earbuds for children: Any suggestions?

After much searching, I found JVC HA-FX55 series headphones with 3 different ear attachments and the smallest fit my 8 year old daughter (FINALLY!) Sony also sells a similar more expensive type with 3 ear pieces.

Children's ears are very delicate. I'd avoid using these, they can be very powerful at times and kills hearing. To answer your question, yes they include smaller tips for kids.

Yes, I have to admit earbuds aren't very comfortable because they lack a good ergonomic design, i.e., comfort that you have with traditional headphones. They suit the purpose of a hands-free device.

You don't have to use headphones, both have speakers with their own volume control. The actual volume varies a bit depending on what media format is being used and road noise however the grandkids (ages 2 & 4) have yet to complain that they can't hear. There are also headphone jacks for older children.

thank you. it would be for a kid to listen to in their room. What are closed headphones? Ones that completely cover the ear? Are iPod ear buds considered closed?thx

I think that they may be too big for that age. I have found that most of that style of earphones are too big for a child.

You might consider over ear headphones � if you are very sensitive. But my son loves the ear buds.

I have 5 kids that regularly use these at home. They are a bit tight, so no one wears them for more than an hour (starts to hurt your ears) BUT the sound quality is completely adequate and these come in several fun colors, and are expandable (the sides can expand and contract to fit head height).

I think mine was almost two when we tried headphones for the first time. It took a minute, but worked out great. It'll be fine. You have Baby Einstein or Gigglebellies? Those are two of our faves.

My son is 8 but I believe they will be perfect for your son. You can see there's a lot of flexibility in the size of the headphones to accommodate many ages. We love these headphones.

No. these are referred to as " hearing amplifiers" they are not the same as hearing aids prescribed by a professional audiologist. They are not designed or meant for use for in children.

An MP3 Player is not a ridiculous gift for a 6 year-old. My son is getting IlluStory for his B-Day and he has an iPod Touch as well. One thing does not affect the other! The world now offers us many possibilities and I am sure kids that have parents aware of what is around will be successful and learn to use all the tools they need now and in the future!

My six year old is able to use them, but they are very big on her and they do not hook over her ears very well. But I have considered getting her some because I love the bluetooth, ease of use, color selection, and price.

Yes, I bought them last year for my 11 year old ( which she loved). They are perfectly fine for an 8 yr old. They are comfortable and you just have to plug them into your device.

Fitting may not be a problem. But I wouldn't suggest using this product for kids. This is basically an amplifier of sound in your ears. I would get a doctor's opinion in that case.

My kids are 8 and 11 and these headphones are on the bigger side so I would recommend looking for something smaller. They are great quality though. :)

They are very comfortable. They can be used by my 3 yr old, myself and my husband (they adjust in size well). They work like any regular headphones - no restriction on what will play on them but they have a setting for parents and kids for the volume control. Light is not bright and yes they go over the ear. All in all I really like these headphones even for myself :) Hope that helps.
