Review on ๐ŸŽง SIMOLIO 4 Pack - Adjustable Volume-Limited Car Kids Headphones with Wireless DVD, 2 Channel IR, Infrared Wireless Headsets for Vehicle Entertainment by Tony Miller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Matches Chrysler T&C exactly

I bought them mainly for the volume limiter; Sometimes I heard the noise from the old children's headphones in the front seat. They're great for that. And they work fine. no problems with reception from the seats. But I like my old ones better. First, they have a wire loop on their head. If children step on it or sit on it, the wire loop will bend. Now try to fix your headphones while driving and listen to your kid whine about not being able to hear a movie. Very distracting. Second, they don't stack up like factories or some aftermarkets do. This means they don't fit well in the seatback mesh pocket, making them more likely to be stepped on or sat on. However, the ear cups fold inward to make them more compact. My younger children have a hard time rolling them out the way they should be. Eventually, the plastic cover came loose on one side as it rolled out of the car and broke. Lids are not thoughtfully designed to replace batteries. You have to press the cover at the same time and it just pops out. The broken cover was on the DB switch side. At least it's just a cosmetic issue. The batteries hold up so the power management and auto shut off seem to work. Kids complain that they aren't loud enough, which to me is a feature, not a bug. I've tested them and even at the 94dB cutoff, they're not as loud as the headphones they replace. I don't think they will stand the test of time given the discomfort I've had for just a month. I probably won't buy them again, although I really like the volume limiters.
