headphone
This term refers to the hardware used for private audio consumption. While the word is technically singular, it is frequently used in a collective sense to describe the entire device, even though the device consists of two separate earpieces. In common speech, people often say "my headphone" when they mean the entire set, though "headphones" is the more standard form for the device as a whole.
Because the device is designed for two ears, it behaves similarly to words like scissors or glasses. While it can be used as a countable noun to refer to a single earpiece or a specific model, it is most often encountered in the plural form to describe the functional unit.
