Belkin just launched a new pair of headphones made specifically for kids ages 5 and up, and they're packing a lot more than the usual volume limit.

The new SoundForm Play ANC headphones are available for $39.99 at Amazon and are built for everything from watching videos at home to zoning out on a long flight or road trip. The headphones also fold up for easier travel and have both Bluetooth and wired connectivity.

The SoundForm Play ANC uses active noise cancellation (ANC) to reduce ambient noise and includes Focus Boost, which offers built-in audio clips such as ocean sounds, pink noise, and calming concentration sounds. Since these are stored right on the headphones, kids don't need WiFi, Bluetooth, or a connected phone to use them.


The adjustable volume limiter is another useful addition. It starts at 85dB, giving parents an easy way to keep everyday listening at a lower volume. The SoundForm Play gets up to 62 hours of battery life with ANC off and up to 45 hours with ANC on. There's a USB-C port and 3.5mm audio jack for wired listening, too.

Belkin has also given these headphones extra protection for the inevitable spills and drops. The SoundForm Play ANC is tested to handle water spills of up to 4 ounces and drops of up to 2 meters.

Grab a pair of the SoundForm Play ANC for your little listener for $39.99.
