Setting up the kids headphones
These steps follow the notes in the Botesty Sound listings for the kids Bluetooth and corded models.
Charge with the cable in the box
For the Bluetooth model, use the supplied USB-C cable; the brand notes that other cables may not charge it. Ten minutes gives about 9.5 hours of listening.
Pick the volume limit
Set the switch to 85 dB for homework and quiet rooms, or 94 dB for a plane, car or bus where background noise is louder.
Pair over Bluetooth
Turn the headphones on, open Bluetooth on the tablet, Chromebook or phone and choose the headphones from the list. The connection reaches up to about 10 m.
Save battery with the lights off
The LED lights can be switched off in Bluetooth mode. Lights off gives up to 85 hours per charge, lights on about 20 hours.
Plug in when the battery is flat
Connect the 3.5 mm AUX cable and the headphones keep playing without battery. For the corded models, check that the device has the right port: 3.5 mm or USB-C.
Store them properly
Fold the headphones for the backpack. If the Bluetooth pair is not used for a while, charge it at least once every three months to keep the battery healthy.
What buyers say
A summary of Amazon’s “Customers say” overview for each line on amazon.com. Individual reviews are not reproduced.
Wired 3.5 mm
Buyers like the sound, with clear highs and mids, the soft cushioned ear pads and the price, and many say kids like wearing them. Opinions on how well they block outside noise are mixed, and some buyers report the headphones broke after a few weeks.
Kids 3.5 mm
Parents say they suit kids well, especially for computer work at school, and like the price, the easy use and the volume limiter. They fit children from roughly 2 to 6. Reliability is mixed: some pairs last a long time in class, others lose sound on one side or the cord fails early.
Kids USB-C
Buyers describe the USB-C model as good quality, comfortable and loud enough for music. Reliability is mixed, with a few reporting it stopped working after about a month.
Kids Bluetooth
Buyers call them a good fit for younger kids and tablet use. They mention a sturdy build that survives rough handling, a battery that lasts for days, a stable Bluetooth connection, good sound and good value.
Questions and answers
Which Botesty Sound headphones are for kids?
Three lines are made for children: the corded kids headphones with a 3.5 mm plug, the USB-C kids headphones and the Bluetooth kids headphones with LED lights. All three have an 85/94 dB volume limit. The 3.5 mm wired headphones with microphone are full size and fit kids, teens and adults, but have no volume limit.
What does the 85 / 94 dB switch do?
85 dB is the quieter cap for study and quiet rooms. 94 dB allows a bit more volume where background noise is louder, for example on a plane or in a car. In both positions the headphones will not go above the set level.
Will they work with a school Chromebook?
The 3.5 mm models plug into the headphone jack that most Chromebooks have. The USB-C model is for devices with a USB-C port. The Bluetooth model pairs wirelessly with Chromebooks, tablets and laptops.
Does the microphone work on a desktop PC?
The brand notes that the microphone and call button of the 3.5 mm wired headphones are for phones and tablets. On desktops and some laptops with separate audio and mic sockets, the mic may not work without a splitter.
Which one should I buy for an iPad?
Check the port. iPads with USB-C need the USB-C headphones or the Bluetooth model. Older iPads with a headphone jack work with the 3.5 mm models. The 3.5 mm plug does not fit USB or Lightning ports.
How long does the Bluetooth battery last?
Up to 85 hours per charge with the LED lights off and about 20 hours with them on. A 10-minute charge gives about 9.5 hours. With the AUX cable plugged in they also work with a flat battery.
Can I turn the lights off?
Yes. The LED lights can be switched off or changed in Bluetooth mode. Some colours are sold without LED lights, and those are marked on their cards.
What age are they for?
The brand lists the corded kids headphones for ages 3 and up and the USB-C model for ages 3 to 16. The Bluetooth model is described for toddlers and kids. The full-size wired model fits older kids, teens and adults.
Why do several colours show the same rating?
On Amazon, all colours of one model share one listing family, so they show the same star rating and review count. The rating describes the model as a whole, not one colour.
Do they fold?
Yes. All lines have ear cups that swivel 90° and a headband that folds, so they fit into a backpack or carry-on bag.
