Gadgets: Truly great sound from Brick dock
 

By GREGG ELLMAN

Typically, when a brick and an expensive media player are combined, it's not a great combination.

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.
