Comfortable Stealth Headphones?

Posted by Cliff on from the comfortable-and-invisible-at-the-same-time! dept.

rhetoric asks: "I work in valet parking, and I got an iRiver unit for Christmas. This is great because I can listen to music in one ear while parking cars or in both ears while idle, and with the right headphones, no one can tell I'm wearing them underneath my coat and hat. The problem is that the iRiver headphone cord is horribly short and poorly proportioned, and the headphones are rather uncomfortable. Could anyone recommend some comfortable yet small headphones that wrap around the back of the head, so that the cord can go down the back of one's neck?"

    I've used these headhpones almost exclusively for casual listening for about a year now. They're no good for serious audio quality, but for a discman or an mp3 player I like them the best. They come in multiple colors now too, ooooh.

      I would recommend these instead.

      Earbuds with very good sound and lots of bass when inserted properly. I'm using them in replacement of the white thingies that were included with my iPod. There's no going back.

      They are almost unnoticeable too.
