Headphones for kids can be tricky. You certainly can't stand to hear another Justin Bieber song again, but adult headphones don't fit kids properly and can get too loud for delicate eardrums. In fact, when your kids blast their favorite tunes at a maximum volume, they risk ruining their hearing at a young age. If your kiddo is jamming out to tunes far beyond the recommended 85-decibel range for a prolonged period, they are putting the health of their ears on the line.

Enter these just-for-kids headphones with a volume-limiting feature that maxes out at 85 decibels. That way, they can tune in — and tune you out — and still be able to hear when they hit old age.
