Kid friendly wireless headphones

Destination · 16 Feb 2019 at 09:40

Bit of a spec me thread,
my wife has informed me that some types of headphones are kid friendly in that the have a maximum setting for volume so it doesn't damage the poor sproggets ears over time.
Anyone have a suggestion for a wireless headset, preferably noise cancelling, with this safety feature?

Or what would you suggest in general for an eight year old?

Plenty of bluetooth ones with build in volume limiters on various sites to be honest. Folding ones are a bonus too and typically charge with the same cable as tablets.

What are the headphones for? Im sure most phones have this.

Thanks all, the headphones would be for use with a tablet on airplane etc.

Can't you set a maximum volume limit on the tablet itself?

Possibly can, never looked at that tbh.

in which case what noise cancelling wireless headphones would someone recommend for an eight year old?

Sony wx-1000xm3’s for sure

That’s if you think your 8 yr old is worth a pair of £300+ headphones

Nope...

Do they need to be noise cancelling?

I got my daughter some PuroSound labs BT 220 headphones which were recommended to me by a friend. They’re very good in my opinion. (Just looking on Amazon looks like they’ve updated them since I bought - price is lower too)
