I have the first ones (over the ear) and my son, now 5 never had a problem with them (he never had a choice). The only problem is that they are a little bulky, especially when in the same ag as all of the other bulky stuff.

As far as videos go, he only watches his DVD player on the plane (not at home, in the mall, restaurants or cars) so it is definately something special.
