👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent's Guide to Kids Headphones

Making the Right Choice for Your Child's Hearing Health

🤔 Why Kids Need Special Headphones

Children's ears are more sensitive than adults, and their ear canals are still developing. Regular adult headphones can:

  • ⚠️ Deliver dangerously high volume levels
  • 👂 Cause permanent hearing damage
  • 😣 Be uncomfortable due to improper fit
  • 🏋️ Be too heavy for small heads

💡 That's why LOBKIN designs headphones specifically for children.

❓ Common Questions

Q: Can siblings share headphones?

A: Yes, but clean ear cushions between users to prevent spreading germs. Consider getting different colors to avoid mix-ups.

Q: Are Bluetooth headphones safe for kids?

A: Yes! Bluetooth uses very low-power radio waves that are completely safe. The radiation is far less than a cell phone.

Q: What if my child loses or breaks them?

A: LOBKIN offers a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. We also sell replacement parts. Consider adding a name tag to prevent loss.

Q: How do I know if the volume is too loud?

A: If you can hear the audio clearly when standing next to your child, it's too loud. LOBKIN's 85dB limit prevents this.
