Your child may love to play games, watch shows or listen to music on their tablet or computer — but that doesn’t mean you have to love listening to it along with them. The answer? A quality and affordable pair of headphones from JLab, which are designed with kids’ specific needs in mind.
A perfect example is the JLab JBuddies Studio Bluetooth On-Ear Kids Headphones. Rated highly in our analysis of the best kids headphones, they have several neat features that make them the perfect headphones for kids to use. The cloud foam cushions on the ear cups provide long-lasting comfort, and the sliding metal adjustments let kids customize the fit. They have a featherweight build, making them suitable for extended listening sessions and convenient for traveling. The built-in volume regulators ensure the volume never exceeds 85 decibels, and the braided nylon cord has an in-line microphone with track controls.
The BestReviews Testing Lab tested them in a real-world environment and was impressed with the long-lasting battery life, stylish design and superior comfort. They’re easy to set up with any device via Bluetooth, and they have a more mature look than other kids’ headphones, making them ideal for older children in the 8 to 14 age range. Overall, the sound quality is crisp and clear while watching YouTube videos and movies, and for the price, these are some of the best headphones for casual use.

These headphones fold down to a portable 5.5-by-4-inch size with pinch-free hinges for convenient traveling and have built-in volume regulators to keep volume below an 85-decibel threshold. They’re suitable for kids aged 2 and up and are compatible with most tablets and smartphones.
Over-ear headphones are more comfortable for some since they don’t push against the ears, making these headphones perfect for kids who don’t like on-ear styles. There’s a protection switch for the volume, and the battery can last up to 35 hours. Share mode lets two kids listen simultaneously, and the in-line mic is excellent for playing interactive games and making calls with friends.
Wireless headphones are terrific, but there’s the added hassle of having to charge them often when the battery gets low. With these wired headphones, kids can listen all day, and the Cloud Foam earcups make them comfortable for extended listening. They have a foldable design for improved portability, and the in-line mic has onboard track controls. Plus, the braided nylon cord never gets tangled.
