About this deal

The POGS headphones, overall, is a great headphone for kids. It has a fun design that any kids would love and durability that will resist any twist and bend. When it comes to fitting and comfort, the headphone delivers. It fits most sizes and the adjustable band enables it to adjust along as the child grows. Furthermore, the hypoallergenic cushioning is definitely a plus for any parents. With this in mind, one of the safety feature that POGS implemented with their headphones is the maximum volume. What this means is that, the headset limits the loudness level of the sound it produces to acceptable level that will not cause any potential damage to the hearing of the children. Furthermore, even if you set the device volume level to maximum to increase the loudness of sound produces by the headset, the headset will simply adjust its setting to keep the loudness level within the safety range. Pretty cool right?

Despite being a little quieter than most we tested the audio from the 40mm drivers was fine. We’ve heard worse full-sized designs that cost more, but they do sound – probably deliberately and sensibly – rather restrained. Again, see the previous statement before buying for discerning older teens. Because children’s and teenagers’ ears are different to adults’, you can’t just sling them a pair of your cans to shut their devices up, we’re afraid. For one, their ears are smaller, but they’re also still developing. If children are exposed to loud sounds, it can cause irreparable damage to their hearing, and maybe even permanent hearing loss. The POGS headphone are engineered to adjust as the child grows. It comes with an adjustable headband sizes and you can adjust the headphone up to three different levels. OK, so after begging for days, you’ve finally caved and got them their most-wanted piece of tech – perhaps a fancy smartwatch or a Nintendo Switch, maybe even a tablet or a smartphone. Kudos to you, you could’ve just got them a Tamagotchi.Sound quality from the 40mm drivers is as good as it needs to be and the battery life is solid, with 16 hours with noise cancelling on and 24 hours with it switched off. The standby charge is rated to 200 hours too, so you shouldn’t have to keep charging them. They fitted well on all the kids who tried them, and while they didn’t match the JBL for ear squishiness, no comfort issues were raised. We think they’re an ideal pair for an older child eight to 12 years and with 24 hour battery and the ability to daisy-chain them together for listening parties with the bundled cable, there’s a lot to like. Since the POGS headphones is designed for kids, we assume that the designing values the durability and quality of the product overall. This also led us to believe that the sound quality will be average. Furthermore, we also assume that there's won't be any heavy bass or low tones to protect the developing hearing senses of the kids. This feature also works with POGS link cables. It's the cable that lets you attach one POGS headphone to another.

But kids’ headphones, more often than not, have a volume limiter on them, so developing ears stay safe. In our round-up, we’ve listed the maximum volume on all headphone entries, so you know they’re definitely child-proof. After testing the headphones ourselves, we can conclude that the sound quality is above average. Low tones can be heard but is weak, the mids and highs are clear in a sense of satisfactory experience but nothing miraculous. Sound quality score: 6.5/10 As we already mentioned above, children are more exposed and vulnerable to the harmful effects of loud noises including listening to loud music. Because of this, casual headphones that you can easily buy off the market including earphones and earbuds will simply not work. We also do not recommend using them for your children or to any kids. The headphones emit light on the sides. No bright light, but cozy light. In the shape of a tent. How well does the POGS headphones fit According to WHO, children are vulnerable to the harmful effects of loud noises including listening to loud music. This can then led to permanent or irreversible hearing damage. Safety of the kids while using POGS headphonesThe POGS headphones are rated to last up to 12 hours of continuous listening. Unfortunately, we are not certain about the battery capacity used for these headphones. Battery score: 8.5/10
