My 12 year old daughter wants a pair of good wireless headphones for Christmas. She never mentioned BEATS or Bose. I will not pay $200+ for BEATS, and if I was going to by Bose, its going to be for me.

I have done some quick searches on line and see "Skullcandy" run around $100-150, but are they good?

Any suggestions?

JBL Everest 300 are good. I have them and they're solid for the price. Think they're about 140 tho

I have bought cheap headphones before for my younger daughter. They are just that, cheap. They lasted about two months before one of the speakers went out.

I would rather buy stuff that will last when younger kids own them, this means a little more expensive, but it will last.

There's a thread asking this exact question on the Tech Board.

I bought some Panasonic off Amazon for $8, they aren't wireless but they do sound great. You don't have to spend a lot to get good sound. Beats is all marketing.

I have these and they work great, but probably not the look she's going for. Cheap though.

I won't spend $200 for BEATS, but I will for another shitty brand

I don't know if you are going to find any decent over the ear bluetooth headphones for under $120.

Should be plenty of on ear options at that price.

Maybe these?

Find whatever Sennheiser or Audio Technica headphones are in your range. Can't really go wrong with either.

I don't think you can get Wireless Over the ear Senns for that price range.


Audio Technica Though...

I have several pairs but the ones I use the most are my Sony DR BTN200's. The reason I use them the most is they get 40 hours of playback on a single charge. I can use them on and off for a whole week and throw them on the charger. My Jaybirds seems like they are always on the verge of death.

I use the lg pros everyday. I think they were around 60-65 when I got them. They are earbuds, but the sound is good and they recharge pretty fast.
