Antimicrobial Kids Headphones

Happy Plugs Play Helps to Protect Kids from Hearing Loss

— July 30, 2021 — Life-Stages
Happy Plugs Play provides a premium audio experience for kids with a design that's vegan-friendly and antimicrobial. The youth headphones, geared towards kids between the ages of three and 15, were designed to protect kids from hearing loss, and still allow them to enjoy their favorite tunes in a safe way.

With these headphones, Happy Plugs is on a mission to reinvent headphones for younger audiences. As Andreas Vural, founder of Happy Plugs, says "The headphone industry has focused on meeting adult preferences and the younger user has often fallen short of the same high-quality experience."

To reduce the growth of microbes, Play makes the most of Biomaster antimicrobial technology, which is effective for eliminating up to 99.99% of microbes that are responsible for causing degradation, discoloration, staining and odors.
Trend Themes
1. Antimicrobial Kids Headphones - Companies can leverage biomaster antimicrobial technology to create germ-resistant headphones for kids, reducing the spread of bacteria.
2. Youth-focused Product Design - There is an opportunity for companies to pay more attention to designing high-quality products that cater specifically towards younger audiences.
3. Child Hearing Loss Prevention - Organizations can create products that specifically focus on preventing hearing loss in children, which is a growing concern among parents and healthcare professionals alike.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can leverage the use of biomaster antimicrobial technology in producing products that are not only resistant to bacteria but are also designed with kids in mind.
2. Children's Products/retail - Companies in the children's products/retail industry can develop new lines of products that not only appeal to younger audiences but also promote safe and healthy living habits.
3. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can leverage the growing concern over child hearing loss to create preventative solutions such as specialized headphones or educational resources for parents.
