You don't have to be a kid to love these headphones
0:02
Let's check them out. Dave Taylor here with these
0:13
These are the I-Clever cat ear Bluetooth headphones, model BTH-19. And they're surprisingly pretty darn sweet
0:22
Now, most obviously, they have some really great light patterns, which you can turn off if you want to, or turn off
0:30
back on because why would you not want to have these lights on? So fun. And the ears do not remove
0:36
These are headphones with built-in cat ears. There's no way around it. And I will tell you
0:42
my 19-year-old daughter thinks these are the bomb. She is absolutely eager to get these off of my
0:48
hands when I'm done with this review. So you don't have to be nine years old to really appreciate
0:53
these. But there's a lot that I Clever's done to make these really smart, kid-friendly
0:59
headphones. Now, they feature 40 millimeter drivers, so they actually have surprisingly good audio
1:05
reproduction. Music is very listenable with these, and there's bass, there's a lot of soundstage
1:12
They're not audiophile, they're not priced to be audiophile, but they're surprisingly good
1:17
and very listenable. But more importantly, they have built-in volume limiting. So there's three
1:23
settings you can use depending on the sensitivity of your children's ears and your concerns. And your
1:28
concerned with their jamming the music and really potentially having some hearing loss
1:33
which is a serious issue. So you can set this for 74, 85, or 94 decibel volume limiting
1:41
Honestly, 94 decibel volume limiting is pretty darn loud, so I'd turn it down. But nonetheless
1:48
having these and they adjustable so they will fit little tiny heads In fact they fit little heads better than they fit my head because that where they designed for But having that with the ability for you to say you can get louder than this certain point is really smart
2:05
Because you don't know what your kids are listening to because they're headphones so you can't hear how loud the music is
2:11
And it can be harmful. So built-in microphone, obviously colorful RGB lighting
2:17
It's a USBC charge and there's USB on the edge here. In fact, let me just show you real quick
2:25
There is a whole array of buttons. The M turns on and off the lights
2:30
Volume up, volume down with a multifunction button in the middle. And then there's a slider for power on, power off
2:37
And there's also a 3.5 millimeter input. So if you don't want to use Bluetooth and you want your child to plug directly into an audio source, you can do that instead
2:47
all supported. There are no controls on the other side and the sides feature these
2:53
really fun sort of 3D looks more like a raccoon than a cat to me but you can
2:59
actually pop this plastic off if you want to actually touch the 3D printing
3:05
here. Again not sure why you do that but you can now back to charging is that
3:11
it gives you 45 hours of playtime without the lights turned on so it be more
3:16
like this. So 45 hours of playtime, obviously having the lights on the whole time is going to
3:22
lower your battery life, but still, that's a long time. And USBC charging, it includes a USB
3:29
charging cable and a 3.5 millimeter cable too, if you want to use it in wired mode. And it does
3:36
obviously support both Bluetooth wireless and it's Bluetooth 5.2. So it's the latest generation
3:41
of Bluetooth These are surprisingly advanced You look at these and you hear the I tell you that in a second And you think oh gosh these are going to be like five technologies These are pretty cutting edge These are pretty impressive Now they are foldable like this They are lightweight
4:01
They are adjustable. And these are protein leather soft earmuffs. And so protein leather is not leather
4:09
It's not from an animal source. And they actually have. have really good sound
4:14
And in fact, I want to give you a quick demo because there's a built-in microphone
4:18
and that does a pretty good job too. Let me just make sure everything's working
4:22
turn the light back on. And first off, I'm gonna play some music
4:28
just to make sure. Okay, everything's back, so thank you, Billy Joel
4:32
Now I'm gonna go to voice memos and what you're hearing now is actually this picking up my voice
4:41
So you're hearing the audio. if you had your child wearing these headphones and they were talking to you on a phone call, for example, or maybe via Zoom or something
4:52
So a surprisingly good pickup, surprisingly good audio. Again, this has better technology than you would expect from the price and from the design
5:02
Just because it's for kids doesn't mean it's not good. Now, let me switch back
5:07
And as I said, there's really a lot to like. It's really a surprise
5:13
These are a surprisingly good pair of headphones. Now, let me also point out that it comes with this very nice little pink carrying case or
5:23
a carrying bag, and it's just a sort of felt-like material with the graphic on the front
5:29
So it's just a lot to like here. And I really can imagine any kid who would receive this as a present and not be very excited never knowing that you have surreptitiously adjusted it so it has volume limiting And they just like God they don get super loud And it like you right
5:47
That's what I did. And that's for your benefit. So really, the only thing we need to talk about at this point is we need to talk about the price
5:55
You're going to be startled by the price. But before we get there, I'm going to ask if you could please subscribe to my channel, click or
6:01
tap on the subscribe button, and then a click or a tap on that little notify bell
6:07
icon and we're connected. Now, if you found this review to be helpful, beneficial, useful
6:14
informative, a like or a thumbs-ups always also appreciated. So go ahead and do that if you're
6:19
so inspired. And these, push them down a little bit, these are the I Clever Cat Ear Bluetooth
6:28
headphones and they are $39.99 at Amazon.com. Yep, $39. Honestly, I think they could charge more
6:37
but don't tell them that. And they are really nice sounding. They have a decent microphone for conversations
6:45
And obviously, vast amounts of fun with the ears and the light up, RGB and everything
6:50
There's a lot to like here. These are definitely ones worth checking out whether you got little squirts
6:55
or whether you just have someone who or you yourself happen to be really into
7:00
this sort of style and design and they are comfortable and they're definitely worth checking out
7:06
That's all I got. I'm going to go back to my fairly childish music
7:11
So I'll have to catch you in my next video
