Headphones & Earphones for Children

Headphones and earphones designed especially for children.  Some models include volume limiting safety features to help prevent hearing damage.

Children's headphones obviously need to be small and lightweight enough to fit the smaller proportions of a child.  The selection of headphones and earphones below are designed with children in mind.

If your children listen to a portable MP3 player, such as the iPod, or play portable video gaming consoles then make sure they are safe from hearing damage with earphones designed to protect their sensitive ears.  Headphones that are safe for children can be worn for extended periods of time without damaging the ear.

The main objective with kids headphones and earphones is the reduction of Sound Pressure Level (SPL) delivered by the earphone to the inner-ear.  Various different methods are used by headphone manufacturers to achieve this, including limiting the maximum volume delivered by the earphone and reducing the volume needed by sealing correctly in the ear.

The in-ear earphones listed below are also suitable for kids and adults with small ears, who find other earphones too big to fit comfortably in the ear.
