Best headphones for 11 year old sister (around £30)

AndrewB121

Looking for some decent headphones around £30 (max 40) for my little sister (11). 

Need to be durable and preferably over ear. Sound not a high priority but obviously want it to be decent.

Also don't want something massive, she has a small head. Preferably portable. 

 

Currently looking at:

Audio Technica ATH-M20X (Would prefer the M40X, How do these compare?)

Koss Porta Pro (Not over ear I know)

Monoprice Modern Retro

 

Which is the best, or are there any better alternatives?

I got these OneAudio Headphones for my son last Christmas (and then a set for my self) you want to game with them use the cable, other wise they sound great for muisc and talking over blue tooth. (i'm in USA I noticed you used £ for your monetary denotation so i went to amazon.co.uk) I will say If she spins in her chair, the cord can get caught and breaks the part that the ear peices swivel on...my son.. gets mad and spins when he loses some times. so now he only has audio from one side.)

 

These look decent also. Corsair Headphones

Hmm they look decent thanks. She doesn't really game though so the mic may get annoying.

Its detachable on the one audio ones. I use mine almost exclusively for music when i'm cleaning or doing house hold chores.

 

Also the black and red ones are the ones I got, they are model A2 they are more versitile. the A1 model I think is bluetooth only.

Perhaps take a gander at reviews.

 

over ear are likely going to be rather large for someone so young.

the monoprice and koss are worth looking at, so is the kph 30i. My general reccs for under $50  headphones are those as well as the ksc 75's with a special highlight on  the  3 koss products.
