If your kids are like mine it often takes an industrial-strength crowbar to separate them from their tablet. Now when obviously try to ration time etc there is one factor we as parents don't have control over and that's the volume.
On Apple devices, at least, there is just no way you can limit the level of sound so before you know it your little one has moved that slider all the way up to 11. While obviously this causes a nuisance for everyone else, you also start to fear for their hearing,
This is where the JLab JBuddies come in, a robust pair of wireless headphones targeted at kids aged from primary school to young teens that has built-in volume-limiting tech which means the volume never goes above 85db. At first I did think they might be if anything a little too quiet but after a week or so of use not once has my son complained. He's just happy to get some cool-looking headphones that are his!
And they do look good. Coming in either a nice blue/grey or purple/grey finish, they are also solidly built (a real must for children's headsets) with an adjustable headband that ensures a secure and comfortable fit for small heads of different sizes. They are also very lightweight and well padded, meaning they can be worn for extended periods without discomfort.
JBuddies are very easy to pair via Bluetooth and come with a monster 24-hour playtime on a single charge. This can also be extended by choosing to use the included wired connection. As well as the usual control buttons you also have a shareport that can be used for two kids to listen to their favourite tunes or watch a movie.
JBuddies headphones offer a nice combination of comfort and safety for young listeners, be that at home, school or while traveling. The durable construction means they will survive some rough treatment, while the volume-limiting gives you a real peace of mind
The wireless JBuddies headphones are currently priced at £29.99, while you can also pick up a wired version for £14.99. If your kid is a keen gamer, then there is a version with a retractable mic priced at £29.99.
