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

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
