Headphones for tweens

I'm looking for over ear headphones for DSs 9 and 12. I'd like Bluetooth to use with their iPhones. Everything I look at looks too childlike, they're not big enough for adults but too big for childrens. What do teenagers use?

Budget around £50.

Thanks.

My 10yo and 8yo use adult headphones with no issues. They have yobola wireless earphones.

Puro Sound make some excellent volume limiting headphones that don’t look like children’s headphones and have Bluetooth. I think they’re a little more than £50 but under £100. Definitely recommended.

DD has adult headphones since she is 10. Unless you have really tiny children they should work.

Adult headphones are fine. I'd have thought 12yo DS would have opinions on brand? My 11yo DS has Steel Series ones.

Most teenagers have AirPods (or fakes) I'd say. Neither of my dc would want to be seen in a pair of over ear headphones.

Skull candy wireless earbuds have excellent reviews.

I had them before I got my airpods and as much as I hate to say it, the sound quality isn’t much difference.

Depends. DD has normal wired earbuds when out but prefers her over ear ones at home. According to her they are more comfortable when listening long-term than earbuds.

She actually told me she doesn't want AirPods. It very well depends on the crowd they are in and also how they use them.
