I have been frustrated with uncorfortable headphones and ill fitting earphones for many years. The problems with headphones and earphones: wearing headphones long term (many hours working at my PC) irretated my ears & head (sweat & compression) but the structure offers stability when worn, earphones did not fit my ears very well (kept falling out due to wire movement) but did relieve the irretation . (This caused great anger within my MoodMonster...by Kiteman)

Today I combined the best aspects of headphones and earphones with a quick retrofit. The design allow the user to attach the headphone section to the back of his/her neck, allowing structure from one 'mandibel curve' (jaw bone's point, below the ear lobe), around the back of the neck to the other side, whist the free hanging earphone sections are still free to inserted into the ear but excessive wire movement is restricted. This improves both the flexibility and stability problems experianced previously with the headphones and earphones (respectively).

The retrofitted headset is very comfortable and stable, but is not restrictive at all.  (This made my MoodMonster excited...)

PS. this is my first entry, will improve ASAP. Please comment and/or try it!
