Imagine your child on a long flight, turning up their favorite song to drown out the noise. They’re smiling, lost in the music — but what you don’t see is the hidden danger: the volume could be damaging their hearing for life.

That’s where BuddyPhones®, ONANOFF®’s best-selling volume-limiting headphones, come in. They let kids enjoy every beat, every story, and every adventure — safely, without risking their future hearing health.

👂 The Risks of Loud Audio for Kids

• Children’s ears are more vulnerable: Their auditory system is still developing, making them more prone to damage.

• Global concern: The World Health Organization warns that over 1 billion young people worldwide are at risk of hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.

• Unsafe decibel levels: Sounds above 85 dB can cause hearing loss over time.

• Hidden danger: Kids often don’t realize when audio is too loud, and parents can’t monitor every moment

🎧 What Are Volume-Limiting Headphones?

Volume-limiting headphones are designed with a built-in safety cap that automatically restricts sound output to safe levels (usually 85 dB). Unlike regular headphones, they:

• Prevent accidental exposure to harmful volumes.

• Fit comfortably on smaller heads.

• Give parents peace of mind without the need for constant monitoring.

What is 🔑 SafeAudio™?

SafeAudio™ is ONANOFF® ’s proprietary technology built into BuddyPhones. It ensures children listen at safe, regulated volume levels by automatically capping sound output.

• Automatic protection: Even if a child turns the device volume all the way up, SafeAudio™ enforces the safe limit.

• Adjustable modes: Parents can select 75/85/94 dB depending on age and environment.

• Healthy habits: Kids learn what safe sound feels like, reducing the risk of unsafe listening later in life.

📏 Understanding SafeAudio™ Levels

BuddyPhones are designed with three SafeAudio™ modes — 75, 85, and 94 dB — to adapt to different environments.

• 75 dB is perfect for toddlers and quiet spaces.

• 85 dB is the recommended safe level for everyday listening.

• 94 dB is available for noisy environments like airplanes or busy streets, where a slightly higher volume helps kids hear clearly.

👉 Even at 94 dB, BuddyPhones limit exposure compared to regular headphones that can exceed 100+ dB. Parents should guide children to use 94 dB only when necessary, and return to 85 dB or 75 dB in quieter settings.
