Ok, I work somewhere that has headphones. Half the people come in asking for 'earphones' and it sounds ridiculous.

So, I ask you Team Liquid.... what is this a picture of?

See thats what I thought people might have meant at first, but we dont have those where I work (just the over the ear ones).

Even then, I call them all headphones.

just wondering... since you deal with headphones, what is the best headphone for under $100?
first of all, i want something comfortable even if i was going to where it for over 3 hours, good bass, basically the best for under $100.

People have different words for cats.

When you encounter one of these differences, you can, if you really want to, take it as an occasion to congratulate yourself on your own superb choice in pet nomenclature and to denigrate the words others have so lovingly chosen for theirs. You can do that. Lot of folks do.

I hope, though, that you get tired of doing that eventually and just accept the fact that people have different words for cats. You might even, hey, come to appreciate a little variety after a while.

Those things in the picture are headphones.

The little things you put in your ear that go around your ear are earphones.

The even littler things you put in your ear that are mostly concealed are earbuds.
