With a little adapter, I can listen to music on a memory card in my Treo.
I have had a couple of those, with different brands stamped on them. My first were around $40, bought a few years ago. I bought a second pair earlier this year for the wife, $10 on Buy.com after the mail-in rebate, Creative brand. So, yes, the Sharper Image stuff is over-priced. These headphones are very good for the price.

(I still see them on Buy.com, one branded Creative at $25, the other Kensington, at $37)
