Rank #6 in Best Kids Headphones: 9 Ranked, and the Battery Claims That Don't Add Up
Puro Sound Labs BT2200 Plus Kids Headphones, Teal
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Puro Sound Labs BT2200 Plus is the sixth product in this guide to kids' headphones: a teal pair of volume-limiting Bluetooth headphones priced at £80.00, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 538 ratings. The headline claim on the listing is the 85dB volume ceiling, which appears both in the first two bullets and in the specification fields.
What the listing does not settle is where these headphones sit on your child's head. The title says "Over-Ear & Comfy Design", while the specification fields answer On Ear for ear placement and for earpiece shape, and Supra-Auricular for form factor. The fourth bullet explains the split: the BT2200 Plus ships with interchangeable ear cups, so you switch "from on-ear to over-ear cushions for a better seal". The other headline number holds up better — 20-hour battery in the title, and "up to 20 hours of battery life for music playback" in bullet three, alongside 200 hours of standby. The rating count is where a second figure moves: the listing advertises 538 ratings, but the star breakdown shown beside it adds up to 100 ratings, of which 74 are five-star and 8 are one-star. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it appears there; none of it comes from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I love these headphones but more importantly the customer service is excellent. I have bought a lot of different headphones for my daughter over the last few years and they have all broken very quickly. I decided to take a risk and spend a bit more money on these and I don't regret it one bit, they have been excellent for over 18 months. In fact I bought a second blue pair for my son.They did however develop a fault this week so I contacted the company to see if they could help me out. The response I received went way beyond what I expected especially due to the fact they were out of warranty. Despite the headphones being out of warranty they ran through a couple of trouble shooting steps and when that didn't work they shipped me a new pair.I would highly recommend these headphones but more importantly the company seems to really value it's customers, I will be using this company whenever possible.”
Verified purchase“Great device, built quality very good, volume limit functionality is working as it should be. My 7yo son is using for audible for hours; very comfy. In addition, customer service is very responsive. In case you need; they are there for you, punctual and prompt answers.”
