Yeah, I uhhh... I'm not sure it's entirely having the tiny ears thing here. Is this for headphones to wear to school? We struggle with this every year. My kid who is sensitive to a lot of different things really has an affinity for goofy gamer headsets now. He wears a Logitech G432 to school now, and it feels goofy and overkill, but it's the only headphone he's had at school that didn't result in a bunch of meltdowns. You can find a used set on eBay for less than $10. We got his from there and I needed to replace the earpads, but those were only a few bucks. At home he wears the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Cores, which are like $30. For Xmas I got him Koss GMR-54X's. He didn't like them at first, but really came around to them. Got them from Drop, who is out of stock right now, but they get them back in intermittently. Also, I can't help but think it sounds like your kiddo has sensory issues and maybe you're struggling with it. It's okay. Lots of kids do, but it might be a symptom of other stuff kicking around in their head. Most kids just wear headphones and don't complain.
So I just picked up a set of Koss gmr54x-iso from drop.com for $19+$5 shipping. And they are some of the lightest, most comfortable sets I've tried. The sound is close to my sennheiser/drop pc37x. I got the koss because they are a closed back set and my sennheisers were having some sound leak/echo issues. So far, the consensus is the mic sounds great and havent had anyone complain about sound leakage/echoing.
Got the koss gmr-54x, I believe on a clearance sale for $19($5 shipping). Wasn't expecting much, but it has been a great set for long gaming sessions. Great sound.
