Best Headphones for Girls

Buying a good pair of headphones for a girl can feel overwhelming – will they fit her smaller frame, are they durable, will she like the style. Don’t worry we’re here to help.

First, we found out what characteristics girls like for their headphones to have. Then, we researched today’s most popular designs and brands, and picked several headphones that would work best for girls. Finally, we put all of that information into this handy easy-to-read format to help you quickly decide which headphones would be most suitable.

Things to Consider

• Size. Girls are naturally smaller than men; this especially includes their ears and head. Big bulky headphones tend to fall off, leak sound, and are just plain uncomfortable. Girls will appreciate a smaller device that better fits their frame.

• Durability. Girls are every bit as active and on-the-go as men and boys so they need a set of headphones that will last.

• Style. No two girls are the same; while one may like soft muted colors another may enjoy bold geometric patterns. They appreciate products that help them express that individuality.

The Guide to Headphones for Girls

The headphones below were chosen based on their size, durability, and ability to accessorize. While not exhaustive, we put the top two headphones for girls to the test and had a group of 6 girls to the Headphones Unboxed lab in Seattle to put them both through the paces.

Top 2 Best Girl Headphones

1. Zipbuds JUICED 2.0

Juiced 2.0 by Zipbuds is one of our favorite sets of headphones for girls because of its versatility, size, and styling.

Its cabling is an actual working zipper that can be opened and closed to any level; meaning you truly control how long the cables hang from your ears. They easily zip up for tangle free storage in a purse, pocket or gym bag. These earbuds feature an angled ear-tip in three sizes to fit nearly any ear canal. Additionally, the Juiced 2.0 come in a variety of colors such as glow-in-the-dark green, pink, and blue.

Zipbuds have been named Travel + Leisure Magazine’s “BEST PERSONAL GADGET” and has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This set of headphones is not only functional but offer a really unique style.

2. Skullcandy Hesh 2.0

SkullCandy’s promise to “reflect the collision of the music, fashion and action sports lifestyles” almost never disappoints and the Hesh 2.0 is no different. Its light over-the-head design and mid-range price point make this a go-to set of headphones.

Girls will like the way the Hesh’s soft flexible headband fits snugly without causing massive destruction to a hairstyle. These also easily fit into purses, bookbags, or gym bags. And with over 20 different colors and patterns you’ll be able to find a style fits any personality.
