They are the things we use to clean our ears - in the UK they are more usually called cotton buds. |

hi,
by Wikipedia English;
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.

When I wanna check out some vocab I just use google images.
It´s as simple as that.
Hope it helps.

earbuds are the things you stick in your ears to listen to music. They ´re on MP3 Players and those other weird sound machines teenagers are surgically attached to. When I was a kid, I ´d call them headphones. |

Earbuds are a more recent and smaller version of headphones or earphones. Instead of being joined with a plastic arc over the head, they are connected via a wire to each other and an MP3 player.
It seems everything is getting smaller as technology advances. I can ´t wait until I can log onto ESL Printables from my glasses!!! 
By the way, here in the USA we call the cotton swabs used to clean ears "Q-tips" from the brand name.
