Headphones for Children

[BlairWaldorfOG]

Morning!

Can anyone recommend decent headphones (as in ones that don't break easily) for a 9 year old and 5 year old please? I think Bluetooth may be best as they keep breaking at the wires and ones that don't cost the earth, it's to listen to their audiobooks/ go on their tablets when we travel for our holiday!

my dc have these and they're fab!

POGS. Brilliant headphones limited to a safe volume for children.

They break them all. We also went Bluetooth but given they sit on or drop or lose their headphones whether cheap or expensive (and last week left some on the sofa and I managed to sit on them and break them) you may as well go cheap and commit to replacing them often. I get the £12 ones from b&m

Another vote for POGS.
They are limited to a kid-safe volume, have the cables that don’t tangle & are comfy.
You can buy Bluetooth compatible ones which can be used wireless or with the wire as needed.
You are also able to connect them together with a specific cable so they can both listen to the same thing at once - all cables (charger, sharing and for using without Bluetooth) are included in the price of the headphones (well they were at the time we bought them anyway!)

We bought the Belkin soundform kids wireless headphones last Christmas for DS.
They come in blue or pink and the volume is child ear safe.

so far they have been great. You can buy them from most places for £30, Amazon, currys, argos etc

My DD had TUINYO rose gold wireless ones. Originally from B&M for about £15, they've survived numerous falls down stairs, off furniture, staying outside over night, being sat on etc. it took 2 years for them to finally give up, and I replaced them with exactly the same ones from Amazon for now about £20. She says they're mega comfortable and as yet still seem to be made of the same indestructible stuff as before.

My DD’s jabra ones are very good.

I recently bought 5 pairs from Amazon for my DD (who's 9) to try as she broke the previous ones. They were all too small, didn't have the right buttons or too difficult to pair. As they do need to fit your DCs I would strongly recommend doing the same (maybe buy them a week before Christmas with the intention of returning some?) but also make sure the reviews include examples with children of the same age as yours (i.e. not all for 2 or 3 year olds).
