RTINGS

The best headphones for teens and tweens that we've tested are the Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. These wireless over-ears fit a bit larger than other kids' headphones and can even expand to fit smaller adult heads. They're also very lightweight and come in a couple of flashy colors, which can better suit your child's style.

They have a comfortable fit with memory foam padding to keep the user comfortable during long listening sessions. Depending on their needs, they also have an 85 and 100 dB volume limiter, which can help protect the hearing of younger users. Overall, they have a slightly warm sound profile that ensures that dialogue and lead instruments are clear and detailed. They also have over 19 hours of continuous playback time.

Unfortunately, you can't use them wired as they don't have an AUX port. They don't feel the most sturdy either, and the headband's cloth covering seems like it could rip over time. While they come with a wireless USB dongle, they have high latency via this connection, which can cause synching issues between audio and visuals. That said, these lightweight headphones offer a versatile performance that caters well to preteens and teenagers.

The boom mic on this wireless pair extends when you need it and retracts when you don’t. And unlike on any other Bluetooth headphones we tested, the microphone still works when you use the optional cable.
