ONANOFF BuddyPhones EcoBuddy Headphones
Hong Kong-based audio company ONANOFF is known for its design and user-centred approach to audio products for younger travellers.
Their flagship brand, BuddyPhones, is a global leader in children’s headphones. It features SafeAudio® technology that limits volume and includes noise-cancelling features to protect young listeners’ hearing.
ONANOFF has previously earned multiple awards, including five CES Innovation Awards, the 2021 and 2023 EU Product Safety Awards for protecting vulnerable consumer groups, and recognition in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2022. This year, ONANOFF launched the EcoBuddy Headphones.
Features ONANOFF EcoBuddy Headphones
The EcoBuddy Headphones, part of the BuddyPhones lineup, promise a safe, fun, and eco-conscious listening experience while protecting kids’ hearing and the planet.
They boast patented SafeAudio technology, combining recycled materials, advanced audio features, and kid-friendly personalisation.
Crafted with 30% recycled materials, primarily ocean-sourced polypropylene and ABS plastics, ONANOFF addresses a growing issue: marine pollution. Using reclaimed plastics, ONANOFF reduces dependence on virgin plastic production, which consumes energy and resources.
ONANOFF recognises that children’s hearing is sensitive, and traditional headphones often exceed safe listening levels. The ONANOFF BuddyPhones EcoBuddy Headphones solve this with patented SafeAudio volume control, offering two listening settings: Safe and Normal.
When Safe Mode is selected, the volume is capped at 85dB to prevent hearing damage, while Normal Mode provides a balanced sound for older kids who need clearer audio.
Comfort and durability are key for any product aimed at kids, and the EcoBuddy Headphones have been designed with young listeners in mind. The older kids can also increase the volume to 94dB.
They boast a foldable headband for easy portability and oversized, clip-on ear cushions with hypoallergenic padding for a more comfortable fit.
The EcoBuddy headphones can be used wired or wireless, offering up to 20 hours of battery life. There’s even a built-in microphone for calls or online learning.
Younger users can make the EcoBuddy Headphones uniquely theirs with vibrant, ocean-inspired foil stickers. Options include playful cartoon designs like mermaids, dolphins, octopuses, and sharks or realistic sea-life imagery for older kids.
