Earphones are portable device and are convenient, however some people consider them uncomfortable and prone to falling out.

The earphones consist of separate units that are plugged into the ear canal of the users. In the terms of telecommunication, a headset is a combination of earphone/headphone and microphone. They either connect directly to an audio amplifier, CD player, radio, portable media player, mobile phone, electronic musical instrument, video game consoles or use wireless bluetooth technology. Earphone consists of different audio imitation quality capabilities. The headsets used for telephone cannot reproduce sound with highly reliable expensive units that are designed for listening music.

Using earphones at a high volume level may lead to permanent or temporary hearing damage or deafness. The sound volume has to compete with nearby background noise, especially in places such as subway, railway stations, aircraft, as well as in large crowds. Some portable music devices manufacturers have tried to introduce safety circuits in order to limit the output volume and warn the user when the volume used is at dangerous level. However, this concept has been rejected by majority of public who favor their personal choice of volume.
