Back about a month ago, we were off to Disney World. Traveling with a toddler and an infant is no easy feat, yet I knew that there were a few things that would make our travels so much more enjoyable. When packing for an airplane trip, there were a few nonnegotiable items that I made sure that we grabbed to keep our (and those around us) sanity and BuddyPhones was one of them.
I stumbled upon BuddyPhones during my research for the trip months ago. Although we typically have a pretty strict iPad and iPhone rule, I knew that it would be in our best interest to let our typical restrictions go out the window. It was vacation after all, and vacations sometimes call for a bit more fun than rules. With the iPad in tow, I knew it was in our best interest to not only allow Ollie and Lillie to play games, but also watch their favorite shows as they began to get restless on the plane rides. It work perfectly by the way! Yet, we had never invested in any headphones for the kids and when I discovered BuddyPhones, I knew that they would be perfect!
BuddyPhones InFlight Headphones are the perfect kids’ volume-limiting headphones to help keep noise levels down to World Health Organization recommended standards. Protecting those precious little ears means it’s our responsibility as parents to limit our children’s exposure to excessive levels of sound and provide care that won’t expose them to noise levels higher than 85 decibels. I knew that Lillie specifically would not be old enough to express if the noise was too loud, specifically on a noisy plane to begin with and I definitely worry about hearing loss and the exposure my kids get to dangerous levels of noise on a regular basis.
As I continued my research on kid-specific headphones, I was shocked to learn that The Journal of Pediatrics reports that “12.5% of kids between the ages of 6 and 19 suffer from hearing loss as a result of using earphones turned to a high volume.” I just cannot imagine not protecting their little ears while I can make those decisions for them.
Additionally, it was shocking to learn that hearing loss because a child is listening to something too loud can do more than hurt their ears. It causes delayed speech, learning problems, struggle with communication and isolation. I love having options on the BuddyPhones to easily change the sound from 75, 85 and 94db according to your child’s age as well as an easy switch for an airplane mode. The headphones are comfortable and fit nicely over my kids’ tiny heads without falling or sliding down on them. I can also toss them in our bag for future travels and take them anywhere! They compact down to a really small size which is great for when we get stuck somewhere and I need to combat boredom.
More About BuddyPhones
BuddyPhones are created by ONANOFF, a design and technology company taking its name from the most fundamental feature of all electronics: the on and off button. BuddyPhones were inspired by a friend looking for durable and safe headphones for his kids, and when they realized that there weren’t many safe options on the market for children, they decided to give parents a peace of mind and provide a safe sound solution for little ones.
We opted to go with the very stylish BuddyPhones InFlight headphones, which is ONANOFF’s solution for little ones who are on a device and need safe sound. One of my favorite features is the built-in BuddyCable audio splitter that allows up to four headphones to share one device. This is so perfect because there are no issues having multiple kids listening to one device, so Ollie and Lillie can conveniently listen together which will be even better the older they get!

- BuddyPhones InFlight Headphones
