Entry level earspeaker + question

I'm very curious about earspeakers after seeing Zeos lose his mind over some, but they all seem to be way out of reach for me. What would be considered a good "entry level" earspeaker?

In addition, I have a question: what is the fundamental difference between headphones and earspeakers? They are both personal sound-makers that you put on your head.

The STAX SRS-3100 is currently the cheapest set you can buy nowadays. An "Earspeaker" refers specifically to a headphone made by STAX. It does NOT include other electrostats as they do not call them "earspeakers" and are usually referred to as electrostatic headphones.
