Does anyone know the terms for traditional in-ear earphones that sit slightly outside your ear canal vs the ones fashionable nowadays that you stick all the way in with foam or rubber caps? Cannot find any consistent names to distinguish these even though they are totally different.

I cannot use the ones you stick all the way inside, but it's really difficult to find search terms for the traditional kind.

EDIT: Searching for earbuds or earphones doesn't work, shows ones that go all the way in. I'm trying to find the other kind?

EDIT 2: FOUND IT! Apparently they are called "flathead" earphones?
