Recommended bt headphone for a teenager (12yo)

Sennheiser Momentum 4s are excellent all round with very long battery life and are around for £169 in the UK so may worth seeing if they're as cheap in EU.

for example:
new Momentum 4

My son (13) and I both have a pair 1More Sonoflow (the HQ50 non-Pro version). They support LDAC and are excellent for the money ($41 from AliExpress)...

1More Sonoflow NC Headphone Review

This is a review, listening tests, EQ an detailed measurements of 1More Sonoflow Noise Cancelling Bluetooth headphones. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $99 although goes on sale for $79. The look and feel of the unit belies its low cost. The plastic seems stout and good quality...

All those recommending the Sundara?......have you seen the size of a Childs head?.......I sold my Sundara as it was frickin massive on my head and heavy....and the sound wasn't much to talked about......woefully inadequate for bass heavy music

I read the Sennheiser Accentum Plus is basically a plasticky Momentum 4 so may be worth looking at.

Have read some good things about the CMF Headphone 1. Comes in different colours too.

I use the UGreen Hi Tune Max 5C which are pretty decent and only £23 in the UK, problem is your son may think you are being cheap if you buy him those even if they are really good.

The Koss KPH30 Wireless looks nice but is an open back.

The Koss KPH30 Wireless looks nice but is an open back.

Which is what OP is looking for if I understand correctly:

I want him to be able to hear me across the apartment when I shout his name for doing chores

@Quimicas any Around Ear Bluetooth headphones like the Sennheiser Momentum, 1More Sonoflow, CMF Headphones, ... will isolate from the surrounding and will compromise comfort with glasses, as the ear pads will put pressure on them.

If you want your son to be able to hear you and have no issues wearing glasses, then On Ear headphones like the Koss or EH11 are the obvious choice.

Koss KPH30 Wireless. Open back, inexpensive, sounds pretty good, lifetime guarantee. My teenager uses them at the gym. He likes that he can still hear his surroundings.

For size reference here is the KPH30 beside the Fiio EH11. Koss struck a great balance of form and function. Better sound, better fit, good for long listening sessions and activities.

The KPH40 with bluetooth adapter and Grado F pads are perfect but require buying the extras.

Thanks for all those recommendations ! The momentum 4 seem nice but too expensive, even refurbished.
Amirm review of the 1More Sonoflow makes them tempting, but I think @staticV3 is right. I'll take the koss route, either the KPH30 or the porta pro wireless 2.

Thanks again to all of you, you've been of great help
