Usually earbuds use one speaker for the entire range of sound output which can cause the sounds you listen to, not have deep bass, high treble, or mids depending on what the bud is tuned for. IEM's on the other hand can have several independent speakers. IEM's are not just for instrumentalists who need to hear their parts anymore. It's much more consumer based now and IMO has already made earbuds antiquated. Depending on your budget I could recommend you a pair to purchase and try out.

Depends on the size and tuning of the speaker. Headphone speakers are much larger and usually have far better tuning than most earbuds, but then again lots of headphones much like earbuds sound like shit.

It's interesting to see the downvotes though despite what I am saying is literally the truth when it comes to earbuds and IEMs. They use one speaker for the entire range of sound in each ear. Nothing I said is incorrect.

Nope, what you've just said is plain misinformation ESPECIALLY in the realm of IEMs
