Good Headphones for Kids
Just to clear things up, these are just child sized headphones that have been "hardened" to resist abuse. There are no control mechanisms and other features, just headphones.

Overview-
These are just medium-low quality membranes in a hard package sized for little ones.

They seem to have a good size range. The cups can be slid up or down on the support rail a couple of inches for the older kids or left up for the younger ones. I have a 2 and a 5 year old and they fit both fine.

The exterior construction is a decent plastic, light and tough, can withstand a good amount of abuse. The actual contact surfaces seem to be a vinyl like material that is easy to clean, seems to wear well.

The actual acoustic membrane is protected by a plastic grid so if the kid takes them off and starts poking around inside they can't damage them.

The cup is filled with some type of foam, this helps to isolate outside sounds, though its not anything like dedicated noise cancelling or ear muffs. It reduces exterior noise but does not substantially eliminate it.

The wire that connects to your sound device is key, first off its reinforced with extra thick shielding, the ends are reinforced as well. This helps prevent tangling and snagging and breaking. Also from the plug to the cups there is only 1 wire. The wire to the other cup is built into the headband. This reduces the amount of wire hanging around to get tangled or broken. Very nice.

The sound quality is OK. It has good reproduction of low tones, serviceable reproduction of mid tones but poor reproduction of high tones. For its target age group that's probably ok. You can hear voices fine, just don't expect to enjoy your opera too well. Its not for serious music listening, its for kids who really wouldn't know the difference.

That's about it. To recap

Pros-
Hardened design, very durable
Tangle resistant wire
Some exterior noise abatement

Cons-
Poor high tone reproduction.

Conclusion-
If you have kids and you want to get them their own headphones so they stop destroying yours these are just the ticket.

Not for airplane use
I bought these headphones for my preschool-age son to use on the airplane. My son had them on for about 10 minutes and then refused to continue using them. When I tried them on, I realized why. The headphones somehow amplify the airplane noise and drown out the sound of the movie. You would have to turn the volume of the movie much higher than appropriate for a child in order to hear it over the background airplane noise. I ended up buying an adult-sized pair of Sony headphones (about $30)that specifically eliminate background noise. The Sony pair fits my son well enough, and he will happily use the headphones on the plane for hours. If you need headphones for an airplane, skip the Califone. They should be fine for ordinary use.

Great For Plane Ride
We purchased these for our daughter to use on a long (8 hour) plane ride. She is 4 years old and they worked perfectly. She was able to hear her DVD on the plane and she liked how they fit her ears. If you are looking for something for your toddler, these are a great fit.
