Any reason for the wired headphone requirement besides resistance to change?
Because you should be able to find a good quality pair for well under $50, and that would open up your device options to a wide array of smart watches. On top of that I think your kid will enjoy wireless more than wired.
Otherwise I’d recommend an iPod touch, or any old smartphone. Just set them up with mobile device management so that you can lock out any features you don’t want your kid using.
You can even activate the cellular and keep it quite locked down. You could restrict basically everything: apps, web browsing, calls, texts, etc.
- sjs382 2y agoLots of reasons. Kids drop things, lose things and tend to have less general awareness than adults. I can't count how many times I've dropped my wireless earbud case and had the earbuds pop out and the case close. It's easy to imagine a kid losing one, both, or the entire set including case. Wired headphones are tethered to the device when plugged in and easier to replace. Wireless earbuds turn the setup into 4 discrete items that can be lost (L, L, case, device). Device+wired headphones is less to think about.
