The electronic “active” aspect of noise canceling can be just as good in earbuds as over-ears. Over-ears, however, offer many people a better seal against the outside world. Or at the very least, they're less seal-dependent compared to in-ears.
Regardless, both models fit in a tiny case that can fit in any pocket. So for ease of carrying and ease of wearing, I think in-ears are the way to go. The main reasons over-ears are great are overall noise reduction and comfort. For a lot of people, wearing earbuds for a long time just isn't comfortable.
