Griffin knows that if a child’s ears go bad today, that child won’t be listening to their headphones as an adult. So they’ve decided to protect their potential future buyers by announcing MyPhones, a set of over-the-ear headphones for kids.

MyPhones are designed for children age 3 to 12 and are smaller than normal headphones. They also include a built-in volume limiter that prevents the headphones from producing audio higher than 85 decibels, which is the recommended maximum volume to avoid hearing damage.

They also include heavy-duty cables for durability and a customizable design that allows kids to choose the cover for each earpiece. Kids can create their own or download designs created by others. The $40 MyPhones will be available in October.

Griffin are getting them while they are young and protecting those little ears like the cash crop they are.
