Got their IEM model with iOS controls for my mum so she doesn't need to use the Apple earbuds with her iPod shuffle.
The IEM sounds fairly bassy with muddy mids and next to no treble extension. The IEM has very audible driver flex when I insert it and the fabric cable is very noisy when you use this IEM while moving around.
All in all a big disappointment for 35€, but my mom likes the wooden shells and the coloured 3,5mm TRRS, so yeah...does the job for the target market :P
I actually recently bought a pair of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00ENJC962/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484522741&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=House+of+Marley&dpPl=1&dpID=31kMgeFdkKL&ref=plSrch
and they work pretty well: it's a fairly consistent reduction in noise across all ranges so I'm not really experiencing any of the effects others have talked about where certain frequencies are more prominent than others. A look at your link suggests that your choice is a little higher-end. It's almost definitely a better product but it would be hard to say what they're actually like without playing with them.
I'm no audio professional, but in my humble opinion, the whole in-ear monitor and over-ear protection thing is overkill. This is probably dependent on the age of your kid though. If they're young (like 10 years old), I'd definitely take a lot more care in choosing which direction to go in. I've been using similar options to the earphones I linked in since I was around 14 years old and I've still got good hearing. That said, I'm still quite young.
Another thing to consider, that I don't think has been mentioned yet, is ease of use. You could have the most effective solution possible, but if it's uncomfortable, awkward and just a general pain to use then all it's really going to achieve is put your kid off using it. I don't really have any wisdom or anything to impart here, but it's something else worth taking into consideration.
TL;DR Yup, those earphones look good and out of everything, is probably the option I'd go with. Unless your kid is still quite young.
