The full review
Yoto's own headphones are designed for young ears (three and up) and work with any Bluetooth device, not just Yoto players. The Independent named them its most durable kids' headphones, praising the squidgy ear cushions, the adjustable headband and the premium feel.
Yoto quotes 20 hours of playback, a 2.5-hour charge and a 250g weight. A braided cable is included for wired listening, and it can daisy-chain a second set so two children can listen to one player.
The volume limit is the fuzzy bit. MadeForMums lists it as 85dB (plus or minus 3dB), but Yoto's own page doesn't quote a figure, and for wired use it tells you to set the Yoto app's built-in volume limiter. If you pair them with a Yoto, that's easy to do.
