Digital camera reviews of Califone First Stereo Headphone Lightweight for Young Children Blue
Digital camera Review: Perfect for our kids
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought two sets of these to use with a dual screen DVD player we recently purchased to keep our kids occupied during a trip to the beach. They were great, seemed comfortable and fit really well on their little noggins. Actually, they're adjustable and they even fit me!Digital camera Review: Made for kids.. They will love it :)
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Headphones for the children. I bought it for my 2 year old son for a long flight trip and he loves it. Its seems they are not breakable (unless someone wants to cut it with a sharp tool :) and are light weight. My son uses it with ipod videos and portable dvd player. He knows that these are his headphones and so, they are very special. Very good quality.Digital camera Review: great for kids

These are the perfect size for preschoolers. The only concern, is the black covering came off the ear piece but I was able to get it back on.Digital camera Review: Good Headphones for Kids
Summary: 4 Stars
Just to clear things up, these are just child sized headphones that have been "hardened" to resist abuse. There are no control mechanisms and other features, just headphones.
Overview-
These are just medium-low quality membranes in a hard package sized for little ones.
They seem to have a good size range. The cups can be slid up or down on the support rail a couple of inches for the older kids or left up for the younger ones. I have a 2 and a 5 year old and they fit both fine.
The exterior construction is a decent plastic, light and tough, can withstand a good amount of abuse. The actual contact surfaces seem to be a vinyl like material that is easy to clean, seems to wear well.
The actual acoustic membrane is protected by a plastic grid so if the kid takes them off and starts poking around inside they can't damage them.
The cup is filled with some type of foam, this helps to isolate outside sounds, though its not anything like dedicated noise cancelling or ear muffs. It reduces exterior noise but does not substantially eliminate it.
The wire that connects to your sound device is key, first off its reinforced with extra thick shielding, the ends are reinforced as well. This helps prevent tangling and snagging and breaking. Also from the plug to the cups there is only 1 wire. The wire to the other cup is built into the headband. This reduces the amount of wire hanging around to get tangled or broken. Very nice.
The sound quality is OK. It has good reproduction of low tones, serviceable reproduction of mid tones but poor reproduction of high tones. For its target age group that's probably ok. You can hear voices fine, just don't expect to enjoy your opera too well. Its not for serious music listening, its for kids who really wouldn't know the difference.
That's about it. To recap
Pros-
Hardened design, very durable
Tangle resistant wire
Some exterior noise abatement
Cons-
Poor high tone reproduction.
Conclusion-
If you have kids and you want to get them their own headphones so they stop destroying yours these are just the ticket.
Digital camera Review: Perfect headphones for toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased these for our 20month old for a very long flight to use with a dvd player. They worked great and our son actually kept them on his head! They are well built, light-weight, and are a great primary color (makes it more fun for kids). They are also the right size and cover the entire ear with very soft padding to stay on the ear better and fit smaller heads of toddlers (they are also adjustable to grow with your child). These also worked on the plane connected to the earphone jack for the on-plane movies so we were all peacefully watching a movie. I highly recommend these for your child as they were made specifically for young children.
