Cool headphones for Kids :: Children’s headphones you can’t resist.

Every week Reuben gets a school newsletter on a friday to let us know what is going on, what is upcoming and if there are anythings that the school wants parents to do or be aware of.

Last week the newsletter asked parents to make sure that every child had a pair of headphones in school to use with their iPads (yep, each child get’s their own iPad – I want to go back to school!!) to minimise noise levels, help avoid hygiene problems and make sure everyone can get one at the same time.

Now, there wasn’t an indication as to what type of headphones the kids should have, but ear buds (the type that you would use for, say, an iPhone, aren’t recommended for little ones as they can actually hard the ear drum and introduce infection if not properly looked after, which no four year old is going to do over night are they? So, que me and Adam jumping online to try and figure out what children’s headphones to buy for him that ticked these boxes:

• Easy to use – he’s four, let’s be real.
• Inexpensive and hard wearing – he’s four. Nuff said.
• Fun and funky enough that he won’t moan about wearing them.
• Made for children to minimise noise and protect the ear drum.

It wasn’t hard to be honest, there are a tonne of companies that sell the products, and we ended up going with a pair from amazon, but we saw so many that were just genuinely fabulous so I thought I’d share the ones we really liked on the blog with you, so if you find yourself looking for headphones for children, you will be able to find some great ones with ease.

Snug plug and play Kid’s Headphones (various colours)

Comfort fit, designed with children’s heads and ears in mind. Compatible with more or less everything and with a thick cable.

Character style  Kid Safe 2

Erm, they are character patterned – coolest ever. We’re talking Frozen, Batman, Ninja Turtles, Avengers, Peppa Pig, My Little Pony – pretty much any of them. But seriously, these minimise noise (so no damaged ear drums) and look super fun for your child.

Groov-e GV590PBB Kids DJ Style Headphone

These have got really good ratings, though they looked a little on the thin side for sitting across a four year olds head to me. Big, soft ear pads and adjustable across the top too. Great for stylista kiddos!

Griffin KaZoo MyPhones Penguin Over Ear Headphones

Ideal if your kids aren’t into movie/tv characters. Fun and head wearing, these are pretty cool for younger ones.

So that’s it, they were our favourites. I gave in to lesser judgement and ordered Roo the Kid Safe 2 ones bevies I just know he will be so excited by them, but I really think your best option is the Groov-e GV590PBB headset.
