Wired over-ear headphones for girls with holographic cat ears, a dual hearing-safe volume limit, and a sharing port for two
Most children’s headphones offer one job: keep the volume down. These do that, then go further. There are two switchable volume levels to match where your child is listening. A built-in microphone handles online classes and calls. A sharing port lets two pairs plug into one device at the same time. And the design, a metallic gradient finish with holographic iridescent cat ears, makes these the kind of headphones a child actually wants to wear.
Available in pink and purple. Suitable for ages 3 and above. Works with any device that has a 3.5mm audio jack. BPA and PVC free.

The Dual Volume Limiter: Why It Matters
Children’s hearing is more sensitive than adults’, and standard headphone volumes can cause permanent damage with prolonged use. These headphones address that with a switchable two-level volume limit, controlled by a slider on the in-line cable control. There is no way to accidentally exceed the selected limit regardless of the device volume setting.
For home learning, audiobooks, and quiet listening. Meets the level recommended for safe extended use during school and study sessions.
For noisier environments like cars, trains, and flights where a slightly higher level is needed to hear clearly over background noise.
The slider switch on the cable moves between the two modes in a single motion. Parents can set it before handing over the headphones and the child cannot override it by turning the device volume up. This is the kind of practical safety feature that makes a real difference for parents who want their children listening independently.
The Design Up Close
The headband features two holographic iridescent cat ears that sit upright on either side and shift colour under different lighting, catching pinks, purples, greens, and blues depending on the angle. The earcup shells have a metallic gradient finish that transitions from pink to mint or from purple to teal depending on the colour chosen. The overall effect is eye-catching and precisely matched to the kind of aesthetic that girls aged 3 to 12 are drawn to.
The ear cushions are soft PU leather with a slightly plush inner surface that sits comfortably around the ear without pressing directly on it. The headband padding runs the full length of the interior arc and distributes pressure evenly across different head sizes. The adjustable sliders on both sides of the headband allow the fit to be dialled in precisely, and the hinged fold mechanism lets the headset collapse flat for storage in a bag.
Built to Last Through Childhood
Children are not careful with cables. The cord on these headphones is a tear-resistant braided nylon covering a 3.65ft (approximately 111cm) cable, which is long enough for comfortable use while sitting at a desk or in a car seat without pulling. The headband structure combines durable PU leather with a steel inner frame that bends and flexes without snapping under the kind of treatment that collapses cheaper headphones within weeks.
The build is also BPA and PVC free throughout, which matters for a product that children handle constantly. There are no soft plasticisers or unsafe compounds in the materials that contact skin.
The Audio Sharing Port
One of the less obvious but genuinely useful features is the audio sharing port built into the earcup. A second pair of 3.5mm headphones can be plugged directly into this port, allowing two children to listen to the same device simultaneously without needing a splitter or a second device. This works on flights, car journeys, at home during movie time, and at school when two children are sharing a learning resource.
In-Line Controls and Microphone
The in-line control on the cable handles volume switching, track control, and the built-in microphone. A single click plays or pauses audio and answers or ends calls. A double-click skips to the next track. A triple-click goes back to the previous track. The built-in microphone sits in the same unit and picks up voice clearly enough for online classes, video calls, and language learning apps without any additional hardware needed.

Where to Use Them
Why Parents Choose These
The switchable volume limit answers the most common concern parents have about children’s headphones: the worry that a child will push the volume to unsafe levels when listening independently. Having two preset safe limits rather than one gives parents better control across different situations without having to monitor every listening session.
The BPA and PVC-free construction, the durable braided cord, and the steel-reinforced headband all contribute to a product that is genuinely built for the way children use things. The cat ear design ensures the headphones will actually be worn rather than abandoned in a drawer, which makes the safety features useful in practice rather than just in theory.
These also work well as a gift. The cat ear design appeals strongly to girls aged 3 to 12, the price sits comfortably within birthday and Christmas budgets, and the safety credentials give parents an easy reason to approve the purchase. If your child prefers a unicorn design, the kids wired unicorn headphones have identical specs with a glitter horn at the same price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age are these suitable for?
Ages 3 and above. The adjustable headband fits toddlers through to older children and teenagers. The volume limit and BPA-free build make them safe for even younger children with parental supervision.
How does the dual volume limit work?
A slider on the in-line cable control switches between 85dB (study mode) and 94dB (travel mode). Whichever level is selected, the headphones cannot exceed it regardless of how high the device volume is turned up. Parents can set it before handing over the headphones.
Can two children listen at the same time?
Yes. The sharing port on the earcup accepts a second pair of 3.5mm headphones, allowing two children to listen to the same device simultaneously without needing a separate splitter accessory.
Does it work with tablets and iPads?
Yes, with any device that has a 3.5mm audio jack, including tablets, iPads, smartphones, laptops, PCs, and kids learning devices. Older iPads and iPhones may require a 3.5mm adapter.
Are these Bluetooth or wired?
Wired only, via the included 3.5mm cable. If you want the same cat ear style with wireless Bluetooth, our kids wireless cat ear headphones add Bluetooth 5.3 and a 10-hour battery at £24.99. If you prefer a unicorn design at the same wired price, see the kids wired unicorn headphones.
Are the materials safe for children?
Yes. The headphones are BPA and PVC free throughout. The ear cushions and headband use soft PU materials that are skin-friendly for extended wear.
