Picture this, it’s a long car trip and your kids are playing on their various electronic devices. Hours of car ride progress.  Over the course of the ride you have heard Mario fall into a pit about 1,000 times and an Angry Bird launch 5,000 times at a minimum also you can now sing every note of the song for fruit ninja. What to do, other then turn these devices into road side litter? Headphones of course. But this can be a bit unnerving as well. Once you start to hear the sounds from their head phones now, you know the sound is up way too high and damage is being done to little ears which were fine just moments ago. The cheap ones are just that- cheap.  You get what you pay for, and they don’t last nor do they have great volume control. Why not upgrade your pair of headphones? There is a great set of earphones (that go into the ear canal) made by ETYKids that is also very easy to travel with.

At the airport, watching and listening to his DVD (and eating, of course)

The way these earphones work is by providing an seal for the listeners ear canal. This keeps the music/sounds from the earphones in, but keeps out the rest of the noise. So your kids don’t have to crank up the sound in order to hear every squeak and hop but can keep the volume at a less painful level. If your kids still insist on cranking the volume up high, the earphones actually govern the sound output so as little damage as possible occurs but the highest fidelity possible is also possible.
Little Man loves these, and so do Mom and Dad. The sound is crisp and clear, the headphones themselves are light and easy to bring around with you on travel and the little guy even likes their ear canal filling effects.
Etymotics’s ETYKids Safe Listening Earphones are available on Amazon, etymotic.com, and other retailers. The retail price is $39. And in my opinion saving the little ears of tomorrow is worth it.
