Summary: They fit, but provide horrible sound 2008-11-20
Comment: 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.

Summary: perfect for 3 year old 2008-10-20
Comment: We needed head phones for our 3.5 year old son. The ones that stick in your ears kept falling out. These perfectly fit on his head, he actually has to extend the headband a tiny bit, so I wouldn't worry about them being too big.

Summary: Worked well for little ears 2008-10-20
Comment: 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...

Summary: Defective cord 2008-10-08
Comment: Bought this product recently for my third grader. Controls volume as advertised, though I still ask him to keep the volume below the max on his MP3 player. Unfortunately, the cord is not properly bonded to the miniplug, so only the wire is holding it together. I expect it to break entirely soon. It is clearly a manufacturing defect, not wear. Since these are not expensive enough to hassle with a return, I will try some glue. Generally, I expect better quality control from Sony.
