Young rockers plug into their own music
with headphones
By GREGG ELLMAN
Kidz Gear headphones are just that: headphones designed for kids
age 2 and up and are available in wired or wireless models.
The construction has soft padded ear cups, which swivel for
comfort and are uniquely designed for kids' smaller ears.
An adjustable plastic headband connects the two speakers.
The wired model has a cord about 4-feet long with a standard
3.5-inch input jack to connect to just about any device. A
volume control is on the cord.
A volume-limiting device works with the wired unit. This will
plug into the headphones and the media device, allowing parents
to limit the upper range of volume available to kids.
If you choose the wireless model, a transmitter must also be
purchased to connect to the device and the wireless model
requires three AAA batteries.
To control the wireless headphones, an on/off switch and volume
controls are located on the ear cup.
The headphones retail at $16.99 for wired, wireless $29.99 for
wireless (necessary transmitter is $14.99);
