Puro Sound Labs, known for its line of sound-limiting headphones for kids, has upgraded its PuroQuiet Kids headphones with the new PuroQuiet Plus, which comes in new colours and features a USB-C connector.
The PuroQuiet Plus headphones now come in purple and teal as well for a total of six colour options, each available for US$140.
The new headphones are made of high-quality aluminium with plush noise-isolating ear-pads. The Puro Balanced Response curve and digital signal processing (DSP) enable volume-limiting to prevent ear damage. Kids will hear sound, music, movie, and game dialogue clearly, which reduces the need to increase the volume. Even if they do, the volume is limited to 85dB, the level that’s safe for children, as recommended by the Hearing Health Foundation, OSHA, and World Health Organization.
Additionally, the PuroQuiet Plus headphones have an active noise cancellation feature that suppresses ambient noise levels. It blocks out daily noise and background sounds up to 22dB, complemented by 82% noise isolation. It can also help calm children down in a loud and unfamiliar environment, reduce noise related stress, and increase their overall focus without the distraction of ambient noise, says Puro. In fact, Puro Sound Labs is Certified Sensory Inclusive.
Additional features include Bluetooth 4.0 for CD-like quality wireless audio, a highly sensitive microphone for taking calls or gaming with friends, and up to 16-hours of active battery life, even with active noise cancellation on. They can also be used for up to 200 hours in standby mode.
The PuroQuiet is designed to keep music at suitable volume levels for children whilst maintaining a balanced sound signature. The default 85dB volume limiting prevents kids and teens from suffering the gradual but permanent hearing damage by cranking the sound up too high unintentionally.
The soft protein leather wrapped headband and ear cushions are lightweight and comfortable. There’s also a smooth sliding arm so children can adjust to suit their head sizes. The fold flat design allows easy portability when playing and travelling.
