aids so in the ear headphones do not bother me. Kind of opposite for me. I bought over the ear wireless headset and couldn't stand wearing them. In the ear allows me to watch a movie without using theater set sound so I don't have to hear a car door slamming that sounds like a tank exploding. And when people whisper in the movie I know what they said!
Here is a site that explains open back vs closed back.
