I just did a google search for "best earbuds" to see if i could find any recent articles doing comparisons, but kept finding lists of in-ears being referred to as "earbuds".
Because that's what they are? lol. I think buds are the ones like the apple phones that don't go into the ears.
IEM/CIEM stand for In Ear Monitor and Custom In Ear Monitor, respectively. They go inside of your ears. Customs are fitted specifically for your ears through ear impressions from some place like an audiologist.
