It may be worthwhile to invest in a slightly more expensive set of earphones, if it means you won't have to buy a set for a good long while, and having been through this situation, I can say that it has eliminated a lot of silly stress in the household, as well.

| JBuds J2 Premium Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earbuds This is the set my daughter has, and they work well, and have lasted for nearly a year. ****Images are clickable, for current pricing and availability. |
I actually selected a set of Jbuds for my daughter, and they have held up beautifully for nearly a year. Whereas it was a monthly issue of one of my teens or tweens complaining, the problem of ruined headphones has disappeared in our household. The bonus is that these more costly earphones come in a variety of colors, so they appeal to the fashion sense of the tween and teen.
The selection shown above is a representation of the J2 JBuds, and as you can see, there are many cool tween and teen color choices. These are perfect stocking stuffers!
Slightly more expensive, the J3 JBuds are sleek, and include a travel case, a helpful addition for the absent-minded or careless tween or teen who has trouble taking care of his earphones.
The J3 Earbuds pictured above will appeal to tweens and teens because of the colors, and to parents because of their durability.
Skullcandy INK'd Earbuds are another popular earbud choice for teenagers and tweens.

The cost for INK'd earbuds is slightly less than that of JBuds, which helps the parent whose budget is a little stretched.
