How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a safe, wired, parent-locked pair of kids headphones for school and travel, choose IMYB V1; if you need a wireless sleep-and-sport headband set for side sleepers and workouts, choose Perytong 2.
• IMYB V1 — biggest strength: a factory-locked 85dB volume ceiling with no adjustable buttons, backed by 40mm dynamic drivers and a hypoallergenic, BPA-free build that weighs just 0.35lb.
• IMYB V1 — biggest trade-off: it is wired only (3.5mm jack), so it needs a device with a headphone port and gives you no wireless freedom.
• Perytong 2 — biggest strength: a 3-in-1 headband that works as sleep headphones, sport headband and sleep mask, with Bluetooth 5.4, up to 14 hours of playtime and washable, sweat-resistant fabric.
• Perytong 2 — biggest trade-off: it is a wireless-only adult product with no 3.5mm jack, so it depends on charging and Bluetooth pairing.
• Who IMYB V1 is for: parents buying for a child aged roughly 2–12 who want volume capped by design and zero setup.
• Who Perytong 2 is for: adults who want one soft headband for falling asleep, side-sleeping, running and yoga — and who like getting two in the box.
The IMYB V1 is built around one idea: take the volume decision away from the child. The limit is locked at the factory at 85dB and there are no buttons to raise it, which is exactly the kind of design a parent wants when a five-year-old is watching a tablet on a plane or a nine-year-old is doing online classes at the kitchen table. The 40mm dynamic drivers are sized to deliver clear, distortion-free audio for speech-heavy content — audiobooks, lessons, video calls — rather than to rattle anyone's skull.
Comfort is where this pair earns its place in a school bag. The earpads are memory foam wrapped in protein leather, the materials are described as hypoallergenic and BPA-free, and the whole thing weighs 0.17kg (0.35lb). That is light enough that the headband doesn't need to clamp hard to stay put. The adjustable headband and swivel earcups are rated for ages 2–12, so the fit grows with a child instead of being replaced every year.
Perytong 2: Who It's For
Perytong 2 solves a different problem entirely. It's a fabric headband with flat 40mm speakers tucked inside, and the speakers pop out so you can machine wash the band. That single design choice is what makes it work for nightly use: sweat, skin oils and allergens don't accumulate in something you can't clean.
The 3-in-1 framing is the real pitch. Worn normally, it's a pair of sleep headphones that stay put when you roll onto your side — no earbud digging into your ear canal. Pulled up, it's a workout headband for running or yoga. Slid down over the eyes, it doubles as a blackout mask. Bluetooth 5.4 handles the connection, range is listed at 43 feet, and the controls are touch-based on the band itself.
Battery is the other headline: up to 14 hours per charge, with a 1-hour charge time via Type-C. If you sleep with audio on all night, that covers a full night plus a workout the next morning. You get two headbands in the box, so one can live at home and one in a gym bag — or one can simply be charging while the other is in use. The spandex-and-nylon blend is breathable and moisture-wicking, and the fit is described for adults.
Skip it if you need something for a young child — this is an adult product with no volume limiter — or if your device has no Bluetooth. There's no 3.5mm jack at all, so a wired-only source is a dealbreaker. And because the speakers sit flat against the ear rather than over it, this is not a product for critical listening; it's for ASMR, podcasts, sleep sounds and background music while you move.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for young children (roughly ages 2–12) → IMYB V1. The 85dB factory lock is the whole point, and there are no buttons to defeat it.
• Best for side sleepers and overnight listening → Perytong 2. A soft headband doesn't press into your ear the way an earbud does.
• Best for workouts and sweaty use → Perytong 2. Moisture-wicking fabric plus removable, washable speakers.
• Best for battery life → Perytong 2. Up to 14 hours of continuous use with fast Type-C charging.
• Best for two people or two routines → Perytong 2. You get two headbands; IMYB V1 ships as a single pair.
• Best for a child who loses or forgets to charge things → IMYB V1. It works the moment it's plugged in.
• Best for travel where you want one item doing several jobs → Perytong 2. Headphones, headband and eye mask in one.
• Best for sharing audio with a sibling or friend → neither. Both are personal listening products, not splitter-friendly shared sets.
If I were buying for a child, I'd take the IMYB V1 without much hesitation. The locked 85dB ceiling, the light 0.35lb build and the cable that can't be unpaired or run flat make it the lower-stress choice for a parent — that's the design talking, not a spec sheet victory lap. If I were buying for myself as an adult who listens in bed, runs, or travels with one bag, I'd take the Perytong 2: two washable headbands, Bluetooth 5.4 and up to 14 hours of playtime cover more of my day. In my opinion these two barely compete — they're aimed at different people. Pick by who's wearing them, not by which sounds fancier.
IMYB V1. It's designed for ages 2–12 with a factory-locked 85dB limit and no volume buttons, plus a 0.35lb weight built for small heads. Perytong 2 is an adult product with no limiter and wireless-only operation.
Does Perytong 2 have a wired option?
Up to 14 hours of continuous use per charge, with roughly a 1-hour charge time over Type-C. That's enough for a full night of sleep audio plus daytime use, and you get two headbands so one can charge while the other is worn.
Both are sold on Amazon and prices change, so check the current price on Amazon before deciding. On features alone, Perytong 2 gives you two headbands plus three functions, while IMYB V1 gives you one purpose-built kids pair with a safety limit — value depends on which of those you actually need.
