If you're like most families, your kids listen to a lot of music, TV shows, and games through headphones every day. But that very tech that helps you have quiet can also harm your children's hearing. That's why the 1More HQ20 Kids Wireless Headphones with built-in volume protection are so important. Not only do they offer excellent music reproduction, but they help protect their hearing invisibly. It's a win:win, as parent and tech expert Dave Taylor explains.

these children's headphones have
0:01
surprisingly good sound let's check them

out Dave Taylor here and having had
0:13
three kids I will tell you that they
0:16
love their media they loved their
0:18
devices they still love their devices
0:20
and they endlessly watch things and play
0:24
games and chat with their friends
0:26
started out on the phone and now it's on
0:28
tablets too but if you're like me you
0:32
might be thinking hm how safe are those
0:35
headphones for their young hearing and I
0:38
know and you know too that little people
0:41
are very want to jam up the music and
0:44
really get it going especially when they
0:47
hit their tween and teens forget about
0:49
it they're going to listen to things as
0:51
loud as they can enter these These are
0:55
the one more hq2 kids wireless head
1:00
phones and obviously they're sized for a
1:02
smaller head but they have some secret
1:05
features that let you limit the maximum
1:08
volume not only that but it's smart
1:11
enough so that if they are listening
1:13
really loud after a short period of time
1:16
it will actually lower the volume
1:18
automatically so that they never exceed
1:21
the recommended hearing level at
1:24
specific levels of volume and that's
1:26
really important because our kids aren't
1:29
s self monitoring to make sure they're
1:31
not damaging their hearing long term so
1:33
it's up to us to get them the gear and
1:36
equipment that lets them actually enjoy
1:39
what they want to do while still having
1:41
it within safe parameters that's just
1:44
smart so let's talk about these so as I
1:47
said these are the hq2 kids wireless
1:50
headphones they come in four colors
1:52
black white pink and this light blue I
1:55
really like this blue actually like all
1:57
their colors but this blue is really
1:59
attractive
2:00
now what might surprise you is that they
2:02
actually feature 40 mm DLC Dynamic
2:05
drivers they're actually part of the one
2:08
more sonof flow line they call these the
2:11
sonof flow mini but the sound
2:14
reproduction is remarkably good and
2:16
honestly there's no reason our kids
2:18
shouldn't be enjoying good audio sound
2:21
if they're listening to music or
2:23
watching a movie or their favorite TV
2:26
show or something why wouldn't they want
2:28
best possible audio so these deliver
2:31
it's an ovar design as you can see
2:33
they're very flexible and expandable so
2:37
expandable that I can actually put them
2:39
on my head although it's a little bit of
2:41
a cozy fit because they're really
2:43
designed for smaller heads they're also
2:45
extremely light they are 6.4 o or 181 G
2:50
if you prefer that and battery life they
2:52
are Wireless they do need to be charged
2:54
they have 65 hours of battery life and a
2:58
10-minute charge will give you five more
3:00
hours of listening which is really nice
3:03
on the bottom of the right hand
3:05
headphone everything's on the rightand
3:06
headphone on the bottom of the right-and
3:08
headphone is a USBC Port comes with a
3:11
USBC charging cable and let me show you
3:14
a closeup so you can see on the left
3:17
side of the right ear cup are the
3:20
multi-function controls and here's a
3:22
little cheat sheet show you some of the
3:25
things you can do with them and then
3:27
there are various LED indicators the two
3:30
lights you don't have to tell your kids
3:32
this but you can glance over and see by
3:35
the Light configuration how loud their
3:38
music is which is pretty cool so it
3:41
actually shows by color whether they're
3:44
at the maximum volume the medium volume
3:48
or the low volume so let me Define those
3:51
so the volume limits are 75 DB is low
3:55
limit 85 DB is medium limit and that's
3:59
the default setting and then 95 DB is
4:02
the high limit I will say that
4:05
pediatrician recommendations is that you
4:07
shouldn't let kids listen or you
4:09
shouldn't yourself listen to 95 DB or
4:12
higher for more than 30 minutes without
4:15
that having some sort of adverse impact
4:17
on hearing so these automatically step
4:20
down now you're wondering okay how do I
4:23
configure all that and there's an app so
4:26
there's the one more app so let's do
4:29
this first let's um hook this up with
4:32
the app so let me get my recording going
4:35
so you can see what I
4:36
see and
4:39
then in here I have it's a little
4:42
confusing because there's a one more
4:44
music and there's a one more app so this
4:46
one you want the one more app but let's
4:48
turn these headphones on first so two
4:51
seconds with the button and then one of
4:54
the lights comes on and it's flashing
4:59
and it's so I'm going to stretch these
5:02
out put them on my head no laughter
5:05
these are just headphones they're just
5:07
you know a little smaller so now when I
5:11
launch the one more app you can see that
5:13
it's automatically connected to the HQ
5:17
20s and it does have EQ settings which
5:20
is really nice not sure your kids going
5:22
to care but you can also drop down some
5:25
of the highs and in fact these
5:27
automatically do that because one of the
5:29
things that researchers have found is
