Fortunately, listening for that long is no problem with padded earcups that kids can use for hours at a time before feeling fatigue. Additionally, parents who host sleepovers will love the inclusion of the Shareport functionality, which allows other headsets to plug directly into the LilGadgets headset to share the audio that’s coming from just one audio-producing device. If none of the above sells you, the knowledge that a portion every purchase of a LilGadgets headset goes toward bullying prevention in schools just might. Beyond sound, these lightweight headphones are built with high-quality, durable materials that can stand up to the wear and tear young kids will inevitably put this headset through. Furthermore, the padded foam is gentle on smaller ears and stays comfortable for hours at a time without interfering with lengthy listening sessions. The inclusion of Shareport technology allows for a quick and easy chain of multiple children listening to the same media device.

Wireless

The problem with volume limiters is that some devices can overpower them. Choose wireless headphones for the maximum amount of protection, since it’s impossible for hardware to accidentally make wireless headphones produce sound louder than they are designed to deliver. The downside is that if the batteries die and you use a physical cord to plug the headphones in, you lose that extra protection.

Noise-canceling Technology

This feature is more commonly associated with high-end headphones, but an investment in noise-canceling headphones is an investment in your kid’s hearing. Noise-canceling technology cuts down on outside sound, which lets your kids hear their music or videos better at a lower volume, which can keep their ears safe.
