Headphones (also known as earphones, earbuds, stereophones, headsets, or by the slang term cans) are a pair of tiny
loudspeakers, or less commonly a single speaker, with a way of holding them close to a user's
ears and a means of connecting them to a
stereophonic or
monophonic, or
binaural audio-frequency signal source such as an audio
amplifier,
radio, etc. In the context of
telecommunication, the term headset is used to describe a combination of headphone and
microphone used for
two-way communication, for example with a
telephone.