5:32
that when you're very young your hearing
5:34
Works differently and the higher pitch
5:37
and higher frequency sounds actually can
5:40
be more painful than for when you're
5:43
older so these automatically instead of
5:46
having a flat response they actually
5:49
drop it down a little bit at the high
5:51
end to protect that precious young
5:54
hearing so you can actually do an EQ and
5:58
have settings even more like that then
6:01
there's the hearing protection and so
6:03
this is what I was talking about so you
6:04
can see that it is set to medium volume
6:08
and this is going to be the maximum
6:11
volume that these headphones will
6:13
reproduce so if your child just cranks
6:16
it up to 11 it's not going to matter the
6:19
headphones aren't going to get that loud
6:21
so that's one of the most important
6:23
features then there's this earphone
6:25
Monitor and you can set it to different
6:28
settings or just turn it off
6:32
and there's
6:33
shortcuts and you can turn on low
6:35
latency for gaming if they complain that
6:37
everything's lagging a little bit I
6:39
didn't really notice much with that and
6:41
then there's settings and settings are
6:43
obviously also really important in fact
6:45
when I pulled these out of the box the
6:47
first thing that happened was it said
6:48
hey there's a firmware update so I did
6:50
that took about 5 10 minutes but this is
6:53
again where you can really make sure
6:56
that your kids headphones are fully up
6:58
to date and that burn in let me just tap
7:00
on that so you can see um it's super
7:03
easy it basically you turn on the
7:06
headphones you pair them with your phone
7:08
and you let burn and run for even a day
7:11
but certainly overnight when you first
7:12
get them and it just makes them sound
7:15
better and you know do you have to do
7:18
that no is it a good idea probably so
7:22
that's most everything and you can see
7:25
there is even experimental features
7:28
though none of them are implement mented
7:29
at this point with these headphones so
7:32
that's the headphones let me stop the
7:35
recording and now let's go to
7:44
voice and what you're hearing now is my
7:47
voice as picked up by the one more hq2
7:51
kids wireless headphones and where this
7:53
is such a win is because this means that
7:56
your kids could have like Grandma on the
7:59
tab or you on their phone and they can
8:02
be using these and you're going to sound
8:04
really good to them because they're on
8:06
headphones and they're going to sound
8:08
really good to you because it has a
8:09
really nice mic pickup so I think
8:12
they've done so much right here let me
8:15
switch microphones back now so that's
8:18
everything and I got to say I'm really
8:20
impressed they're a little bit small for
8:23
my head I will say that because of the
8:26
sort of relative design on my head they
8:29
tended to be more like this whereas you
8:31
really want them more like that but
8:34
that's because they're designed for a
8:35
smaller head so they are working right
8:38
it's my head that's too
8:40
big do not leave any comments about that
8:43
thank you very much so as I said the big
8:46
win with this is really nice audio
8:48
reproduction coupled with volume
8:51
limiting and they are fun and easy and
8:54
portable and they have protein leather
8:56
in all the right places so they're super
8:59
com comfortable and I think your kids
9:02
going to love these and they're going to
9:04
just be so excited to get a new pair of
9:06
headphones that make things sound better
9:08
they'll never even know that they're
9:10
volume limiting and there's nothing on
9:13
here that indicates that now I know I
9:15
have older kids so I automatically think
9:17
of tween and teens saying I'm going to
9:20
overcome any limitations you've set on
9:22
me because I'm a free person and you are
9:24
not the boss of me I'm glad to be Beyond
9:27
those
9:28
points but if you have younger kids
9:30
they're not even going to think about it
9:31
they're not even going to know that it's
9:33
the possibility to have these be volume
9:35
limited so if they're watching their
9:37
favorite show and they just think it's
9:38
so funny the 173rd time they've watched
9:42
this show they want to just like turn
9:44
the volume all the way up you can rest
9:46
assured that with these headphones
9:48
they're not damaging their hearing and
9:50
that's a really wonderful thing now one
9:53
more really cool thing is it's a dual
9:55
device connect so it actually supports
9:58
having you
9:59
have these paired with a tablet and an
10:02
phone at the same time and it will work
10:04
with whichever one you want so your kid
10:07
can be on the tablet and then the phone
10:09
call comes in and they'll switch
10:10
logically so really a big win there's a
10:14
lot to like about these and I think that
10:16
the design they've really got this
10:19
really well nailed so there you go I am
10:22
going to ask you to subscribe to my

10:45
headphones they come in black white pink
10:48
or light blue and they are
10:52
$39.99 at usa. one more.com and honestly
10:57
this is one of the smartest Investments
10:59
you can make to make sure that when your
11:01
kids grow into young adults and into
11:04
adults that they still have really good
11:06
hearing there is an alarming amount of
11:10
young adults that have hearing loss and
11:13
it doesn't just magically fix itself
11:15
this is something that's a preventative
11:17
problem and these are the kind of things
11:19
that help you do that as a parent so
11:22
really slick Solution that's all I got
