You’re probably wondering, “Where do I find awesome on-ear headphones for my kids?!” And also, “Where are my keys!?” Don’t worry, we found your keys. AND we can help you with your little tech problem. myFirst should always be your first stop. There’s no better place to find the best kids’ tech for your child, and headphones are no exception!
Let’s take a look at why you’d be choosing on-ear headphones in the first place.
Why Buy On-Ear Headphones?

Kids Can Listen to Their Own Stuff: Your kids can enjoy their music, movies, and shows, all while they’re still within arm’s reach (but without the added noise).
Age Appropriate: Your children might be too young for adult inner-ear headphones. On-ear headphones still provide a premier listening experience.
They’re Cool: The iconic profile of on-ear headphones is hard to beat. Modern earbuds don’t have the same flair. Your kids will love how much they look like early 2000’s DJs!
What makes our myFirst CareBuds MAX your best choice for On-Ear Headphones?
Other than us just saying so
myFirst has everything you’d want in an on-ear headphone. Designed specifically to protect young ears from harmful decibels, the CareBuds MAX take listening to the next level.
Safety First: All of myFirst’s products are designed, built, and tested to be safe for children. Tech should be empowering and risk-free. Like firebreathing. The CareBuds MAX come with safe volume-limiting technology. The 85 decibel Safe Mode allows for easy listening in quieter environments, and the 95 decibel travel mode lets your child hear their audio clearly in busy environments. Like the bus or the autograph line for Scott Foley.
Definitely Comfortable: The CareBuds MAX might have tons of high-quality sound packed inside, but it doesn’t weigh it down! Lightweight and sleek, these on-ear headphones are a pleasure to wear in any weather. Adapt to the day’s temperature with two pairs of interchangeable ear pads: Cozy for the cold, cooling for the heat.
Great Listening Anywhere: Wireless listening makes it even easier for your kids to enjoy their music and media on the go. Road trips are that much more fun with up to eight hours of listening time off of a single, lightning-fast ten-minute charge.
Pass Through Tech: We want your kids to be immersed in their music and shows, just not TOO immersed. You won’t have to worry about your kids hearing you with our Smart Transparency mode. Once your kiddo starts moving, the mode turns on, allowing outside, ambient sound to get through. You’ll only have to shout their name a couple of times!
The CareBuds MAX are another great, parent-trusted product from myFirst. We’re always proud to give kids and families the tools to learn, play, and explore together.
