Finding the best kids' headphone:
what to look for

Headphones for children are available in fun colors and have volume protection. So listening to music on a long car journey, watching a film or playing a game is completely safe. Discover the advantages of child headphones for the youngest music fans.

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!

What are types of headphones for kids and toddlers?

Wireless headphones for children

No messing about with wires; just move around freely. Wireless headphones for children work with Bluetooth. This allows you to easily connect to an iPad, mobile or computer. The headphones work up to fifteen meters from the source and last for about thirty hours.

For music, on the go or gaming

Listening to the latest hits, watching a film or playing a game - kids can do this hours on end. Whether you're at home, on a long road trip or flying, JBL child headphones give your kids their own world of music with great sound.

Noise-cancelling headphones for kids

Want to give your kid some real me-time? Want to give them a few moments to work undisturbed? Or want to survive a long flight? Have a look at the noise-cancelling headphones for kids like the JVL JR 460NC.

Buying headphones for your kids

Headphones for kids are an ideal gift for travelling or at home. Let your kids enjoy music comfortably and safely anytime, anywhere. Thanks to the built-in sound limiter, the decibels are kept to a safe level. And JBL sound is still 100% guaranteed. Surprise your kid with a pair of headphones!

Alles over DAB+ radio

DAB staat voor Digital Audio Broadcasting. Het is dus eigenlijk gewoon digitaal verstuurd

How does DAB+ work? DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting. So basically, it is just a digitally transmitted sound. This is different to FM, for example, which is sound that is transmitted via radio waves, and you can adjust it to suit your location. The range of DAB is much wider, and because it is digitally transmitted, the quality is also better. Because it does not use radio waves, there is no noise. This means that even in the remotest corner of the country, you will have crystal-clear sound.
