Headphones are a pair of transducers (devices that convert one form of energy to another) that receive an electrical signal from a media player or receiver and use speakers placed in close proximity to the ears (hence the name earphone) to convert the signal into audible sound waves.
Canalphones:
Canalphone are earbuds that sits directly inside the ear canal.

Although canalphone offer portability similar to earbuds, it often acts as an earplug to block out environmental noise.
Sony ericsson is using canalphone in its latest walkman series phone.
Cirumaural:
Circumaural headphones have pads that go around the ears. They are usually very large and very comfortable. This is the type commonly used in recording studios and among audio enthusiasts. Circumaural headphones are the kind that wrap your ears completely, they are high on audio fidelity, and are designed to cancel out all the noise from outside. Such headphones are usually used by DJs and audiphiles.

Supra-aural:
Supra-aural headphones are much like circumaural, only the pads go on top of the ear, making them lighter and smaller. They may have circled pads, much like circumaural headphones, only smaller and go on top of the ear.

Earbuds/Earphones: 
Earbuds are headphones of a smaller size that are placed directly outside of the ear canal, but without fully enveloping it. They are generally inexpensive and are favored for their portability and convenience. However due to their inability to provide isolation, they're not capable of delivering the precision and rang of sound offered by any full-sized headphones and canalphones.
