Headphones

As we move into more and more multimedia (videos, podcasts, etc.), there
is more need for headphones.

Last year, I purchased one set of 20 headphones for each mobile cart. I
stored them in a large plastic bin that stayed on top of the cart.

This did not work out too well in that the headphones got easily
tangled, then as they tried to untangle them, they would break. On top
of that, putting sweaty headphones into a plastic bin is gross. (I am
borrowing this terminology from my middle school students.)

This year we are complicating things by adding a foreign language
program that needs headphones with a built in microphone. =20

How have all of you out there dealt with headphones? Where do you store
them? How do you keep them from getting tangled and broken? =20

Thanks,
