Tech Review – Planet Buddies wireless headphones for kids.

Planet Buddies recently announced new headphones for kids which are a safer option with a volume limit and they also look nice with the colours they have on offer. Having tested these out with my daughter they are a really nice pair of headphones for kids lightweight and give good sound considering they are aimed at kids.

Design and build

These are lightweight and can be worn for long periods of time and can be connected to tablets and mobile phones and you also have the option to share the headphones with an extra headphone socket built in.

Controls

The controls are kept nice and simple here and are on one side with a nav pad type setup build into the outer cup of the headphones and they work really well, the power key serves as a play and pause button to and you can skip and reverse tracks and control the volume too with this navi pad control and it will be super simple for kids to follow unlike more high end ones that would be confusing to some extent but kids still often get them as gifts etc so simplicity is key here.

Sound

Sound is great considering they are kids headphones after all and even from my own testing they pass as a decent quality set of headphones with good sound and not forgetting the volume control here too which is a good thing as for me I like to go max volume which is more than likely doing my ears no good. There is no app or anything like that so it is a simple job to just connect to the desired device and off you go job done.

Conclusion

These are ideal for kids and make a great gift idea and look nice and easy to recommend with the safety aspect of keeping your kids hearing in check they should be on your list for Christmas or birthdays or if you want to just cheer a child up as they are not expensive either. They also have a really good battery life as you know how it is with kids they forget to charge things,these go a good distance. The new wireless headphones comes in a variety of characters including Pepper the Penguin, Olive the Owl and Pippin the Panda. The headphones allow kids the freedom to move without a wire and get the feel of what wireless headphones is as most would be custom to cabled options.

Custom stickers can greatly stimulate children’s creativity and unique individuality. Children can create their own unique sticker designs based on their own imaginations and submit them to GSJJ. Whether it’s a drawing of a monster, a dream castle, or a photo with a friend, print the stickers and apply them to the headphones, instantly transforming them into something unique and a symbol of personal style. For children, this is undoubtedly a creative world full of fun and endless possibilities.

Tech Review – BuddyPhones Cosmos plus kids wireless headphones. #Tech #Kids

Recently on Tech Buzz we checked out the BuddyPhones School Plus wireless headphones for education for kids and now we check out the more advanced pair which for me are an excellent pair of headphones and well thought out for older kids and in fact offer more than you would expect when it comes to features, there is no app support or voice assistant however everything else is there including ANC and a detachable mic which is great and really gives kids an idea of what their parents might be wearing in the house as most of us work from home now but not only that it can be used for gaming and perhaps taking calls and so on and the quality is quite good on the mic too.

With more adjustments on this headset you get a great fit and these do not clamp onto your head either from both me and my daughter testing them we where both pleased with these headphones and even from the audio perspective they are really good and better than one would expect when it comes to music gaming and more, In fairness kids would not be that much bothered by the audio experience but they are really good, these are for kids remember but the audio is decent for all purposes.

ON one side you again have the controls for music and the other is power/on/off and the ANC button with the controls again you can skip and reverse tracks./play and pause music and change the volume and these controls work perfectly fine all the time everytime.

The headset is comfortable to wear for long periods of time and lightweight too and I cant see any kids having issues with these. To block out distracting background noise, simply switch on the active noise cancellation which allows the child to listen clearly  without turning the volume up needlessly high.

To protect the child’s hearing, the BuddyPhones Cosmos+ has 3 SafeAudio levels  to choose from. Set the level to TravelMode: 94dB(max) KidsMode: 85dB(max) or ToddlerMode 75dB(max) depending on the child’s  age or environment such as when traveling by airplane. The BuddyPhones Cosmos+ are the world’s only headphones to combine active noise-cancelling technology,  volume-limiting circuitry, and 3 listening settings in one premium SafeAudio product for kids.

Features

‧ Active Noise Cancellation 

‧ 24-hour Battery Life (playback + ANC)

Tech Review – BuddyPhones School plus wireless headphones for kids. #Tech

The BuddyPhones school plus headphones are ideal for kids who need headphones for either school or just listening to music playing games, these being the cheapest of the two pairs we have in are probably the best option to start them off with and get going and getting use to headphones but these also have a mic that is removable and unlike more expensive headsets out there the mic is detachable which for me is a real win.

This headset is super light and made with mainly plastic all round and is also a robust product which makes it ideal for kids who tend to drop things and throw them around the place, these are also easy to clean and have no parts that could fall off and overall a solid product, the cups are small on these being aimed at kids yet comfortable and do not clamp onto your head either..

There is raised buttons on one side to by way of three circles that controls the music which is very simple and not a complicated setup. You can play and pause, skip and reverse tracks and change the volume which is great, this headset can also be used for gaming too which also works really well and also be used with your tablet and mobile phone and all the controls work just fine all the time.

The mic also works well not that kids would be taking any calls however for gaming it does a decent job too and the fact it can be removed is a real bonus.

BuddyPhones School+ offers 3 SafeAudio settings to choose from. With the special StudyMode it can be tailored to the child’s educational needs, at home or at school. The new look has super comfortable fabric headband and sports all new style housing with dedicated sticker area. Their patented StudyMode helps isolate voices from other sounds, producing crisper, clearer vocals for studying or watching  lessons. With the dual connection feature, the headphones can be used both wirelessly or wired, meaning there’s no interruption  from your favourite video or music if the battery runs low.

Tech Review – RIWBOX XBT-780 bluetooth headphones.

RIWBOX is a brand that have super affordable headphones and more on offer for sale on Amazon and can also be purchased from their site directly and you can take a look at their entire catalogue. Costing around 40 euros at the time of press these are an affordable pair of headphones that also look good and come in two colours and are also easy to take care off. You can see a quick shorts unboxing here..

With a clean design and look they are simple to use with all the buttons on one side which makes life easy, there is three buttons that do all the controls which we go through in the video below. there is a ratchet style arm extension both sides and they is not much more movement here when it comes to the cups as they are locked into place..

Comfort is fine here even with long term use and that is important,no sweating like some headphones and they are also not clamped onto your head either, despite the lack of flexibility in general they did not cause me any problems during my testing.

When it comes to sound they are pretty good all round and better than expected for their price point and would easily please any teenager or adult, the volume is decent highs lows and mids and so on and ideal for watching movies and gaming etc.

There is no auto play and pause here nor an app or assistant access but you can take calls and control and quick access last call on phone.. Also to note you do get the option to use the 3.5mm cable which has an inline control should you run out of juice so overall for anyone an ideal package for them starting off..

There is three types of headphones on offer and all have a DB limit to 85DB for the safety of kids ears and something perhaps I should pay heed to as I love to go max out on volume all the time. My review is based on how they look work and sound and not the usual review I do as these are aimed at kids however they sound good and very useable indeed and also look great with their colours and the message they are trying to get across now like many companies in the tech world.
