Super comfortable
One happy granddaughter… listening to her stories. Great for wind down. Super comfortable and fit. Great sound and good price.

A really good set of headphones for kids as it has a set upper volume limit and are sized right too
I was wondering what makes a headset geared towards kids apart from their obvious size, as they can really use any headset. Well the key feature that I can see aimed directly at kids, is the 85 dBA upper volume limit. This gives peace of mind to parents who are concerned about protecting their kids’ hearing. While the sound quality is decent for the price, it’s not exceptional, and it’s more tuned for casual listening than for experts who want to pick out the individual sound qualities.The build feels sturdy enough for kids, and the plastic construction certainly feels durable. You can actually bend it in a u shape and even further and still have them come back into shape so they are definitely very flexible, but only time will tell if that means that they will last a long time as well. The large, over-ear foldable earmuffs are fairly comfortable and fit well without pinching or feeling too tight. The foldable design is convenient for travel or storage. This particular pair I have has the more modern Type-C audio socket, but you can get a version that has the more traditional AUX socket, so make sure you get the version that suits your needs the best.Whilst being fine for kids, unfortunately the sound quality isn’t the best, and neither is that of the microphone (mic). Also the mic is not built into the actual headphones like a normal in-line MIC, but instead it is on the audio cable, where the volume controls are, and is prone to picking up some noise.However, when I take everything into consideration, including the real bargain price point, then these are definitely worth trying and get 4 stars from me.

