Puro Sound Labs
Rated best kids’ headphones by the New York Times, Puro Sound Labs seems to have designed an all-around stellar pair of headphones for kids.
In a safety test conducted by the NY Times, Puro’s BT2200 noise-cancelling model was the best at keeping the volume at kid-safe levels.
Whether your child listens wirelessly through Bluetooth or prefers corded, this model will not surpass the safe volume limit of 85 decibels.
The Puro BT2200 headphones also managed to snag the Parents’ Choice Foundation Recommended Seal.
Another excellent model from Puro is their JuniorJams ($89.99), with many features similar to the BT2200s.
When it comes to kids’ headphone makers, Puro gets the high score with most reviewers.
JBL
JBL is a tried and true company dating back to the 1930s. They have a reputation for producing high-quality sound equipment that satisfies discerning customers all over the world.
They have developed a JR headphone line geared specifically towards kids. The JR models are designed to stay at or below 85 decibels while still keeping the good sound quality you expect from JBL.
The JR300BT headphones have a very long range for Bluetooth listening, up to 15 meters (49 feet).
JBL also offers a corded model, the JR300, perfect for the times when your children want to listen to their favorite songs on long aeroplane trips.
LilGadgets
While this company’s junior headphones are volume limited, they go above the normal standard of 85 decibels and bring it up to 93 decibels.
This higher limit is safe for shorter periods of listening (less than 8 consecutive hours), especially if your kids have your supervision.
In most situations, children will not need to max out the volume as the headphones’ passive noise reduction technology cuts down outside noise by up to 13 decibels.
Your child’s comfort is a big deal to this company. Their headphones are cushioned so they won’t snag on kids’ hair. Little ears looking for comfort will love the SoftTouch material.
LilGadgets Untangled Pro, a kid-friendly set of wireless headphones, received the Mom’s Choice Award.
LilGadgets Connect+ Pro headphones are a corded pair made for travel. They are foldable and lightweight, perfect for stowing away in your child’s backpack.
