Just what the doctor ordered. Works great for my grandchildren when they watch videos in the car.

I was looking for headphones for my 7 year old granddaughter to use with her MP3 player or Portable DVD player. Kids this age find it hard to use ear buds. I shopped around in many stores but could not find what I wanted. These are great !!!!! Fit just right for those smaller heads, Sound just loud enough for young ears. I would recommend these to anyone looking for headphones for that young music or video lover.

Headphones are of good quality and fit the kids’ heads well (6 and 3). The quality of the silence on a long drive was the best feature…

I bought 2 pairs for my 2 and 4 year old girls to use while in the van traveling. They fit them fine enough BUT once you start driving the combination of noise from the road, radio, other DVD players, or simply someone in the vehicle talking, makes it so they can’t hear a thing. I am very unhappy with this product and wish there was a way to get my money back since I couldn’t return them to the store.

DON’T waste you money.

I purchased these headphones when I realized that the smallest size ear buds available for my daughters Sony walkmans were too big to stay in their ears. While they do fit my daughter they have one major problem. The claim that, "High impedance allows for low volume headphones", is really silly... because what it should say is "High impedance does not allow reasonable volume."

Yes your child will never suffer any hearing loss if they use these earphones, but then they will also never hear the music or video they are watching when they use them. The only option I have found to work around these poor headphones is to use special software to boost the sound in videos and music that is going to be downloaded to their little walkmans.

The true irony of all this is the Sony Walkmans they have include a function to limit sound to about 1/3 of full volume to protect kids ears... No need for that function is your kids use these head phones. When you have that function turned on and use the head phones you can't hear anything.

Sadly I couldn't recommend these headphones to anyone for anything. They are more trouble than they are worth. Fortunately for one daughter I have a pair of Sennheiser px300 headphones that are small enough for a child... unfortunately I will need to buy another pair for the other daughter... these Sony will be sold our next garage sale or thrown away.
