There are volume buttons on the left cup, with the power on/off switch.The volume did sound a little higher than some of the other headphones—not excessively so, but still noticeable. If you can trust your child not to keep pushing volume up, then you shouldn’t have any problems.
Snuggly Rascals (v2 Kids Headphones - Fleece Headband Snuggly Rascals (v2 Kids Headphones - Fleece Headband
The set that arrived for review here were the penguin themed ones; my three-year-old took one look at them and proclaimed them hers. She put them on - the band is adjustable for smaller heads, with a soft velcro closing - and refused to take them off for a few hours. I finally prised them from her grasp after she fell asleep; small children are nothing if not tenacious. If the battery does run out there’s a detachable cable included. Volume controls are situated on the left earpiece. Using Bluetooth means that these headphones need to be charged, and the “up to 20 hours” of battery life should be enough for most journeys. They charge via USB-C cable rather than fiddly microUSB, which is often found on kids headphones. Sound quality is excellent—possibly the best we’ve heard on a kids product, and these look and feel like quality products. The BT2200 were one of our favorite kids headphones and they have now been updated to the BT2200 Plus.
The headband is available in either fleece (which we're testing here) or cotton, the latter being cooler and a lot better in the summer. There are several different designs from the owl we've got to a unicorn - obviously - and a monster, because some boys probably don't want a pair of pink kitten headphones. The Cosmos+ are comfortable and suitable for all but the youngest heads. The audio controls are easy to use, and pairing is simple to setup. Children’s ears are more sensitive to noise damage, due to growth and development of nerve fibres and other cells. Also because of their smaller external auditory canals, the eardrum is closer to the sound source.

You need to have these headphones on the right way round for comfort. There’s an R and L to show the correct side, but if your kid doesn’t know his or her left from right you may get a complaint every other time they’re put on incorrectly. Hey, maybe it’ll teach them their left from their right! The cord is 0.8m, which is about right for laptop/tablet/phone use but might require an extender for TV viewing. These wireless, lightweight foldable on-ear headphones feature volume limiting (to the standard 85dB) are look as good as their pricier siblings, the BT2200 and PuroQuiet.Conveniently, they fold into a small and robust shape to fit in the tough but colorful travel/storage case, although exactly how robust they are depends on your child, of course! As such, you need to trust your child to not pump the volume up when you’re not around, and definitely not for the very young.

Snuggly Rascals have a number of different styles from Monsters, to Penguins to Cats and Giraffes. Sylvia chose the Unicorn Headphones which look super cute on her.
Specifications
The wire is usefully long at 1.5 metres and is braided rather than plastic, so should prove more durable and less likely to split. Medical experts have reported that 12.5% of children and adolescents aged 6–19 years have suffered permanent damage to their hearing as a result of earphones and devices turned to a high volume. And with kids spending around 5 hours a day watching or using screens, the risk to hearing is frightening to consider. Putting adult headphones on to your child’s head could endanger their hearing, as they emit sound as loud as 94-110dB. Dedicated kids headphones with volume limiting are better but not 100% safe if used for long periods of time.
