How do these compare to Apple's In-Ear Headphones? Anyone use this on a larger baby4-5 months old?

If you're talking about Apple's *dual-driver* in-ears, the answer is that they aren't terrible. It would be prejudiced of me or anyone else to slam them just because they're from the same company that packages devices with crappier earbuds. However, the HF2 and HF3 destroy the Apple in-ears. While not dual driver, the balanced armature Etymotics are voiced so perfectly they're worlds better, in my opinion. Certainly worlds of detail you've never heard before will open up to you if you buy them. One thing you should know: The HF3 sounds as good as the HF2 but has a three-button remote. Additionally, the HF3 works better with certain Android phones (the Nexus S and probably the Galaxy Nexus) *as well as* the iPhone. If the controls matter to you, you're better off getting the HF3. Something else that every headphone purchaser should know: Frequency range specs mean nothing. In the first place, they're tweaked and exaggerated. In the second, they're only useful within a single brand to give you a sense of range within it, not between brands with different measuring schemes. That's why you'll find $30 earphones that boast wider FR specs than a hundred dollar pair and the hundred dollar pair still sounds leagues better.

I don't think these are child size, but they are very soft compared to others out there. In regards to people saying they are not comfortable, I disagree. Having used EarPlanes for years, I decided to also give these a try because I found EarPlanes to be much harder and after wearing them my ears definitely hurt. Both these and EarPlanes work wonders if you are sensitive to pressure changes. EarPlanes does have children's sizes FYI, but depending on how old your baby is, I'm not sure they would fit.

It comes with different size ear buds, and I think that the small ones would fit a four-year-old just fine. They are not uncomfortable in my ears. I really like the Alpatronix EX100's, and the price is all right too.

I use them with the new Apple ear buds. They work - almost. It takes a little doing to get them on, and they do fall off more easily. But I've been using them for a few months and I'm perfectly happy with the way they keep the ear buds in your ears, and I feel they improve the sound quality as well. Buy 'em. What have you got to lose?

Are you listening to digital or analog recording? I have only listened to digital music with these, and they have had good response. Not having ever used say a $300 pair of headphones; I don't know how they would compare. They do beat the small earbuds by far; and are not too bad to sit for extended times on the head. You will have to sit up though, these are not that comfortable reclined or lying down.

I use them with my iphone and my ipod and I think they are outstanding. Im no expert but I can compare them to 3 pairs of other headphones Ive used - Sonys, Bose, Audio Technicas, and I recommend them highly. Love them.

They are very comfortable. They can be used by my 3 yr old, myself and my husband (they adjust in size well). They work like any regular headphones - no restriction on what will play on them but they have a setting for parents and kids for the volume control. Light is not bright and yes they go over the ear. All in all I really like these headphones even for myself :) Hope that helps.

they will do fine but honestly i would buy almost any other head phone in the world then these. the sound quality is not worth the price the apple ones which actually fit in your ear (both their high end one and their $40 option is a better buy)

i have a sennheiser and i still use it cause there is quality in it too.but there is no comparison cause if i can go back in time i would have bought Bose QuietComfort.and it really helps when you are in an airplane if there is a kid crying you would hear nothing. ^_^

They are adjustable and fit very small children, so I think you'll have no problem with the 3yr old. They have a regular plug for a walkman or a cd player so I would suggest you try other headphones or earbuds to fit, and if they do these will fit also. Good Luck.

We used them with the iPad for our toddler on the plane and they worked great. I tried them on and could hear everything fine.

They would be the closes to size for a toddler then other headphones. If they don't Amazon is great at taking returns.

Sorry for the delay. You know I just went over and pulled out the headphones and opened them full out. Then I put them on my head and YUP...they fit. I measured my head from one ear canal to the other ear canal (over my head) and it is 16". The headphones fit comfortably and are extended with about 1 inch to spare. Hopefully, these will do for your son. I love them and it is great to know that the sound is limited to protect our precious children. Besides, the headphones have a good feel to them. They are not heavy but they are not flimsy either. I highly recommend them and hope you and your son enjoy them - I know that I do. God bless and Merry Christmas. Sorry for the delay.

I would not use them on my 3-4 month old baby. We used them on our 4 year old and they were a little big for her. I would think that they would not seal correctly on ears of your 3-4 month old.

I got these for my son who used to use apple earbuds and when we were in the car constantly asked if we could turn down the car radio and we could fairly easily get his attention if we needed him. Now with these we practically have to shout to get him to realize we are speaking to him and he never says we are too loud to hear his own music. I am certain these aren't noise canceling like the high-end pricey ones, but they seem to work pretty well for the price. He wears them all of the time now. Hope this helps.
