Comfortable Stealth Headphones?

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?"

The Bone Fone

There is always the Bone Fone. Personal sound, with nothing in your ears.

I've found lots of them...

Dear Slashdot,
I am looking for a way to secretly do something at work that I am not supposed to be doing. My job entails the operations of heavy machinery that has been entrusted to me. These people also tip me for taking such good care of their vehicles. Can you please help me?

Thanks!

P.S.: I would also like whatever is suggested to be comfortable as well. And not too expensive, either.

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.

Amazon.com search

I ran a simple search on amazon.com. There is a good selection to choose from depending on what you need....

Try it yourself on theor website or here are the links for In-Ear Headphones and Over-Ear Headphones

I think this will help

I just got earmuffs with a headphone ulit inside them. I think they were from JCPennies. They are called 180's. They have headphones that slip inside them and the cord comes out he back of the earmuffs. www.180s.com

I've got your headphones right *here*.

verbosity asks: "I often park in valet parking, and I got a nice car for Christmas. This is great because I can get to where I need to go in style, but never have to park my own car. The problem is that the valets always seem to be wearing illegal and distracting headphones while driving my car. Could anyone recommend some cheap yet effective EMP devices that I can install and use to 'disable' music players, without damaging any car components?"

Wear a suit and sunglasses to work. Make sure to always stand with your hands crossed behind your back. Get an earpiece that goes in your ear, with a curly phone-type cord. Wrap the cord around the top of your ear, and run it down the back of your shirt. Lift up your collar occasionally, and mumble something into it.

If anyone criticizes you, just put your hand in your jacket pocket, point your finger at them, and tell them to move along.

hey, news for nerds

A real nerd would cut the current cable and make one to his/her own spec.

Barking up the wrong tree

Everybody's going the wrong way with this. Hide them in plain sight. Get a cheap 2-way radio and run a cable into the headphone jack. Make it look like the earpiece going into your ear is going into the radio. Bonus points for busting open the radio and hiding the iRiver inside it, thereby also hiding the iRiver. Nobody will ask why you've got a 2-way radio clipped to your belt - even Gap workers have them these days, for crying out loud.
