Cool wired and wireless headphones designed for kids
Children’s headphones are different from normal headphones. They make sure that your child listens to music in a responsible, safe and fun way. These headphones don't only look extra cool, they have a few extra features. The main differences compared to adult headphones are:
- Volume protection
- Smaller size for a better fit
- More colours
Functionalities of Bluetooth headphones for kids
Headphones for kids have many more specific functionalities. They are light, have a comfortable fit and come with a volume limit. Below, we list the most important features.
Volume protection
Children's headphones have volume protection and will therefore never increase to harmful levels. These special noise-reducing headphones have been developed according to the safe sound principle. This means that thanks to a built-in sound limiter, the volume never exceeds 85 decibels. This complies with the EU limit and prevents irreparable hearing damage.
Special fit
Headphones for adults do not usually fit children's heads and ears very well. This is why children's headphones are smaller to fit more comfortably on the smallest of heads. The headphones also have soft ear-cups and a padded, adjustable headband. We know some kids get fidgety, so comfort and low pressure on the ears is our goal.
Robustly made
Kids headphones must be tough. That's why JBL designs extra-tough headphones for kids that last and don't break easily.
Fun colors: for girls, boys and persons
Blue with red, pink with turquoise and moss green. Instead of black or white, JBL children's headphones are available in cool colors. In addition, the headphones come with a sticker set so the kids can get their very own look. Let them express who they are!
