I'm looking for some headsets which will fit my friend's 3 years old son. The standard headsets are too large for their heads. Mostly, they will use these headsets for watching DVD inside the mini VAN.

I would recommend some clip on's like the KCS-35 or KCS-50 from Koss. They are very good and they will stay in place, no matter what, and won't put a lot of pressure on the ears, since they will just hang from them. I also have a 3yo by the way, and it's a good idea to keep the volume really low for them. I am telling you because mine likes the Red Hot Chilly Peppers a lot and you have to keep an eye on him because he likes to crank it up. Chrs.

I wouldn't recommend headphones at all because of childs sensitive hearing. Maybe I'm too concervative but I think that hearing is so valuable thing that one should treasure it as long as possible. For children loudspeakers are safer than headphones.

The kid's father must be a super headphone fan, loudspeaker woud be ok! btw , is it possible a 3year kid would keep a headphone on his little head?

I'm seconding the idea of the Koss clip-ons. Quite inexpensive, too. Low volume, though, let them make the decision to destroy their hearing when they're old enough.

Anything you get, make sure it's not something he can swallow (ie. earbuds/canalphone tips). I guess biting on the cable is unavoidable...getting a clip is a good idea.

I also think that a 3 year old's ears would be too sensitive for headphones. Loudspeakers would be better because the parent can easily control the volume.

If you do any air travel on airlines like Frontier, grab a bunch of the disposable headphones they hand out. They adjust really small, don't get very loud, don't sound very good, but they are FREE.

Ditto. In addition, the headphone and cord create a loop around the childs neck. I think you should just let them listen through the speakers.

Leave that Kid alone!

Whay on earth a three year old needs a headphone? This is getting dumb.

Cmon - are you encouraging viewing an LCD screen inside a moving vehicle? It may keep the kid off your backs but it will surely land a pair of glasses on his noggin before he enters his teens.

Save his eyes and his ears and do something sensible like playing kiddie music through the car stereo.

THINK!!

Thank for your input!!!. After reading your suggestion, I think I should just leave the kid alone....
