Snuggly Rascals (v2 Kids Headphones - Fleece Headband Headphones, Ultra-Comfortable, Volume Limited and Size Adjustable. Design: Monster

Product Information

You can attach an audio cable for those times when the battery runs out. A matching USB-C cable is also included for charging. Don’t buy earbuds or any in-ear model for children–as the closer the sound source is to the delicate working of the inner ear, the more damage loud sound can do. These wireless headphones are easy to pair over Bluetooth and are volume-limited to 85db. But they go further, with a quieter 75dB limit in Toddler Mode for very young ears, and a Travel Mode that does a little louder at 94dB. The quality wireless Cosmos+ sound as good as we’ve heard for a set of kids headphones, and they’ve got everything you need, including a detachable boom microphone for video calls. Even though the colours and designs mean they are definitely more suited to children, there are quite a few adults I know who would love a aset of unicorn headphones. Still, if you can squeeze your head into the band and deal with the volume limits, there is absolutely no reason why Snuggly Rascals couldn’t do for adults too.

I also love the design and think these are ideal for travelling and in our case for use in the home. especially when Mummy needs some peace and quiet.

A Study Mode isolates voices from other sounds, producing clearer vocals to help when studying during online learning. Choose on-ear or over-ear headphones with soft ear cups that comfortably fit your child’s ears and provide both cushioning and protection—choosing dedicated kids headphones should mean that they are built for smaller heads.

Another set of Bluetooth open-ear headphones that transmit sound via the cheekbones using bone-conduction technology is myFirst’s BC Wireless Lite. If the battery does run out there’s a detachable cable included. Volume controls are situated on the left earpiece. They are comfortable with foam cushions, and they fold to save space and keep them safe when not in use. They would suit ages 8 and up more than tiny tots, and the design is pretty gender and age neutral. Also from Puro are the PuroQuiet kids headphones, which are a class apart from most of the cheaper headphones reviewed here.Belkin is a trusted name in the world of audio, and its SoundForm range of headphones and earbuds now has a set made specially for children. Its SoundForm Inspire, connecting via Bluetooth 5.2, are our choice headphones for older kids.

You should also consider fit, comfort and design, but also limit the amount of time a child uses headphones whatever the volume. We tested each model for sound quality, volume limitation, comfort and safety. The speakers instead sit just in front of the ear, beaming the sound into the ear. They therefore allow outside sound (which might well be the parent’s voice or traffic noise) to be heard. Noise leakage is surprisingly low. Battery life is stated as 13 hours—long enough for even a long-haul flight, although we’d recommend some sleep instead! The Cosmos+ are comfortable and suitable for all but the youngest heads. The audio controls are easy to use, and pairing is simple to setup.
