Earphones are little devices that fit into your ears and let you listen to things like music or podcasts. They have a long cord that connects to your phone or music player so you can hear everything that's playing. When you put the earphones in your ears, they make sound vibrations that travel through the little wires and into your ear. You can adjust the volume by using the buttons on your phone or music player. So, earphones are like little speakers that you wear in your ears to listen to your favorite things without bothering anyone else around you.
