Whether on the go, at home while playing or for school: children's headphones can be really useful in everyday life.

Children who already have their own cell phone or are allowed to use their parents' devices can enjoy radio plays or favorite music undisturbed.

And when playing games or homeschooling with the tablet, well-fitting headphones ensure a little more peace at home.

Many kids' models have significantly smaller ear pads and can also be adjusted in size on the bracket so that the headphones can "grow" with age.

Tip: Avoid using in-ear headphones for children, as the ear canal is still too small - over-ear headphones that completely surround the ear or on-ear headphones are the better solution.

The latter are particularly practical in everyday life due to their low weight.

In addition, children's headphones are usually made more robust.

But children's ears are also particularly sensitive and should therefore be well protected.

Specially developed children's headphones can guarantee this - thanks to an integrated volume control, no tones above 85 decibels are played on many common models.

Bluetooth headphones for children - that's why buying them makes sense

Bluetooth headphones have a big advantage, especially for children: they cannot become tangled or broken when using or playing.

Also important in terms of safety, especially for young children: being able to use headphones wirelessly prevents the little ones from strangling themselves.

Bluetooth headphones are therefore a sensible solution if small children live in the house or if headphones for the little ones between the ages of two and three are needed.

Particularly quiet headphones: toddlers are listening?

The buddyphones * are specially tailored to the needs of toddlers and children: With 14 hours of battery life, the children's headphones are particularly durable, they are also extremely sturdy and can withstand wild games.

The Bluetooth headphones offer a child-friendly volume limit - for a toddler this can even be reduced to 75 decibels.

Parents know: Children often have a preference for a very specific color.

The wired Philips SHK2000PK * with ergonomic headband is available in purple, making them popular headphones for girls.

Other colorful models such as the headphones from Amazon Basics * and Mpow headphones * for children have a share port that can be used to connect a second pair of headphones.

This is how children can share music with their siblings.

And the low price is also convincing: If the headphones do break or lose, this is easier to get over than with expensive models.

Children's headphones: That is why a volume limit is important

For our ears, 85 decibels are the critical limit value - this corresponds, for example, to the noises on a main road.

Loudness in excess of this can significantly damage our hearing.

Children in particular should therefore be protected from loud noises.

Normal adult headphones usually don't have a volume limit, making it difficult to tell when music is too loud.

Therefore, buying a model with a decibel limit is a wise decision.

Tip: Do not use a noise-canceling function when buying, because the feature is unsuitable for children, as ambient noise in traffic may not be heard.
