The 'buds' in their ears are most likely "In Ear Monitors" which are used for hearing themselves AND the rest of the band while performing. Besides helping the artist hear themselves better, "In Ear Monitors" prevent feedback from occurring. Feedback is when the microphone picks up sound coming from the speakers or traditional floor monitors - which creates an infinite loop of sound that resonates at a specific frequency and sounds like a screech.

"In Ear Monitors" probably have little to do with hearing conservation since they are so close to the ear drum and have just as much potential for damaging the ears.

Musicians don't hear the music as they play it and then a few seconds later as it comes through the speakers. The actual time delay that occurs in live sound situations is in the millisecond range! And most people can't notice the delay. Any sort of "echo" that one perceives is more likely to be caused by the architecture of the performance space, and not the sound system. A delay of seconds would require a singer to be standing on a stage 1/4 of a mile long.
