Get a bluetooth headset with a 3.5mm stereo jack so you can plug in whatever headphones you want. The adapter clips on as also contains the mic. I find this the best solution.

Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 or HBH-DS220.
3 friends and 5 coworkers. I am missing out on all the fun, please help by letting me win!
Extra wireless controllers plus Play and Charge Kits or Quick Charge Kits.
Maybe an HD-DVD drive, but I'll wait for the reviews first.
Geometry Wars!
That looks a lot like the Sony XBR2, even down to the SONY logo on the bezel!
I was waiting for the 2407WFP as well, but after I saw some of the initial reports about it from Japan, I changed my mind and picked up a 2405FPW during one of Dell's sales for a very good price.
Sounds like the 2407WFP has serious color banding issues, similar to issues found on the 2007WFP. Also there are reports that text looks blurry, and 1080P input is not supported (so who cares if it has HDCP or not?) -- this is all according to a translated Japanese review, so who knows. But I wasn't willing to wait so I could risk it. 2405FPW is a solid proven choice, and I have no regrets. I'd get it while you still can...
The 2405 was also selling for Y157,500, same price as 2407.
60,000 hours = 8 hours a day, every day, for ~20 years. Sounds reasonable to me.

This is the standard lifetime of most current gen plasmas.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
