Skullcandy’s Grom Wireless Kids Headphones Are a Steal At Just $21
Looking for a pair of headphones for a young child? The Grom Wireless, one of our top picks for best kids headphones, are currently 40% off.

Skullcandy’s new $100 Method 360 ANC earbuds, which feature Sound by Bose and are essentially a budget version of Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, have recently been getting a lot of attention thanks to their value. However, I just noticed another Skullcandy deal worth highlighting. The Grom Wireless «kids» headphones, that are on CNET’s list of best headphones for kids, are down to $21 on Amazon. That’s 40% off the list price of $35.

I tested Skullcandy’s Grom Wireless over-ear headphones last year (and had my younger daughter try them). Targeted at the 12-and-under set, they have basically everything you’d want in a kids’ headphone, including a comfortable fit, decent enough sound, a volume limiter, a shared headphone port and a wired option in case you need it. Battery life is rated at 45 hours, which is also pretty good.
This headphone also comes in a wired-only version in white and blue that’s currently discounted to $15. I think stepping up to the wireless version for $6 more is a better option, but both models are among the more stylish kids headphones available and worth checking out if you’re in the market for a set of headphones for a younger child.
While it’s true that most headphones work just fine for kids, when you’re looking for headphones for children, especially very young ones, you tend to look for more compact models that don’t cost too much. Additionally, some folks want headphones that have a volume limiter to protect their child’s hearing. Yes, you can also set volume restrictions in the settings of a smartphone or tablet, but not everybody wants to fiddle with those settings.
