How do you choose headphones for children?
Choose children's headphones
All children's headphones have a volume limit. But these headphones differ from each other in other aspects. Ask yourself the following questions if you're looking for children's headphones:
- What's a volume limit?
- Do you want wireless headphones?
- Do you want your child to here ambient noise?
- Which type of ear cushion do you want?
What's volume limit?
All children's headphones have a volume limit. This means that the headphones produce sounds of up to 85dB to reduce the chance on hearing damage for your child.
Do you want wireless headphones?
Wireless headphones give your child more freedom of movement. The cable won't be in the way while they watch a video on the tablet. Wired headphones ensure a more stable connection than wireless headphones. Thanks to this, our child can always listen to a high sound quality while watching videos or listening to music.
Do you want your child to hear ambient noise?
Children's headphones with noise canceling reduce ambient noise. Thanks to this, your child can focus on their movie or online homework. The disadvantage is that you child won't hear you as well when you talk to them. Do you want your child to be able to hear you while they're wearing their headphones?

Which type of ear cushions do you want?
You can choose between on-ear and over-ear children's headphones. With on-ear headphones, the ear cushions will be on their ear cup. As a result, your child will hear more ambient noise than with over-ear headphones. The ear cushions of over-ear headphones go over the ear cup. This reduces ambient noise passively already. The ears of your child will become warmer with over-ear ear cushions than with on-ear headphones.
