Wires on headphones can be very annoying, especially when they get snagged on something and rip the headphones off your head. Once you have a set of wireless headphones you won’t want to turn back, especially if you get good ones that are comfortable and sound awesome. Sony’s Digital Surround Headphone System (MDR-DS6500) are an excellent choice because they go beyond what you expect out of a set of wireless headphones, and they have the flexibility to play off of just about any device.
Kids have small and more delicate ears that are more prone to permanent damage while they are still developing. The other problem is that kids most often know no limits and like to turn up the volume as high as they can. Prolonged exposure to that high volume will inevitably do some damage, and even permanent hearing loss, so if your kids use headphones it is important to see that they are made for children, preferably with the ability to limit the volume to a safe level. Fortunately there are a few options available.
It’s no secret that good music can make or break a workout. Whether classic, death metal, 80’s pop, or an eclectic mix of tunes encompassing a range of genres, music has a way of taking workouts from mediocre to epic. With the right tunes, you want to run longer, lift heavier, bike faster, and maybe even Zumba sexier, depending on how you like to get your heart pumping. But to listen to music while engaged in exercise, you need the right gear – namely, the right headphones. You need headphones that are comfortable, stay in your ear, offer great (or even superb) sound quality, and maybe have a few additional bells and whistles.
Here are what I consider to be the top 4 (actually 5) headphones for the fitness nuts out there:

On my list, the picky people are the teenagers in my life that I buy for. It seems no matter what, I can’t seem to find the right size, colour or style to meet their demands. Almost every year, my hours of wandering through the mall are pointless as my gift selections are returned the week after Christmas. This year I have a lock on a return-proof gift that is sure to bring a genuine smile to their face and keep one less person out of the return line, wireless headphones.
