Do you have a child who is plugged into an iPod or other portable music player?

They could be at risk for serious hearing damage. A culprit for hearing loss is the earbud headphone explosion, and now some audio experts say traditional headphones are a better bet for kids to use.

The earbuds are particularly dangerous since they sit deep inside your ear.

Now a new external noise-cancelling bass-enhanced headphone has been introduced for fans of "American Idol."  The headphones use large, high-quality drivers with tuned enclosures to provide crisp, clean treble and deep, low-end bass that enhance all genres of music. State-of-the-art bass-boosting technology provides extra depth on the low end for a full-range sound.

The efficient acoustic drivers are optimized for superb audio when connected to battery-powered portable music players, such as iPods or iPhones.

Whether you’re a fan of David Cook, David Archuleta, Kelly Clarkson or you’re looking to karaoke it up in your bedroom, now you can listen to your favorite American Idol winners in style.

American Idol introduces Performance Series Headphones (www.idolperformanceseries.com), fashionable stereo bass-enhanced headphones with a fun star-powered design.

The American Idol Performance Series Headphones deliver a quality sound experience and have a creative and colorful look and feature a rich, bass boosting technology and high fidelity playback.

The American Idol Performance Series Headphones are available now for $29.99, exclusively at Amazon.  A 1-year warranty is offered.
