Is the difference between an open kernel type earphone just a difference in design or fit?

Among the types of earphones, there are two types of earphones, an open kernel type.

Is the difference between the two just the design or the fit?

I've never used a kernel type.

It's good for people who fit well with the kernel type.

I heard it's quite uncomfortable if it doesn't fit well.

The kernel type covers the ears more, so it might be uncomfortable, but if it fits well, you can hear the sound better

When it comes to ear health, it's good to be open

I used the kernel type, but I moved on to the open type for ear health
