Some questions about headphones
1.Even if it's an overhead headphone, it's still "ear 'bud'" when it comes to describing one side of the headphones???? (I thought only the in-ear headphones are called "EAR BUDS", nobody even calls them headphones in my experience)
2.Just as mentioned above, I usually will not use the word headphone in singular form because there are always two of them.Am I right?

A set of stereo headphones consists of two cups, left and right, and a padded headband. The ones that just sit on your ears without covering them have two earpieces, or you could call them the speakers. A headset might have only one earpiece, a headband, and a microphone.
