Budget
Before anything else, you need to figure out how much you are willing to spend on your new kid’s headphones. The quality of value-priced headphones continues to improve, so you can find affordable children’s headphones for under $50. Premium models offer better build quality, sometimes even extra features like noise reduction, often costing $100 or more.
Suitable (comfortable)
The headphones you buy are suitable for your child’s ears, which is key. They should provide a comfortable fit, but not too comfortable. Many children’s headphones are in-ear models, which are more compact.
Durability
You need to keep a good headset well over time, so look for the solid build quality of the models we noticed.
Wireless or wired?
Wireless headphones are the way to go, but if you are traveling by plane and want your kids to be able to plug in on-board entertainment, look for a model that also plugs in the headphone jack for wired use.
return policy
If you have a buyer’s remorse, it is crucial to buy headphones at a retailer with a good return policy.
