Sony MDR-222KD Children's Headphones (black)

These headphones have worked great for my son. They reduce the volume to a safe and comfortable level, but still allow for decent sound. They are lightweight and somewhat fragile, but hey- they're cheap. Kids just need to know they aren't toys that can...

Lightweight, comfortable, decent sound reduction

Somewhat fragile

Sony MDR-222KD Children's Headphones (black)

These worked well for my child until one day without reason they stopped working mid-song. They're cheap which is nice but it is definitely worth investing in something that'll actually last longer than a month.

Volume limiting, kid-sized, not ear buds

craftsmanship

Great headphones for kids

These are quality headphones that will last for a child. Price point is perfect. Not cheap that there is no quality. Not too expensive because they are for a child.

Excellent Headphones for Kids

Bought 2 pairs of these for my girls and they love them. Work fine on my 3.5 year old and 7 year old so the 8 and up in the description must be for legal reasons. Sound is good, not great but they kids don't know the difference. Recommended.

Buying a second pair today

It's sized for children and is offered in pink and black but does not look too childish. It delivers good sound and so far has survived a full school year. Buying a second one for my second child for school today.

Will your child be wearing headphones on a long road trip? The MDR-222KD headphones were created to be easy on young ears, with moderate volume levels and a lightweight and comfortable design. Children eight years old and up will safely enjoy hours of their own personal soundtrack while you relax in silence.Your child will love the comfortable fit of these specially-designed headphones. The MDR-222KD headphones were designed with a child's head in mind. This allows the child to comfortably wear the headphones without strain that full sized headphones might cause as well as fit that eliminates the need to constantly adjust the headphones.The sensitive nature of children's ears has been taken into account by increasing the impedance on the headphones to try to eliminate volume issues that full sized earphones might cause.
