Looking for advice from DU audiophiles

Sorry if this is not appropriate to post here.

My nephew who is turning 11 in a few weeks has requested on ear headphones to go with his iPod touch. I have no idea what might be suitable for him. Does anyone have any suggestions?

is within my budget (at least as a combined B-day/Christmas gift). I'm waiting for some info back from him about what exactly he wants. I only see a large stereo like plug. Do they come with an adapter for smaller iPod like connections?

Nevermind - I didn't notice the article continued and just saw this: nicely-finished 3.5mm plug; a screw-on 6.3mm adapter plug is included for use with home or pro gear.
