Absolutely incredible!!

These fleece headband headphones are amazing! Perfect for delicate little ears and we love the fact that there is a volume limit so it doesn’t go too loud, they are very stylish and so snuggly and will be perfect for long journeys, on the plane or even home. We absolutely love our bandou headphones and are strongly considering buying another pair 🥰

Absolutely in love!

Absolutely in love!!
My boy will only sleep to white noise and when your out and about it gets drowned out and other people don't want to hear it. The bandou has solved that! Sleeps amazing and can now watch Ms Rachel without anyone else having to too! Definitely recommend

Must have for kids!

We have been unable to get Alice used to hard headphones, as she usually complains they pressure her ears, to come across the sweatband effect headphones is a game changer, they work easy and are so comfy!

Fantastic product, highly recommend!

Fantastic product. Just had our first meal at a restaurant with a very active 19 month old and these were our saviour. Helps block our surrounding noise and give him some time listening to his favourite wiggles songs. Easy to use and my son wears them with no fuss at all. We are going on a plane eary 2025 and these will make the journey so much better! Highly recommend.

I purchased two headphones but was a little disappointed that only one had the Velcro close where the wires go. I had contacted them to find out why and was informed that the Velcro was the new design and was only on one type. I would have thought they should already have this feature as it is for kids.

Great comfy headphones!

Bought these for my kids aged 7 and 2. They loved them! Comfy to wear, simple to use and connect to our devices, double up as an eye mask too. So much easier than clunky headphone and tangled wires on the plane! The only regret is that they don’t make them for adults too!

Super cute designs and high quality product that does exactly what it says it does. Very comfortable for my toddler to use not just on plane rides but day to day. Excellent customer service as well! Very happy with purchase 😃

Sparkle one is great

We ordered the sparkle unicorn one for our 4yo for our upcoming trip. The item arrived really quickly and was easy to set up.
I don't have any issue with the sound quality but it hasn't gone onto the plane yet.

Great for car journeys

I bought the bandou for my grandson in readiness for his trip on a plane. However his holiday isn’t for a few months yet, but he used them in a long journey in the car the other day and he loved them. He also fell asleep in his car sea and this was not a problem like his other headphones which normally get in the way.
Great purchase and I’d definitely recommend.

Great idea, just not great execution...

The concept behind these kids sized headphones is really clever as they act as a novelty headband with speakers built in instead of standard headphones. My little one loved the her kitten themed ones and she was more content in keeping these on to watch peppa pig. (Joy!)
The issue I had is that to protect the little ones ears they are set at a certain volume which cant be changed. This works in quiter environments like at home but is no good on a plane with so much background noise. You simply can't hear anything. As far as I can tell they are not noise cancelling either.
Dont get me wrong this function is an improtant and good idea to protect their ears but it needs flexibility for different environments.
Also the charging wires were too accessible for little hands, the velcro pouch in which they sit wasn't secure enough for my liking.
So in summary, great concept in making headphones accessible to kids and a good little novelty item....but the set volume means they can't be used on planes and the wires are too accessible for toddlers.

Pippa’s first flight

From order to delivery everything was perfect with great communication. The real test was our 2 flights yesterday with our 18 month granddaughter. The Bandou was brilliant. Everyone remarked how good and quiet she had been.

Comfy and fun headphones for kiddos

They arrived quickly, and my toddler couldn’t wait to put them on. I was worried at first since he has some sensory sensitivities at times, but he loved wearing these while watching his shows and listening to music.
