Product Description

Product Description

Sized for children over 8 years of age --- Most headphones don't fit children comfortably. The MDR-222KD headphones were designed with a child's head in mind. This allows the child to comfortably wear the headphones without strain that full sized headphones might cause as well as fit that eliminates the need to constantly adjust the headphones. Low volume --- By increasing the impedance on the headphones we have taken into account the sensitive nature of children¿s ears to try to eliminate volume issues that full sized earphones might cause. Lightweight --- By sizing these headphones correctly your child can use these headphones on long trips very comfortably.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for 3 year old, October 20, 2008

By	Jt's mom (west palm beach, fl) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Safe and comfortable for little ones..., July 17, 2008

By	Happy Camper (Washington) - See all my reviews

I was so pleased to find these headphones! My twin girls discovered our old discmans (discmen?) a couple months before they turned nine. We were always worried about how high the volume was. These headphones don't allow the volume to go beyond a certain decibel. They also fit very nicely on their heads. Up until these headphones, they wanted to wear earbuds because the bigger headphones weren't comfortable.

In one of the descriptions I read about these headphones, it made me think that you could manually control the volume with the headphones. This is not the case, but it doesn't really matter. The one downside for us is that we can hear what they are listening to even when the volume is low. I don't mind this as much as my husband.

Overall, if you are going to let your kids use headphones, I highly recommend these!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, January 26, 2009

By	Eduardo Cao "cao64" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though this headphone is from Sony which normally makes good products, i have to say, its not very good. After only 2 weeks of use the connector broke. Though the rest of the headphone is fine, I found that it was not well made where the connector is.

To me it seems to be a design flaw. Fits well on children of most age under 12, but its design problems should be taken into account.

Sound is good, and does limit output so that children ears have less chance to be damaged, something that was a plus for it.
