I really like the shape of these headphones, and they are quite comfortable. They fit my 2-year-old well, and leave a lot of room for my almost-six-year-old to continue to grow into them. The cord comes out of just one side, making them easy for a young child to get on and off. The sound quality is good. The cord is really long. My only complaint, however, is that they DO NOT LIMIT the volume. When both ears are turned to the lowest setting, I'd say that the max output is probably around the appropriate level, 90dB. That's at the lowest setting, though. If a child starts playing with the knobs, it quickly goes up to an ear-splitting level. This is a quote from the product description: "While the headphone's drivers are of impeccable quality, their sound maxes out at a level that is suitable for children's ears." Completely untrue.
That said, I'm keeping the headphones. My kids are able to leave the knobs alone, and these are the best I've found so far (after three other tries). I will continue to search for something that truly limits the volume, fits a young child, and won't fall apart within a week. Stereo Headphone, Kids Size
I bought these headphones for my 5 year old son since I wanted some good over the ear headphones without having to spend a ton of money, these had fairly good reviews so I thought I would give it a try. They are not volume limiting but I didn't care about that since my sons I pod has a setting for that anyway. The first few days they worked good but I noticed that the little nobs on each ear will turn the sound down or off on that particular ear. So each ear has a separate volume control, it drove my son crazy because he would accidentally bump one and then one ear would be louder then the other and I would have to try to even it out for him, which was a pain! About a month into having them one of the ears just stopped working altogether, so my son had to listen with the sound only coming out of one ear, once we had them for another month the stupid cord broke right out of the headphone! Now they are useless and we went to Best Buy and bought some 25 dollar Sony headphones which are working much better. So my advice is to stay away from these headphones!
I was a little hesitant to buy these because there was only one other review compared to the other kids headphones out there with a lot of reviews. BUT, these are great. I bought 2 pairs for my kids and they put them on right away with no complaints (they are 3 & 5). Each side of the headphones has a volume control, so you can control how loud the music gets which is nice, but we will probably just turn it all the way up, then control the real volume from the source. The cord is VERY long about 6-8 feet so the kids dont feel trapped when listening. They left on the headphones with no complaints. The real reason I chose these over other headphones is because of the soft cushioning on the speakers and I am not disappointed. It is a nice thick cushion that make them very comfortable for the kids. And heck, for this price I would definitely recommend these headphones!! - Kids Headphones'
