Sony MDR-222KD Childrens Headphones (Black)

 (108 customer reviews)

I bought this headset for my 2-year old after one of the connectors disconnected on his Kidz Gear Wired Headphones For Kids headphone.

Although the description indicates these are designed for 8+, the headset fit over my son's head pretty well. However, the headband part kept slipping down and the spongy earphone material just didn't "hold" well on my son's ears. It might be that my son doesn't have enough hair for the headphones to grip/hold onto.

In comparison, the Kidz Gear headset had a double band which seemed to grip his head better. Plus, the earphones were made of a leather-like material which cupped the ear, rather than laying directly on it. The sound quality on the Kidz Gear was much better.

If I had to choose between the two, I would have to choose the Kidz Gear one.

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.

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.
