Earphone frequency range?
What exactly does those number mean? Does higher values have better output or is it the other way around?

It is the range of frequencies that the earphone can reproduce.
The lower number is the lowest hertz, the higher is the highest.
A young person is capable of hearing approximately 20hz - 20khz. As we age it drops to something around 15-17khz - we can't hear the high frequencies anymore.
With earphones I believe the limitation will be at the low end, so it may be best to compare earphones in this way.
The other values on the specifications will describe the output power handling in watts, this value determines how loud the earphones will go before distorting (assuming your amplifier, usually a portable player, can output at these levels).

Those no. are nothing but the range of frequency which can be successfully generated from that earphone..
Yes definitely when we talk about clarity of sound higher values are better but best human ears only responds upto 20 kHz.
Bass range is - 20 Hz to 1 kHz
Voice range is - 1 kHz to 4 kHz (nearly)
Treble range is - 4 kHz and above
