Our favorite pair of headphones for older kids is on sale for the first time — just in time for the new school year.

The EarFun K2 Bluetooth Kids’ headphones are our top pick for older kids, thanks to its more grown-up design, a simple aesthetic for kids who are moving on into their teens. The headphones still offer important safety limits, though. They can operate with an 85-decibel limit for everyday use, or you can set them up to have a 94-decibel limit when you’re traveling and your kid might not be able to hear as well over external noises.

The EarFun K2 Bluetooth Kids’ headphones offer a lot for the price too, including wireless Bluetooth 5.0 connection that can work with tablets, Chromebooks and smartphones. For devices that don’t support Bluetooth, they can also use a wired 3.5mm connection. The design is lightweight, can fold up to fit in a school bag and has plenty of cushioning for your child’s comfort. The headphones can run for 40 hours on a charge, so you won’t constantly be reminding your kid to recharge them (or recharging them yourself). All that makes these headphones quite the deal at their usual $25 price, but they’re hard to pass up at just $17.
