I am looking for headphones for my 2nd grade classroom, will these fit comfortably on an 8 year olds head without falling off?

The headphones arc and the ear muff parts may grip at about 5 inchesI'd say that would make it better to stay on a kids head even if they're a bit large.

Fit most of my 4th and 5th graders fine. Earpieces break off very easily though.

These are not large headphones. I've tried them with people who have big heads and small heads and no one has ever complained. Usually with headphones you have to worry about them being too small. It's definitely worth a shot.

They are very flexible and should fit you comfortably. They are also adjustable but you probably won't need to expand them. My son's head is larger than yours (8) and can wear them easily. Now if only I could find him hats that fit as well...

Depends on the 8-year-old. There is a bolt-like part (well, 2 parts, one on each ear) that becomes loose and I have to tighten it here and there or else the earpieces become detached. The part is very easy to lose once it falls off. These may work better: Panasonic RP-HTX7-P1 Stereo Headphones (pink)

They are very small and tight on an adult, but I assume that means they would be more comfortable for kids. But I wouldn't get these for kids, since as the above reviewer mentions they are VERY fragile. The ear cups snap off much too easily. Look up "Califone Kids Headphones", and those are great becuase theyre designed for, well, for kids. They're just average quality drivers in an extremely sturdy package. B. McGilvray, Next time your MDR-V150's break, step up to the Panasonic RP-HTX7's. Yes, they're more expensive, in the $30-40 range so not a mint, but they are well worth it. They are made of a pliable metal and covered in pleather. I've stepped on these (how my MDRV150's, and several other sets of mine have broken) before, and they just snap back into place. You can twist, bend, and pull on them and they won't snap. Plus the sound quality is also a huge improvement with deeper bass and crisper highs. They make the Sonys sound like they're playing through a pillow, and since your kids have already ate 4 MDR's they would have already payed for themselves. It would be a great investment for you, and IMHO a no-brainer. They are more of an adult size headphone, but on the smallest setting they would have no trouble fitting a child, so in applying that to the first post, the Panasonic RP-HTX7 is also a great sounding, EXTREMELY durable choice, but it'll cost more than the Califone's.

I have an XL head and it hit me great. As long as their head is not tiny (like pre k-2nd) they should fit. They snug up nice, so it should hold.

They are pretty loose on your ears so I would say no. Depending on the helmet strap you might be able to keep them in place, but I would probably check out more secure headphones for use with any physical activities.

They are a bit big for a smaller head. I have a big head myself but lucky adjusted them to fit. Some of my friends who had smaller heads, The headphones fitted just fine.

I bought them for a 2-year old. If the 8-year old is very slender they might work.

I had these for my 2nd grade class (7 and 8 year olds). The blue ones were too small, but most of the 2nd graders were comfortable on the yellow ones.

Unless you have very tiny ears, these will fit on, not over. We just got a pair, and unlike my other headphones which completely fit over the ear without touching the ear, these sit on top of my ears and don't really touch my head.

They come with three sizes of rubber earpieces, small medium and large. The medium ones are installed by default and seem to fit me okay, so they'd probably be to big for a 7 year old. The small ones might fit, but I don't have any small ears to test them on. For $7, it's worth a shot. If worse comes to worst you have a backup pair of ear buds in case your regular ones fail.

They might be a little big, it depends on the size of your child's head. My daughter has a narrow head and she has issues keeping them on, but it is much easier for her with these, then adult headphones. The headphones have a wide frame, but short height.

I bought the TMNT version for my son that is 6. The headphones are a bit bulky yet adjustable so if she has an average size head they may be okay. However, they are very durable and can tolerate some stretching and drops on the floor so they are worth price that I paid for them!

They might. I have a fairly normal head and they are not all the way compacted. Also, they fit together when opened such that the headphones are touching which means that they will cup against your ears no matter how small your head is. They actually have to be stretched to be put on by anyone.

Any over the ear would work just fine for an 8yr old. Otherwise I personally enjoy the beats by dre but those are expensive and I don't really thing necessary for a young person. I'd say try Sony brand?

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.
