What ages are your kids that are using the headphones? My son is a small 3.5 yr old and I want them for a couple of plane rides that are upcoming.

My son is 8 but I believe they will be perfect for your son. You can see there's a lot of flexibility in the size of the headphones to accommodate many ages. We love these headphones.

The ones I bought were adult sized; this was totally by accident, and was not pleased. Since the Nabi is a child's tablet, I never looked that they were adult sized and not kid's size. Fortunately, my 5 year old granddaughter has a larger head than most kids, so we sized them down really small and she'll never have to worry about growing out of them!! If you purchase, check for sizing.

My daughter is 3 and son is 6. They love their headphones and have used them on the plane a few times. TThey are great. The only problem I have is that the kids can easily switch to parent mode. You can tell they have done this because the colour of the lights on the ear pieces changes although this. Is only helpful if you are actually constantly looking at your child. I think a redesign is needed for this aspect.

My son 8 year old used his on a plane and in a car and never complained. He loved them, they only lasted about a year.

That's an interesting question. I got them for my grandsons and they are really still too young to learn the jist of the toy. And my son played with it for a while but quickly hit the end of his 32-year-old attention span. I'll be watching to see if you get a good answer to this question though. Best of luck.

Yes they do fit 4yr olds. The reason I bought them was for my twins in preK 4. It took 30 seconds for my son to figure out the volumn control so that feature is rather pointless but overall nice headphones for kids.

You don't have to use headphones, both have speakers with their own volume control. The actual volume varies a bit depending on what media format is being used and road noise however the grandkids (ages 2 & 4) have yet to complain that they can't hear. There are also headphone jacks for older children.

No problem, and yes they will come in handy for that long flight. I hope that they are small enough for her...my son loves them. As I stated before, they are a bit bulky and stick out a couple of inches from his head but he thinks that they are comfortable enough. Good luck!

Both of my girls have them, but they are late teens. I would not think they would be best for under 7 or so, but I see another reviewer says her 3yr old loves them....

I would not give these to a child considering the price and the size of the item. A child would most likely be better off with a pair of $10 earplugs in a color they like. If they lost them, they'd be easy to replace, they take up little room, are more durable and also not very expensive. I know I would not have given my kid-self these headphones, not matter how responsible I was. One hard lean back into my backpack might crush them.

How big of ears do you have :-)Honestly tho, they are over the ear. I have two of these, the standard and the 5.1 series. Standard for my son, he's 8 and the 5.1 for me. I use these headphones for my PC, Xbox, Wii, Android, Tablet, Surface, anywhere. Now, most of those I have a stereo mini plug for them, but, the bluetooth transmitter does work with my surface and are pretty cool looking. If this company made a noise cancellation model, I would get it as well.More info than you wanted, but, I tried many headphones...From Medusa, to Turtle Beach, to Sennheiser, to Sony, to Logitech, to Triton, etc, etc...and a few off names in between. For the money, these are great. How big of ears do you have :-)Honestly tho, they are over the ear. I have two of these, the standard and the 5.1 series.

I wouldn't get these for a 11 year old unless they are responsible and take care of there things. You don't want to spend a lot of money on headphones and then they go and break them.

Do you mean can you hear announcements? I'm not sure I know what you mean. They work like any headphones - if they are up loud (though these don't go super loud so your kid doesn't blow out an ear drum) they won't hear anything. My son likes to wear them at home and I need to yell at him if I want him to hear me while he has them on and is concentrating on what he's watching.

We have only used ours at home and in the car, but we have no complaints. We love them! I believe these would work great in an airplane. One can be watching TV and the other sitting right there with his headphones I haven't gotten one complaint.

sorry...they were a gift. All I know is that my 23 year old son likes the sound quality--and he is particular.

Not at all. I've had that problem with other headphones. These work perfectly. We just used them in May 2014 on an airplane, and my daughter could hear without any issue.

Yes! These are great headphones for a toddler and are adjustable so I use them sometimes too.

Well, I did buy them for our 3 year old also, and she has enjoyed them so very much. They are only 2X so they cant see very far, but it does help some. I would check Discovery toys and see if they have a better version of a childs binocular, or yes a cheap real one.
