Snug Play+ Kids Headphones with Volume Limiting for Toddlers (Boys/Girls) - Beach

Product Information

As it simply links directly to your phone via Bluetooth, rather than having to go through an app, you just need to pair it and then play whatever content it is that you want to listen to. I really liked this approach, as opposed to being confined to a walled garden of content. If your child does any form of video homeschooling, spends time FaceTiming friends or relatives or is an avid gamer, you’ll want headphones with a built-in microphone too. Related buyer's guides These advanced wired in-ear headphones felt extremely secure when being worn. There’s a good selection of different-sized buds supplied so it’s easy to find a comfy fit. I really liked the MyKokoon app that comes with this model as it has an unusually comprehensive content library, with selections for going to sleep, disruptive sleep and anxiety. Within these categories you can choose meditations, coaching, music and even storyscapes, a thoughtful section I didn’t find provided by the apps on any of the other headphones I tried. The cups have chunky, easy to use control buttons, while inside lurk 32mm dynamic drivers. The JR310BT are light (115g) and foldable, so can easily pop into a school bag, and have a generous 30 hours of battery life.

Take your listening experience to the next level with SnugsPro. Designed to provide maximum noise isolation, SnugsPro tips opens up a new world of sound, perfect for Audiophiles and those wanting to reduce outside noise so it is just you and your music. For comfort, sound and a brilliant price, you can't go far wrong with this set of kids' headphones from Philips. They have a volume limiter, snazzy design and somehow manage to feature noise-cancelling ear cushions! The final result is excellent. Snugs moulds use soft silicone that is very easy on the ear – some custom earphones use harder plastic that is likely to cause irritation for many people. And if you have two kids, look for headphones that offer a buddy pairing mode, so the sprats can listen to Spongebob together.

Any custom mould earphone takes a while to get used to, but we found the Snugs remarkably easy to fit, and comfortable for hours at a time. The real attraction, though, is noise isolation. Unusually, they feature large 40mm drivers, better for bass, and volume sensitivity is variable. It can be set between 74dB, 85dB and 94dB. The levels are set via a key combination to prevent accidental adjustment.

Downsides? The controls for the headband are located on your forehead when you’re using it. I found this a tad fiddly, and it’s compounded by the fact that, once you’ve put the headband on, you can’t actually see your phone. Sleep headphones come in a few different varieties, and I’ll drill down into that later, but what unites them is they’re all designed to be worn while you sleep. As well as core sleep-assisting audio content, many can also play you a range of additional sleep-enhancing material, ranging from guided meditations and breathing exercises, to the low hum of an aircraft cabin. Whatever your particular “jam”, sleep headphones should be able to help you get your fix.Although they’re designed to fit standalone earphones rather than being part of a custom earphone (meaning they are not fully sealed into a one-piece product), isolation is significantly better than either standard silicone tips or the generally excellent Comply foam tips. If your one criticism of your earphones is that their isolation is not good enough, this is one solution. However, it should also be noted that it won’t fix any isolation issues caused by ports on the earphones themselves (as these won’t be covered up by the Snugs). The Snug Play+ headphones have been made for 3-8 year-olds, with each pair featuring a sharing port so several Snug Plays can be connected together. They come in a wide range of colours and designs, are foldable, and have 40mm drivers. As these earbuds are soundless, they don’t play any audio at all – pop these earbuds in and all they do is actively cancel noise. If you like the idea of being lulled to sleep with swooshing waves or brown, pink or white noise, then you’ll need to look elsewhere, but the key benefit here is that you don’t need to pair them with a phone or tinker with an app to set them up. Oddly, there are no white/brown/pink noise options to choose from, which is slightly surprising as they are very popular with people experiencing sleep issues. However, we like the fact that these earbuds are also designed to be used in waking life, making them a more versatile option than some others. Functionality is definitely one of the Kokoon’s strengths. The app monitors your sleep, showing how many times you woke up and sleep duration. I appreciated having this data, although it may actually make some people more anxious (you can always just ignore this feature). You can also set sleep and wake-up times. It even determines the best times for you to go to sleep and wake up, based on your sleep profile; you have to fill out a questionnaire to get it to do this.
