Cute M&M earphones for your kids

I recently bought my son a Sony PSP Madden bundle, which made me the favorite parent for the whole Christmas season. The look on his face when he opened his gift will forever be etched on my mind. He looked like the happiest boy on earth and I was glad that I was somehow responsible for him being that happy.
He has been playing obsessively with his PSP since then, with his current fave Sonic The Hedgehog dominating much of his play time. I noticed though that the PSP doesn’t have really strong speakers. It’s only good when there is hardly any noise and the house is quiet. But when we bring it out he hardly hears anything. I’ve been on the lookout since then for a nice pair of earphones that I can use to complement his PSP.
And I think I found them in this cute pair of headphones from Maxell (http://www.maxell.co.uk/). The M&M headphones is quite a novelty. The earphones are styled like M&M candies. The pair got it down to the very colour and the logo on the outside. To bring the novelty factor up a notch it is even packaged in a pack that looks so much like M&Ms.
The M&M earphones will come in five colors, namely, red, blue, orange, pink and white and will be priced at around £10 a pair. I highly suspect that these earphones are going to be the pinnacle of audio quality. The cheap price may reflect the sub par quality of these buds but the cuteness is what appeals to me. It is perfect for kids who like cute and whimsical designs.
