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

Product Information

Headphones for kids are essential tech kit for parents as none of us want to hear Spongebob for more than ten minutes or be subjected to either blam-blam action gaming or the high-pitched whine of Alvin the Chipmunk. Always remember that corded headphones pose a strangulation risk to young children, and as such most warn against under-threes wearing them unsupervised. If you want to run the battery down a little quicker or just look the coolest kid at the party, then turn on the multicolored LEDs on each earpiece. In fact, they offer a level of safety in that there is no long cord that could get wrapped around a child’s neck and strangle then. The trouble is that 70dB is quiet and will likely not drown out ambient noise, so 85dB (equal to a lawnmower or leaf blower) becomes the norm despite it being potentially damaging to a young person’s hearing.

Review: Snuggly Rascals kids headphones - Honest John

Toddlers can wear headphones but make sure that they fit our safety recommendation: volume-limited, wireless and comfortable. We like a product that tries something different, and that’s the case with Snuggly Rascals over-ear children headphones.The volume limit means you don’t have to worry too much about hearing damage, although you probably don’t want to leave them on for hours. The maximum noise level recommended by many auditory health organisations is 85 decibels (dB), and to get our recommendation a child’s set of headphones shouldn’t, we believe, go any louder than that.

They don’t pinch and they are soft enough to wear for long periods of time without causing any discomfort.The ear cups and headband are made of durable aluminium, while the ear cushion and band cover are made from protein leather. Loud noise can damage the structures, hair cells and nerve fibers in the inner ear that respond to sound and transmit sound to the brain.

The BT2200 were one of our favorite kids headphones and they have now been updated to the BT2200 Plus. Dedicated kids headphones with volume limiting are better but not 100% safe if used for long periods of time.Theyare not just volume-limited (to the standard 85dB) but offer active noise-cancelling ( up to 22dB). The biggest danger with wireless headphones is that, unlike wired headphones, they require charging and so may run out of battery, leaving the headphones unusable until recharged.
