I'm wondering if it is the case that if the ambisonic recording is made with in-ear microphones then earbuds would make more sense, and if it's done with microphones outside the ear (clipped on the sides of the head or above the ear) then over-the-ear headphones would work. I record using microphones over the ear and I find that playback using closed back over-the-ear headphones works the best.
