    Looking to get my Boss some new headphones, similar to the iBud shape.

    Hey everyone,   My boss loves music. I bet he listens about 2/3 hours per day. Easy.   But, he uses his Apple Earbuds that came with his phone.   I LOVE my RE-0's, but I don't think he likes the style that actually goes into the ear.   So, what are some nice portable headphones...
