At least we share the connotation of "connect to my earphone/earbuds" :-). Maybe after Elon Musk is done with wiring our brains, this may become real ! | |

Earphones for the small ones that fit inside your ear, or Headphones or the larger kind that sit on your head. To put my earphones in/on - both sound natural to me. I have never heard anybody say "let me connect to my earphones", because that would lead me to believe they either have bluetooth built into their brain, or a 5mm jack in the side of their head. Too weird, but funny LOL | |
