En España solemos denominarlos "auriculares" o "cascos" (los más grandes).

Sí mi ipod es en español (España) y veo la palabra "auriculares" como "headphones" ¿tambien pueden significan "earphones"?

Sí.
It looks like these terms can mean the same thing, but some say: earphones = audífonos headphones = auriculares o cascos Others say that only the hard-of-hearing wear audífonos, but I found plenty of evidence that both terms (all but cascos) can be used for earphones or headphones. When you think about it, we use headphones as a general term. Technically, though, headphones go over the ear (auricular), earphones fit over the auditory canal, earbuds are pushed into the auditory canal, but not as far as canal-phones, and hearing aides are pushed in just as far as canal-phones. |

In Spain is not like this:
- Audífono: hearing aid (for people who doesn't hear well) - Auricular: earphones, headphones and handset. - Cascos: headphones and, sometimes, also earphones. Casco is also a helmet, but "cascos", in plural, besides helmets, mean headphones. I say that sometimes mean earphones because people say cascos instead of auriculares many times. |
