These may be baked, but I've looked for them and found none... I would like headphones that have a limiter so they won't emit sound above a certain db limit. Then I can let my kid use them and not worry about the music being so loud that it damages their hearing.

Plug it in, and plug in your headphones. [goldbb, Jan 05 2009]

Nice, but you'll have to have a way to keep the user from defeating the limit. |
|
| |
iPods will let you limit volume in the device itself and that's a start. |

Sony Walkman also has a db limiter in the device, and that was a major selling point for me. But that's easy to turn off - it's in the options menu. And many MP3 players don't have that feature. |

I want a pair of earbuds I can give to my kid that are *incapable* of producing ear-splitting loudness, so she can listen to music from any device and I don't have to worry about hearing loss. |

Buy a European model MP3 player - volume reduction is a legal requirement in France.

They exist and i own some. I find them deeply annoying and i feel like throwing them under heavy traffic whenever i use them. |
|
| |
Be sure to take them off before you do that. |
|

Ha! I share them with my daughter, so i'll give her them first. Yes i know, manky manky nastiness lurks in the external auditory meatus. |

I've added links to two recently arrived products in this space that a reader who was searching for the same thing sent in via email. Congratulations for recognizing the need early! (Since the colors are the same, and the function is pretty much the same, I wonder if this is the same product via two different resellers--anyone know?) |

I dunno. The main problem is when you have one generation
with dud hearing, and another generation with well-
preserved hearing. One will always be saying "What??" and
the other will always be mumbling. As long as everyone is
equally deaf, it's all good. |
