A number of people suffer from hearing damage and Puro Sound Labs has come up with the Puro BT2200 Plus to address this issue. These headphones have limited the volume to 85dB as per the guidelines of the World Health Organization to ensure that loud audio does not damage the ears. There are some unexpected features included in these headphones and have been designed for kids.
Design
The core of the design of the Puro BT2200 Plus headphones is comfort. It has circular and big ear pads, designed for kids with smaller ears. In terms of both look and feel, the headphones are well-made. The headband may be bendy, but there are no groans and creaks. The brushed material of the ear-cups and the silver accents give them a nice appearance. The (vegan protein) ear pads can be replaced in the case of damage and an on-ear pair of ear pads has also been included by Puro.
The right ear-cup has physical buttons, with the Bluetooth button also used for playback. There is a volume up and down button and a slider for power. The buttons are responsive and nice. Even though the build is of plastic, it gives a high quality feel, while keeping the headphones comfortable and light. Both the ear pads and headband have a soft padding, which makes the clamping good rather than uncomfortable. The headphones are available in a number of colors and are classier and stylish than you would ever expect kids’ headphones to be. A carry case is also provided to keep them safe.
Features
Since the headphones are volume limited, their sound will not get louder than 85dB. This is in accordance with the guidelines of the WHO to safeguard the hearing health, for both kids and adults. The headphones support Bluetooth 5.1, along with aptX HD, which is quite a surprise. They are said to have a life of 20 hours and there is no mention of fast charging. A ‘daisy chain cable’ is also included with the headphones for hooking two headphones together.
Sound Quality
The Puro BT2200 Plus will take you by surprise when it comes to sound quality because it turns out to be far better than expectations. According to Puro, the headphones deliver ‘studio-grade audio quality’ and this actually seems to be true. Nonetheless, given that the volume is limited to 85dB, it is bound to have an effect. There is not a lot of dynamism, but that does not really matter, given that they are designed for kids rather than adults.
The audio clarity is also decent. While they cannot conjure a lot of detail, the Puro headphones are plenty engaging. Vocal clarity is also good, with the highs clear and bright.
The Verdict
The Puro BT2200 Plus offer a good sound and are comfortable to wear. They are likely to keep your kids entertained for a couple of hours. If you are looking for headphones that can deliver a good performance for kids, these are a smart option.
