With families spending more time at home than ever, the kids will be enjoying plenty of online activities that others don't necessarily want to share in.
The best headphones for kids will ensure a harmonious household, but at the same time should protect their little ears (sticking to a top level of 85 decibels is a good idea) and look cool into the bargain.
For smaller kids there's an array of colourful and themed headphones like these Mpow CH1 wired headphones, while older children are likely to prefer scaled-down versions of adult ones like the stylish Beats EP headphones.
We've rounded up the best headphones for kids below so your mini-me can enjoy their favourite programmes on repeat - and you don't have to. Everyone's a winner...
