Each of the ear buds in the accompanying figures, i.e., a first ear bud and a second ear bud, may be a part of a headset that may be placed, i.e., worn, in a person's ears.

Line shading is used in the accompanying Figures to convey surface shading and contouring, and not texture, in FIGS. 1-18.

The broken lines shown in the FIGS. 1-18 illustrate portions of the ear bud that form no part of the claimed design; the dash-dot-dash boundary rectangle is used to indicate a transition from claimed subject matter to unclaimed subject matter. In FIGS. 19-36, the dash-dash broken lines illustrate wireframe lines that form not part of the claimed design.

Claims

CLAIM We claim the ornamental design for the ear buds for headset, as shown and described.
