I'm looking to buy ear buds for my four year old. Would this fit a child's ear? Does this product breathe, or are your ears hot and uncomfortable?

It comes with different size ear buds, and I think that the small ones would fit a four-year-old just fine. They are not uncomfortable in my ears. I really like the Alpatronix EX100's, and the price is all right too.

I don't think that these would be good for a small child. You really have to adjust the position of them in your ear. My ears are not hot and uncomfortable when I use these, but I have no idea if they "breathe".

I'm an adult with freakishly small ear holes. I'd say with the different buds they provide in the kit you may find one that will fit. Certainly nothing hot involved, I wear these all day for work. However, maybe consider that the earbud adapters might be a choking hazard?

Hi, these probably will fit pre-teen ok, (i can put them on myself) but they say "Kidz Gear" on the outer ear piece so I don't know how your pre-teen would feel about that. I think they are good quality for children, they may feel a bit cheap for much older kids.

My thought too - I actually returned a set because I couldn't get to fit and then later tried it again. You have to work it onto the post - but they actually do fit - and very tightly which is what you want. BTW - I love these. I have very small ear canals and have never been able to get ear buds to work. The standard Apple buds are a total waste of money on someone like me. I'm glad that there are companies like Comply that actually think about this stuff.

Probably not suitable for children under 5-6, as they might swallow the product. Besides, I can't imagine why and in what situation children should need to use earplugs to block noise!

Hi,THese are really good earphones, especially for the price. Although I would say they are very sturdy, as I have been using them daily at the gym for quite a while now, I don't think I would necessarily recommend them for an 8 year old. I handle them with care and they really aren't made for kids. I also think they are quite loud and I wouldn't want a noise reducing set on a child, as that could prove dangerous as well as damaging to their ears if they aren't careful.

Personally, I found it very uncomfortable. I only tried 2 sizes(which I picked using the fact that I usually wear medium/small sized clothes). Both of them were comfy initially, but after 3-4 hours, my ears were hurting. Plastic can never be as soft a silicone(Bose). I bought the Bose Sie2 instead. I often use them for 8-9 hours a day with no discomfort at all.

My ears are quite small and regular ear buds hurt me. these small ear buds do not hurt but the sound quality is poor. I kept having to push them in constantly to get better sound.

I would think so. It just has the standard plug in. The ear muff part doesn't really fit to well on my kid's ears though. They are some what curved and pretty big for little ears...however, they were extremely cheap!

This is not the headset for you - it's for small heads. My 9-year old son can wear them comfortably for long periods of time, but they start to bother me after 15 - 20 minutes since they fit realy snugly, even when extended to maximum size. If Plantronics made this same set in a larger size, I would highly recommend it since it's a great product at this price level, but if you know your head is large due to past bad experiences with small headsets, then I'm sure you'll be unhappy with this one as well.

Not sure because I've only had them a month but they are uncomfortable. Maybe my ears are small. My 18 month old was able to remove the actual bud. Pretty cheap.

The headphones belong to my teenage daughter. She said she never has worn them all day. She's worn them 3-4 hours at a time before. She said they have never been uncomfortable to her. She said they are neither cheap nor deluxe. She said they are "middle of the road" as far as quality. She has had a few pairs of ear buds before. One kind she has had are from her iPod and another kind came with an MP3 player a few years ago. She has not had a lot of experience with ear buds. But, she said that she likes these ear buds a lot.

I use these in my 4 year olds ears. I never put them into the ear where I cannot see, only on the outermost part of the ear canal where wax tends to collect. They are very small

My kid is 13 and wears them ALL the time and says they are comfortable. I'm not sure about bigger ears or head. He's probably about average head size and ears.

Sorry for the delay. You know I just went over and pulled out the headphones and opened them full out. Then I put them on my head and YUP...they fit. I measured my head from one ear canal to the other ear canal (over my head) and it is 16". The headphones fit comfortably and are extended with about 1 inch to spare. Hopefully, these will do for your son. I love them and it is great to know that the sound is limited to protect our precious children. Besides, the headphones have a good feel to them. They are not heavy but they are not flimsy either. I highly recommend them and hope you and your son enjoy them - I know that I do. God bless and Merry Christmas. Sorry for the delay.

Give it a shot. Buy some kids headphones so the volume won't go too high. I was surprised when my kids were able to use them at 4 and 2.

I really can't tell, but I think you better to avoid use for really young kids. I'm 17 and whenever I had them more than 2 hours, I feel uncomfortable and even dizziness. It's because it blocks the oxygen that goes through ears. I don't think it's the problem of the product because same things happen with different product. In conclusion, this product is some where between fine and okay but just don't use any earplugs for kids.

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.
