crap, those headphones are like $80. instead of carving away, why not just make an adapter, that way it'd work for ALL your thick-plugged headphones?

I bought a Radio Shack 42-2570 Stereo Headphone Cable Y-Adapter for $7 and carved away the excess plastic with a utility knife. Very quick. Here is the web page: iPhone headphone adapter.
