For the Commuter

Does anyone on your gift list like listening to music on-the-go? The Aiwa HP-CN5 noise-canceling headphones (

; $36) are designed for use in noisy environments, such as airplanes or subway cars. Outside each earpiece is a small microphone that “listens” for noise and attempts to counteract it. The price may seem high for headphones, but for someone who needs to cut out noise, these could be the perfect gift.
