What are each of their purposes for audiophiles like me?

Headphones are over the ear.
Earphones are in ear.
Headphones have more functions, and are less compact. They have better sound IMO.
Earphones are more compact, but less functions compared to the headphones. Most have better noise cancellation (in ear earphones) but some are not, they don't cancel ambient noise outside and they leak sound.
