So an IEM is an In Ear Monitor, which is like an earbud but it seals off the ear canal. This was originally intended to be used by musicians onstage but audiophiles have found them, they’re quite great

Yeah, that’s one of the things that pulls people to headphones. Comfort is also a factor. Also a good set of headphones just feels so much more substantial than a pair of in ears
