I used to be a stage and studio musician, and I still use customs outside of that context. I’m just saying that if I’m talking to someone about casual listening, there’s no way I’m specifying “IEMs” over “earbuds”. IMO same kind of energy as saying “I used my Arch desktop” when you could say “I used my computer”
They’re IEMs, and earphones are a colloquialism. Nobody is stuck up if they call it an IEM, if someone doesn’t know we extrapolate for them. I don’t see the problem.
I am an IEM enjoyer (used to own Softears but don’t need them anymore), and I use Debian.

A true Debian user would never tell us that they use Debian. They would say they use Debian Testing’. BTW.
