iPhone headphone clicker/bud- how about you taper it Apple?

, , , , ,

I suppose the product design team and testers over at Apple have "casual day" all during the week- or at least they don't rock the super cool "no tie" dress shirt like this business casual author is prone to do.

I say this because anyone who's spent any time with a)iPhone headphones and b) a collar would notice that the headphone "clicker" is perfectly designed to catch on the edge of my collar every time I turn my head.

How about you smooth over that hard edge Apple?

In the meantime, I wonder if dipping part of the offending edge in Plasti Dip would do the trick without messing the entire thing up?

lol I searched specifically for these terms "iphone headphones collar" I knew I couldnt be the only poor schmuck who had to deal with this. The engineers in China must all wear ties or t-shirts to work! Has anyone found an alternative iPhone headset with the mic functionality?
