If your kids are like mine it often takes an industrial-strength crowbar to separate them from their tablet. Now we obviously try to ration time etc there is one factor we as parents just don't have control over and that's the volume. On Apple devices, at least, there is just no way you can limit the level of sound so before you know it your little one has moved that slider all the way up to 11.

While obviously this causes a nuisance for everyone else, you also start to fear for their hearing. However, there is one way of solving that problem and that is by picking up a pair of children's headphones which have a maximum volume cap that not only keeps things quieter for you but also quieter for your kids, too. Here is a small selection currently on the market.

.. Belkin SoundForm Mini Kids Wireless Headphones A really solid pair of children's wireless phones.

Dead easy to set up and with a battery life of up to 30 hours, these are limited to 85dB to protect little ones' ears. Cushions and headband offer comfortable all-day use, while overall build quality is great meaning they're built to last. A really nice touch is that they come with a bunch of stickers that lets your child personalise the phones.

They are a little more expensive than their competitors. Cost: £29.99 JLab JBuddies Wireless headphones with built-in volume-limiting tech which means the volume never goes above 85db.
