Question Christmas gift for nephews.

I have twin nephews that are 16 years of age. They really like using their I-pods and last year I gave them I-pod docks/stations alarm clock and speakers. I know they also each have some ear buds and was thinking a nice pair of over ear headphones might be nice. My wife says I'm nuts and that they would use or like them. So anyone here with teens and or teen relatives that might speak to this or might suggest a good headphone, over ear, for I-pod use?

Don,

Not sure how much your planning to spend, but IMO most young people would like a pair of these.

With their gift I always include gift cards or cash as well. Just curious as the the use of over ear cans buy teens with portable I-pod/MP3 devices.

Just saw these at Costco if you want something a little cheaper Don. They may not be cool for teenagers though. I don't know....

I've decided to get them a package at LeMans Carting.

Junior Driver’s School

Young racers (11yrs – 17yrs old, min. 4’9″ in height) are able to secure their LMK Competition License by taking our Junior Driver’s School. Juniors learn the fundamentals of racing, walk around the track with our instructors, participate in on-track activities and better understand the safety elements of racing.

Our Junior Driver’s School Includes:

Classroom Training
Track Walk w/ Instructors
Three (3) On-Track Sessions w/ Driving Objectives

Provide your teen an opportunity to develop the proper car control skills needed to safely drive on the public streets in a safe, controlled environment. In addition, they will have a fun and exciting time with their peers.

Then some track time Gift Certificates. This classes are Saturday Mornings so I'll pick them up, take them to breakfast, then off to the classes. I think they will dig this, I know I would have when I was their age

If they are bass-heads (and what teen isn't), the new V-Moda 100s would be a fine, relatively inexpensive choice--and they come in all black.
