I have not tried those. Maybe they work great, but I'd find it harder to psychologically trust my environment if my ears were covered. Having my ears open to the environment means that I don't have to merely trust that some kind of noise mixing technology works perfectly.
As far as anything like an earbud goes, I don't know if the shape of my ears is a bit unusual, but I cannot run with anything like an earbud without having the earbud slip out frequently. I need something like a headphone to avoid having to constantly fidget with my ears.
Just my personal experience.
