earphone

n.

A device that converts electric signals, as from a telephone, stereo, or radio receiver, to audible sound and fits over or in the ear. Also called earpiece.

Small, inexpensive headphones that contain a pair of tiny speakers that rest inside the ears. Packaged with many digital music players, earbuds offer poor to reasonably good sound quality, depending on brand and model. See earphones and headphones.

Earbuds

Earbuds come with many MP3 players, but do not provide the best audio quality. Using the same music player, higher-end earphones and headphones offer an entirely different experience.
