Traffic laws are made by states, so there is no single answer for the whole of the US.

In most places, double earphone cannot be used while operating a vehicle, but one earphone or a telephone head piece can.

No. As long as you have 'proper control of the vehicle' such as hands on the steering and concentrating on the road. There is no issue with listening to music, whether it be from the car stereo speakers or headphones. That's not to say that excessive volume from the car speakers could be classed as 'anti social'.

Most stats don't mention the plugs, but a few states write laws to make extra revenue IMO. Most motorcyclist understand that wind noise will destroy a riders hearing and that wearing hearing plugs designed for riding i.e. reduces the disables enough to avoid the damage. You will still hear everything you would need to hear. Just make certain of your states or any other state, city, county or village that you plan to ride in has your best health in mind.

You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction since the laws vary. You should also keep in mind regardless of the law that wearing ear plugs would inhibit your ability to hear approaching emergency vehicles. It is a bad idea on many levels. You can check the state laws at the link below. The various laws cover earplugs, headsets, and earphones.

Will all 3.5 mm earphones work on all 3.5 mm phones?

Yes, and no. You will be able to LISTEN to the phone (i.e. play music) on any earphones, but you won't be able to TALK on the phone unless your earphones/buds have a microphone built in. Look at the plug to find out whether or not you have a microphone. Listen-only earphones have 3 conductors: the tip of the plug, the sleeve (the longest metal part), and a single ring in between the tip and the sleeve. Earphones with a microphone have 4 conductors, and TWO rings between the tip and the sleeve.

They both serve the same purpose, to allow you to listen to music. The differences are, that earphones are bud-shaped and designed for being placed inside the ear. While headphones have larger circular speakers which go over the top of the ears.
