Abstract
Earbud headphones configured for use with a portable media player that include a main body portion with an extended curvature configuration. In one example implementation, the earbud headphones include a speaker housing and an extension that form a gap between the speaker housing and the extension. A user can secure a portion of the user's outer ear in the gap (i.e., between the extension and speaker housing), such that the earbud is securely and comfortably held in place within a user's ear. Additionally, the earbud headphones can be interchangeable, such that a user can customize the size, fit, and style of the earbud headphone.