Kids Earphones
Great product, value for money

Unparalleled R&D+ features so expertly tailored for kids. Premium quality/Performance, superb value
Ordered via vine.I am an audiophile, albeit an Adult one and EarFun have really surprised me with some budget friendly Wireless IEMs several months ago, so I have some high end audio but thought this would be interesting to test/review. Earfun in 2024 almost 2025 are now a recognised and established brand for both budget/entry level to mid tier audio products.So for this product, naturally i’m going to review this from a kids or teenagers perspective as they are designed, otherwise i’d want more decibels and head room.Although these were originally £23, they’re now £16 with a 30% voucher, and this makes these even more superb value.I chose the black/red colour, though they come in 3 other variations, creating a balanced/neutral choice for boys or girls and in very appealing bright colours, plus the LED/RGB. So at first impressions it looks like Earfun have put quite some thought and consideration for such a low priced wired headphone set. And in many ways, and as described these are tailored to children.I expect they probably sell Bluetooth models for a higher priced, but the cabled design means plug and play for kids who might struggle with Bluetooth pairing. Besides, a wired connection is actually better than the standard Bluetooth codecs you’d be offered at this price range, although EarFun do have licensed LDAC products so they’re become a contender in many audio device markets. So Wired was certainly a wise and intentional choice here, for simple plug and play.However, with these already being brightly coloured and attractive for kids. The choice of adding RGB, comes and the Calls features initially confused me as I looked at the age of some of the kids/models in the listing photos, a few of which even with this Headset version look like they must be only. Since the USB/Type-C interconnect cable is necessary for this RGB, and LEDs or RGB are most definitely sought after by kids and for all ages within the gaming market.But what was not quite clear in the title, is that this USB-C-LED version I have is a headset and not a regular headphone. Whereas the 3.5mm version is a Headphone and a Headset still able to receive calls. And regardless of which version you buy, I disagree that this headset and type C connection provided “wider compatibility of devices compared with 3.5mm”.And then similarly it states that this is compatible with Laptops, Tablets, Android Smart Phones, and the most modern of iPhones. This confused me at first maybe because i’m not a parent, and I think Earfun should clarify the listing and what the differences are in the USB-C headset version vs headphone version as they both have very different compatibility.Also although generally speaking USB-C is superior for power, bandwidth and charging. I don’t know if it was necessary to create two different models, or if the USB-C version provides any benefit whatsoever, even though its digital. The have the same sensitivity, almost the same Ohms and the USB-C version features “passive noise cancelling” – not active. Which is simply naturally produced by the seal on the earpad cushions. I don’t see why the 3.5mm version which looks identical wouldn’t also produce the same passive noise cancelling. The only thing the 3.5mm cannot do is provide the RGB or LED effect, which is certainly appealing to some kids even though you will not even see it when wearing them, I think the non LED version is still very colourful and stylish – I personally prefer the black/red!So why Earfun didn’t just make the USB-C version and provide a 3.5mm cable/adapter which would not increase the cost by much at all, I’m not sure. As it these are virtually the same product and for the minor LED feature alone, I don’t know if they needed to produce two separate versions. As if they had provided this adapter it would be the same product but would have vastly increased its broader compatibility by such a significant amount – the only incompatible devices would have been Lightning connector powered iPhones/iPads although a cheap adapter can solve that too.But anyway, i’ll leave that mystery with the marketing department. I would just say that be aware that the USB-C version and 3.5mm version have quite different compatible and if you are buying this thinking its a typical headphone (albeit a headset also) – Then normally Headphones from entry level tothe most expensive high end devices still use 3.5mm as standard, usually provided with headphone/balanced adapters.So definitely consider which devices you are buying each variant for and whether it supports USB-C, 3,5mm, or some like laptops are likely to support both.Moving on, considering the very low price, since EarFun as an established and reputable company, they’ve done well in using quality materials and design, which is easy for them as they design so many other Headphones and IEMs. The construction is solid enough and somewhat resistant to damage, all the materials and design look fantastic and on my red and black version, as a 37 year old I really like this colour.Although this is a very entry level device, it looks more expensive than it is and I have some expensive Headphones, they have still managed to use lightweight but very nice looking matte black plastic primarily, and the contrasting red. Whilst also using reasonably high quality and comfortable soft cushion earpads with what must be some type of PU leather but still looks great and not a million miles away from what you’d find on higher end devices. The matte finish on mine prevents these drop looking cheap and tacky, similarly they’ve added some soft head cushioning, and also some very prominent pair of grip fin like feature which also serve as an indicator of where the 8-level adjustable sections are to extend the headband section, since this will be used on kids varying in age size – it has good adjustability the same that you find on any good set of headphones and the labelling of the adjustable will be useful for kids of their parents to determine and remember the optimum size easily – this is something you dont find on adult headphones/headsets.They’ve also added the Earfun logo and have managed to create a reasonably premium appearance for the low price, there are some silver screws visible that could have been black/hidden but they don’t bother me and kids aren’t likely to care. Similarly the LEDs on each side don’t appeal to me and can’t be seen when worn – But from a kids perspective and especially for Gaming this is certainly going to be somewhat appealing though I think they also look good without them since they’re each so colourful and evidently designed for kids.And the “strong durability” and ability to twist these all over the place, which would break regular headphones means you’d have to try very hard to damage these, and they’re likely the last a long time, they also fold up to a compact size for storage or portability.Onto the cable, although I had my own ideas on including an adapter, and maybe thats the audiophile/perfectionist in me – Although I still think EarFun have been vague in the description between the two cable types which could lead to confusion/incapability if parents choose the wrong one, inevitably some will.This cable is actually very high quality, lightweight, not easy to tangle almost paracord-like which makes it malleable, with little rigidity yet still remains high quality and resistant to damage. And contrary to my earlier comments and ideas on cables – though a 3.5mm adapter I still insist would have been a good idea, even if it risks getting lost, short of designing a 2 in 1 adapter built into the cable itself…I have to submit, that the non detachable cable makes a huge amount of sense and is another simple but very useful and appropriate design feature for real word usage. Though they could have made a super recessed/deep and detachable cable with a very strong connection. I have to admit that logically it’s the superior choice and makes accidental disconnecting impossible at least from the headphone end and it’s generous length is also perfect for kids.And also the