Ergonomically designed with soft padded child-sized ear-cups, high-quality audio components and value priced at only $29.95, the Kidz Gear Apple Wired Headphones for Kids are the perfect travel accessory for keeping children quiet and happy during long trips away from home.

Microphone Records Audio, Answers Phone, Issues Voice Commands to SIRI

The Kidz Gear Apple Wired Headphones for Kids Inline Microphone can be used to record audio, issue a voice command to iPhone’s SIRI personal assistant and answer phone calls on the iPhone, or talk through an internet phone, such as Skype. The Remote controls volume up and down, as well as lets the user play, pause, skip a track, return to a previous track or even hear the playlist that is currently active.

‚Clearly, one of the largest growing groups of users of our Kidz Gear headphones have been children using their iPods, iPhones and iPads,‚ said Laurie Peterson, Founder, Kidz Gear. ‚By adding these Apple-specific features, children are sure to get a more enjoyable and safe listening experience from their Apple products.‚
