For those about to rock, we must mute you—just a little. Parents may be able to control what music their kids listen to, but volume is another issue. LoudEnough earbuds may not go to “11,” but they can help avoid serious hearing loss. This volume-limiting device encourages kids to be more careful when listening to music, by automatically reducing sound pressure levels (SPLs) by up to 20dB, which is about one quarter of the volume playing. Of course, don’t worry about your little audiophile-in-training; Ultimate Ears says that the sound quality doesn’t suffer. Available in plum, blueberry and mint, each pair also includes six sets of changeable soft silicone ear tips.
