An earbud is a tiny speaker you rest in the opening of your ear to listen to music, a call, or a video. People often wear them as a pair, one in each ear, with a wire or with no wire (Bluetooth). Younger speakers now say earbud more than earphone for this small in-ear kind; the big cups that sit over the whole ear are headphones, not earbuds. Though actually, shops mix the words, and some people also call the soft rubber tip an earbud. It is an everyday pocket-noun, not a medical word. Countable: one earbud, a pair of earbuds.
入耳式耳機。口語「耳塞」也有人說,但「耳塞」在台灣更常指睡覺、游泳用的隔音塞,不一定是耳機。
組成ear + bud. A bud is the small round start of a flower; here it pictures something small and rounded that sits in the ear.
