Usually when you have a smaller speaker, you sacrifice the low end, but earbuds seem to manage to deliver substantial bass nonetheless. I assume the proximity to the eardrum helps, but I don’t fully understand how.

Because they are so close to your ear, they don’t need to do it at nearly the same volume as a 15, 12 or even 10” speaker would in a room. (The driver excursion or back and forth movement is much, much smaller)
With an earphone driver so close, the driver moves an almost imperceptible amount so it can cleanly produce sounds without falling apart. Even so, you can hear there is comparatively less bass to be heard compared to over the ear headphones. If that makes sense to you, I’ll elaborate on the magnets and how the kind of magnet influence the sound and efficiency.
