Rank #9 in Best Kids Headphones: 9 Ranked, and the Battery Claims That Don't Add Up
Philips TAK4206 Kids Wireless Headphones, 28H, 83dB
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
These are the Philips kids wireless on-ear headphones, ninth in this guide. The listing puts them at £33.93 with a 4.0 rating from 1,559 reviews, and the title leads with 28 hours of play time. The bullets describe an 83dB volume limit, Bluetooth 5.0 with a 10-metre range, four colours of light in the earcups, and the Philips Headphones App for adjusting volume and play time.
The number that doesn't close on this listing isn't the hours — it's the shape. The title says on-ear; the fifth bullet calls the same product "foldable over-ear wireless headphones". That same bullet says a case is included for storage, while the box contents field lists only a user manual, charging cable and earphones, and one reviewer says no carry case arrived in the box. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Just what we were looking for. Robust, easy for a kid to use and simple to pair with phone/tablet etc. They don't come with a carry case which would have made them perfect but we repurposed a case from some old headphones which worked fine.”
Verified purchase“Amazing brought to stop grandchild volume from I pad and chrome book and absolutely worked just silence brilliant.”
What it is up against
The rivals it was ranked against in Best Kids Headphones: 9 Ranked, and the Battery Claims That Don't Add Up.
Questions people ask
How long does the Philips TAK4206 battery last?
The title says 28 hours of play time. No other part of the listing repeats or contradicts that figure, so 28 hours is the only claim on the page.
Are these headphones on-ear or over-ear?
The title calls them on-ear; the fifth bullet calls them "foldable over-ear wireless headphones". The listing uses both descriptions.
How loud can they go?
The first bullet says volume is limited to 83dB, and the Philips Headphones App can automatically lower the volume if it goes too high.
Do they come with a case?
The fifth bullet says a case is included for storage, but the box contents field lists only User Manual, Charging Cable and Earphones.
Can I set a time limit?
Yes. The Philips Headphones App lets you limit play time, and a voice prompt alerts your child when the limit is reached.
Who are they aimed at?
The age range field says Kid. The volume is capped at 83dB and the ear-cup cushions and headband are described as soft.
