How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a plain, dependable wired headphone for school laptops, Chromebooks and shared family devices, choose ARTIX CL750; if you need a kid-first over-ear pair with a cat-ear light-up design and SafeSound volume limiting, choose iClever HS20.
• ARTIX CL750 — biggest strength: a simple 3.5 mm wired setup with an inline remote and mic, 40 mm dynamic drivers, and a bundled turquoise faux-leather carry case.
• ARTIX CL750 — biggest trade-off: on-ear plastic cups and sound isolation only — no active noise cancelling, no Bluetooth, no volume-limiting safety feature.
• iClever HS20 — biggest strength: over-ear fit with a cat-ear extension, LED light-up styling, SafeSound tech and a foldable FunShare-friendly build aimed at younger kids.
• iClever HS20 — biggest trade-off: the styling and kid-focused feature set are the whole point, so it's a harder sell for an adult who just wants a neutral-looking headset.
• Pick the ARTIX CL750 if you want one wired headset that works across laptops, tablets, Chromebooks and iPads for teens and adults as much as kids.
• Pick the iClever HS20 if the listener is a young child and you want over-ear comfort, a fun look they'll actually wear, and a wired connection that never needs charging.
The CL750 is the "just works" option. It's a wired on-ear headphone with a 3.5 mm jack, a 32 ohm impedance rating and a 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz frequency range driven by 40 mm dynamic drivers. That combination matters more than it sounds: 32 ohms is easy for a phone, tablet or laptop to drive without a separate amp, and the 40 mm driver size is the same ballpark as full-size headphones rather than tiny earbud drivers. In practice that means you plug it in and get sound — no pairing, no charging, no app.
The feature list is deliberately boring in a good way. There's an inline remote with a microphone and volume control, so it doubles as a headset for video calls, online classes and voice chat. The enclosure is plastic, the ear placement is on-ear, and the noise control is sound isolation — meaning it physically blocks some outside noise rather than cancelling it electronically. It ships with a turquoise and grey carry case in faux leather, which is genuinely useful if this is going in a backpack every day. ARTIX backs it with a one-year warranty and lists it for an age range that includes kids, with a video-game theme in the styling.
Who should buy it: teens and adults who want one corded headset for a laptop, Chromebook, iPad or tablet, plus parents who want a wired option that won't get lost to a dead battery. The inline mic makes it a sensible pick for remote learning and casual calls.
Who should skip it: anyone who wants wireless freedom, active noise cancellation, or a true over-ear cup that fully surrounds the ear. If you need a headset for noisy commuting or flights, the isolation-only design won't be enough. And if the listener is a toddler or very young child, the on-ear fit and adult-leaning look won't land the way a kid-specific design does.
The HS20 is built around one idea: make headphones a young kid actually wants to put on. It's an over-ear wired headphone in purple with a cat-ear extension on top and LED lights, which is the kind of detail that turns a "put your headphones on" argument into a non-issue. Over-ear cups surround the ear rather than pressing on it, which generally suits small heads better for longer sessions than on-ear designs.
Under the styling it's still a straightforward 3.5 mm wired headphone — 32 ohm impedance, dynamic drivers, 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz. The difference is the safety layer: iClever lists SafeSound tech, which is the volume-limiting approach parents look for when a child is using a tablet or iPad unsupervised. Controls are handled through touch control with wired connectivity plus a volume control, and the build is foldable with a FunShare setup, so two pairs can share one device — handy for siblings on a road trip or a shared tablet.
The materials are plastic with a plastic-and-vegan-leather case, it's sold as a single item in a rigid or cushioned box, and iClever covers it with a 12-month warranty. The age range is explicitly kid, and the "cute" contemporary theme is the point, not an afterthought.
Who should buy it: parents of younger children who need a wired headphone for school, travel, iPad time or a gift, and who care about volume limiting and a design the child will actually wear. The foldable build and FunShare feature make it a good fit for families with more than one kid.
Who should skip it: adults, older teens, or anyone who wants a discreet, neutral-looking headset for work calls. The cat ears and lights are a feature for a child and a distraction for a professional. If you also want a microphone for calls, note that the HS20's control story is volume and touch control — this is a listening-first kids' product.
• Best for a mixed-age household (teens + adults + kids) → ARTIX CL750. The inline mic, remote volume control and neutral on-ear look make it the more versatile pick.
• Best for young children → iClever HS20. Over-ear cups, cat-ear styling and SafeSound volume limiting are designed specifically for small listeners.
• Best for calls, classes and voice chat → ARTIX CL750. The inline remote with microphone is the deciding feature here.
• Best for long listening sessions on a small head → iClever HS20. Over-ear placement surrounds the ear instead of pressing on it.
• Best for travel and packing → ARTIX CL750 if you want a carry case included; iClever HS20 if a foldable frame matters more than a case.
• Best for siblings sharing one tablet → iClever HS20. The FunShare feature is built for exactly that scenario.
• Best for "no charging, ever" simplicity → both. Both are wired 3.5 mm headphones with 32 ohm impedance, so neither needs a battery.
• Best for a gift a kid will be excited to open → iClever HS20. The purple finish, cat ears and LED lights do the work.
In my opinion, the ARTIX CL750 is the safer buy for most people reading this, because it covers the widest range of real situations: a laptop, a Chromebook, a tablet, a call with a mic, and a kid or teen who just needs something that plugs in and works. I'd pick the iClever HS20 instead if the listener is a young child and the priority is comfort, volume limiting and a design that makes them want to wear it. If you're buying for one specific young kid, go HS20. If you're buying one headset to cover the whole household, go CL750. Check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since the value math changes depending on what each is going for when you buy.
Both work, because both use a standard 3.5 mm jack. The CL750 edges ahead for school use because it includes an inline microphone and remote volume control, which helps with online classes and video calls.
Yes — iClever lists SafeSound tech on the HS20, which is the volume-limiting feature parents typically look for when a child uses a tablet or iPad. The ARTIX CL750 does not list an equivalent volume-limiting feature; its noise control is sound isolation only.
The iClever HS20. It's over-ear, foldable, styled with cat ears and LED lights, and explicitly aimed at kids, with a 12-month warranty. The CL750 is on-ear and designed to span kids, teens and adults, so it's a less natural fit for very young children.
No. Both are wired 3.5 mm headphones with 32 ohm impedance, so neither relies on a battery or a wireless connection. That's a real advantage if you don't want to manage charging before every use.
