decent sound?  I thought perhaps these were toy headphones for the
kids, but once I plugged them into my iPod Touch, I realized these were
no toys.

The ATH-ON3A Portable Headphones are very compact and
perfect for traveling.  The band that goes over the head is very thin,

A few weeks ago, our kids were heading off to camp, so we bought them disposable cameras to take some photos while there. We didn't want to spend a lot on digital disposables, and their personal digital cameras are too nice to get ruined at camp, so we went looking.

The average consumer home, at any given time, assaults the ears with noise: dishwasher, laundry machines, fans and vents, hard drive noise, not to mention the outside noises of lawnmowers and passing trucks.