microphone, volume control and calls button section, this has been cleverly designed so it completely encloses the cable, it’s made from some very tough plastic and basically extra care has been implemented to ensure that this crucial section is solidly attached literally surrounding the cable.Again this is something you’re unlikely to see with any adult headphones or IEMs because they rely on the user being careful even on expensive units sometimes the cable and mic section can be somewhat fragile.But the toggle switch is clearly indicated with contrasting white printed 85db to 94db, with the 85db meeting regulations for prolonged listening, i’d naturally ignore this and always listen at 94db but I can say for 20 years or so if listening to high end music on a daily basis through speakers or headphones, it has slightly affected my hearing, not a lot and I can’t say that I’ll ever stop enjoying loud Hi-fidelity music but this allows parents and their kids especially since they are young and potentially more susceptible to damage. It allows the kid/parent to set it at 85db which with the sensitivity on these will be perfectly safe.With the 94db really being for extra headroom perhaps if the source has low volume/amplification but if you want to protect their ears, this should be for short periods only, as most phones have an auto-detection and warning feature also. And this is another very simple but highly appealing safety feature that parents will appreciate.The toggle button has some grip, and the additional calls button plus a tiny hole for the microphone which is pretty normal, although its all plastic it’s made with a very tough plastic with a rough/texture, which looks very good and clearly some kind of coated finish added. This section has really been designed to both look and feel extremely resistant to any kind of damage, more so than many high end expensive IEMs ive owned – this is super-durable. And although the costs of the materials are not high, it’s still very impressive to see on some currently £16 headphones, the value for money continues to exceed my expectations and aside from a possible adapter and vague description, i’m finding it difficult to find anything wrong with this device itself to warrant deducting any stars.Earfun have put so much though, consideration and intelligent R&D into all aspects of this entry level of devices, i’m really very impressed as they could have omitted some of these features to save money, and it still would have been more than adequate considering its price. But they’ve really done exceptionally well with this, considering its not on of their high end units, and the kids themselves will almost certainly never even notice or realise these subtle but highly effective and appropriate design elements.This is exactly what happened when I reviewed and tested some £50 entry level True Warless Earphones which even had LDAC, the sound quality simply blew me away and that wasn’t even using LDAC on my iPhone, or any of my expensive DACs.I’m going to have to cut this review short now or i’ll reach the 20,000 character limit.So i’m just going to say, the functionality using the single button and combinations for pause/next track and so on is very intuitive, once younger kids spend some time with it I cannot fault this, it’s typical as I would expect to find on inexpensive headphones but isn’t lacking in anyway.As for the Sound Quality, being an audiophile I could write an essay on this alone. But to summarise, EarFun have used some 40mm dynamic drivers which offer good soundstage, and as they describe vocal and binaural surround sound – this is an effect as of course these are 2.0 stereo. But without knowing any of the technical details on any DAC or circuitry, all I can say is the soundstage and surround sound effect, however its been implemented sounds pretty good to me for such a low price, obviously it can’t compete with my £800 DAC+IEMS however most likely Earfun have used these 40mm devices in other units, or at least they have access to the manufacturing of their own materials and drivers, so unlike generic equivalents the benefit is that EarFun specialise in making some superb sounding headphones, so they can afford to put higher quality drivers in this headphone compared with many generic or less reputable brands. So i’m quite confident the overall sound quality, the frequency response etc is very, very good despite these being entry level and affordable – I have no similar cheap headphones to compare them to but even compared to my Sennheiser HD650S, they don’t sound awful in comparison despite being well under 10x the price when originally released.But thats because of the law of diminishing returns and brands like Earfun can make high quality audio, without requiring Planar or expensive components.If I tested the frequency response, they’re not going to be monitor or studio level quality, but if you want the best sounding headphones/headset for this price range, then Earfun are among the most likely brands to achieve it, as even their entry level equipment has really shocked me in the past.As for the audio calls, the “HD clarity” that’s highly subjective, but with its passive noise cancelling earmuffs the audio sounds very good to me, at £26 or even £24+ I can’t say these do not sound good and clear for the price. The microphone is not amazing but I can still be heard clearly enough, with realistic expectations for the size of the microphone I wasn’t expecting the quality of my Desktop condenser microphone with a huge surface area and far more expensive with active noise cancelling.But again, without knowing the exact specs and details of the microphone, I can be quite confident that EarFun have almost certainly used higher quality components compared to any generic competitors under £30, and for a kids headset in the single phone call I made I sounded perfectly clear enough and usable for teenager and children during phone calls.So without buying and testing any competitors in this price bracket, and considering i’m used to much higher end equipment I think both the mic and headphones drivers delivery good quality audio in this price bracket, and possibly higher. Unless there are some other big reputable audio brands that have made similar headsets for children, chances are this is class leading for its price bracket, it was better than I was expecting from some £16-24 headphones of any kind.And in conclusion, I could probably mention much more. But overall, from an R&D perspective, every component and feature of this headset has been expertly designed, with no expense spared and it’s surprising the attention to detail EarFun have implemented, whilst seemingly making this profitable.If you’re looking or shopping around for kids headsets, I can’t say I’ve tested all of them but i’d be surprised if you can find a product that matches the overall performance, design and functionality of this. I was doing to give this 4/5, because I think an adapter would have made a lot of sense, and similarly I think the description should be clearer regarding the distinction between the USB-C and 3.5mm compatibility.However since EarFun have clearly caitored for both connectivity types, this allows the parent to decide which one offers the most compatibility based on their kids specific devices. But I think I’ve covered the differences between the two, which might avoid any confusion to some parents who otherwise won’t understand the difference between type C and 3.5mm.But rating this as a product alone, on its own merits I really want to give this 5/5 because Earfun have just done such a good job at designing this Headphone/Headset, that 4/5 doesn’t quite feel justified, for my own minor issue, or subjective oversight of potentially including an adapter. Being an audiophile, we have issues seeking absolute perfection which isn’t so relevant on a sub £20 kids otherwise flawless heatset.

Super teil. Wir sind begeistert

They work like a charm. Lightweight and kids love them.

The headset is Bette than expected. Purchased for my daughter so I had to try them out and was extremely surprised by the comfort and sound quality. External noise was not even an issue when using these on an IPad.
