Headphones for 9 year old

[Ihatenicknames]

My niece wants some headphones for her birthday. She is a small 9 year old. Any tips? In ear or over the head? Good makes for that age? Thanks

I just got these for my daughter:

She's 8, and loves them.

make sure there is a way of limiting volume. Too many are half-deaf by their late teens now due to blowing out their hearing with loud music.

if she can't hear outside sounds with them on, they are too loud.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions.

Argos do a good noise limiting pair which have stickers to write name on etc - my 9 yr old loves them. Currently on offer too xx
