Kindle Kids

If there was just one device you gave your kid, let it be the Kindle for kids. Built for reading only (no games or distractions) with a black and white, glare-free display, this Kindle provides weeks of battery life. You can also pair it with a set of Bluetooth headphones or speakers to listen to stories via Audible. In case you’re feeling extra generous, you could throw in an Audible subscription, too.

Beats Solo 3 Headphones
From Beats
The hot ticket for teens is a pair of Apple AirPods, but earbuds don’t work for everyone. We are super fans of the Beats Solo 3 headphones—especially when listening to a nice long audiobook! If you need audiobook suggestions, we have plenty here on TCBR. Or you could pair these headphones with a subscription to Audible.
