Califone 2810-BE Listening First Kids Stereo and PC Wired Headphones Bear Design


My 3 year old fits into these headphones perfectly! They can even stretch to just about fit my head. The color of the bears is almost exactly like the picture. They are very cute, without being baby cute, and exactly what I was looking for. The sound quality is perfect for her. More importantly, the bears make her want to where these headphones. They are comfortable.

I will update after we take them on a plane. So far, very happy. They are what they are, first headphones. I just want her to get used to wearing headphones so I can invest in noise canceling for an airplane. If they make it to let little brother use them as his first pair, that would be great! I highly recommend as a first pair of headphones.

Kids love earing them, parents love the quiet
Although I have not personally listened to these headphones, I love them. My two girls ((2 1/2 and 4 1/2) each have a pair. They love using them and we love the quiet. We use them in the car with their DVD players and at home with their LeapPads and Laptop games. If you are a parent who has listened to Dora one too many times, I suggest these. After two months they are still going strong despite the harsh preschooler treatment. The cords are long enough for use in the car and the volume control on the cord is handy, although I think they usually leave them turned all the way up, especially in the car.


Good set of kids headphones!
These headphones are cute, durable and work well. I have them for my 3 year old and they have lasted over a year. They fit his little head well and have a volume control on them that he can use easily. I didn't rate "fun" or "educational" high because - well they are headphones! Fun and education depend on what you are using them for.


Cute but the ears broke off
These headphones are really cute for the first 2 hours then the ears broke off. Of course that does not affect the sound at all but it is irritating. I do like the size. They fit great on my 2 year old. It took a while to train her to keep them on but she likes them now.

Califone 2800-YL - Headphones ( ear-cup ) - yellow

Posted on October 19th, 2009 in Califone | No Comments »


My son is on his second pair of these headphones (I accidentally broke the first pair). He's three and a half, and they fit him perfectly and are very comfortable for him because they're well padded and fit over his ears rather than trying to cram ear buds into them. They're well made and will withstand the abuse a toddler or preschooler will put them through.

Great headphones for Kids
This is the second pair of headphones I bought. I bought the first one a few years ago for my older daughter (now 5) and now that my younger daughter (2) is old enough, I bought another pair for her.

They are comfortable; they fit my kids' heads, and the audio quality is very good.

I highly recommend them!


Best headphones
My kids love these. We have bought 4 pairs (my son left them hanging out the car door!) If they break them again I will come right back and buy another pair.


Great for travel too
Great sound and EXTREMELY comfortable according to my child. Used them mainly on travel, so they could watch movies on the laptop while flying and in airport. They have a lot of cushion and are pretty durable (they took a few good hits and kept working fine).
