How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a kid-safe, wired headphone with a hard volume ceiling for young children, choose Voopwink Kids Headphones; if you need a wireless Bluetooth headphone for travel, gaming and everyday adult listening, choose ESSGUO Over-Ear.
• Voopwink Kids Headphones — biggest strength: A volume-limit switch on the cable caps output at 85dB for normal settings and 94dB for noisy places, plus soft over-ear cushions and a foldable frame built for small heads.
• Voopwink Kids Headphones — biggest trade-off: It's wired only. There's no Bluetooth, so your child stays tethered to the tablet, phone or laptop.
• ESSGUO Over-Ear — biggest strength: Bluetooth 5.0 wireless with a 10-meter range, a 3.5mm jack and TF card playback as backup, plus color-changing LED panels on both earcups.
• ESSGUO Over-Ear — biggest trade-off: It's listed for adults, not kids, and there's no volume limiter — so it isn't the safe pick for a young child's ears.
• Who each pick is for: Voopwink for parents of toddlers, kids and teens who want hearing protection on flights, in cars and at school. ESSGUO for adults who want a wireless travel and gaming headphone with a bit of visual flair.
The Voopwink set is built around one idea: protecting young ears without making the listening experience miserable. The volume limit switch sits right on the audio cable, so you flip it to 85dB for everyday use at home or in the classroom, and to 94dB when you're somewhere genuinely loud — a busy airport gate, a car with the windows down, a crowded park. That second setting matters more than people expect. A lot of kid headphones are so quiet that children crank the source volume to compensate, which defeats the purpose. Having two real settings gives you somewhere to go when the world gets noisy.
Comfort and durability look thought through too. The over-ear cushions are soft, breathable and sized to fully cover little ears, and the headband slides to fit everything from toddlers up to adults — handy when a parent wants to borrow them for a minute. The stretch section is stainless steel rather than plastic, which is the part that usually snaps first on kids' gear. The frame folds down for a school bag or carry-on, and the cable is nylon-wrapped with a 120° angled plug, both of which reduce the two most common failure points on wired headphones. Sound comes from 40mm dynamic drivers covering 20Hz–20,000Hz at 32 ohm, and there's a multifunction button on the cable for calls and track skipping.
Buy it if you have a child who uses a tablet, Chromebook, iPad or phone with a standard 3.5mm jack and you want a volume ceiling you control. Skip it if your kid insists on wireless, or if you need one headphone to serve as your own travel set as well. In my opinion this is a kid-first product, and it should be judged that way.
The ESSGUO is a completely different animal. It's a wireless Bluetooth 5.0 headphone aimed at adults, and its headline feature is freedom from cables. Bluetooth 5.0 brings low-latency, synchronized audio and better resistance to interference than older 4.2 gear, which matters most when you're watching video — lip-sync drift is the thing that ruins a movie on a plane. The 10-meter wireless range means you can leave your phone on the seat or across the room and keep listening.
It's flexible about sources, which is unusual at this end of the market. You get Bluetooth for normal use, a 3.5mm jack for wired listening when the battery isn't an option, and TF card playback if you want to load music directly onto a card and leave the phone behind entirely. That's three ways to listen from one headphone, and it's genuinely useful on a long trip where charging opportunities are scarce.
The look is deliberately loud. Colorful LED panels sit on both earcups and pulse with the rhythm of the music — fun for gaming sessions, a conversation starter on a flight, and probably not what you want in a quiet office. Comfort comes from skin-friendly memory-protein earcups and a padded headband, with a foldable, lightweight ABS frame for packing. Drivers are 40mm dynamic, 20Hz–20,000Hz at 32 ohm, with sound isolation and voice-based controls. One caution: the spec sheet lists the age range as adult, and there's no volume limiter, so I wouldn't hand these to a small child.
Buy it if you want one wireless headphone for travel, gaming, commuting and home use, and you like the LED styling. Skip it if you're shopping for a young kid, or you specifically need a hard hearing-safety cap.

My Verdict
No. They're a wired over-ear headphone with a standard 3.5mm jack, so they work with tablets, laptops, iPads, Chromebooks, phones and anything else with a headphone port. There's no Bluetooth.
The data sheet doesn't list a volume limiter, and the age range is listed as adult. If hearing protection for a child is your priority, the Voopwink's 85dB/94dB switch is the feature you actually want.
Yes. Besides Bluetooth 5.0, it supports a 3.5mm AUX cable and TF card playback (card not included). That makes it usable even when the battery is empty or you're on a flight with no wireless allowed.
It depends on what you're solving for. For a child, the Voopwink's safety switch and kid-focused build make it the more sensible spend. For an adult who wants wireless, LED styling and multiple playback modes, the ESSGUO covers more ground. Check the current price on Amazon for both before you decide.
