These parent-controlled headphones are a colorful music listening device that allow parents to monitor the volume level at which their children's favorite songs are playing. Giving parents the confidence that their children aren't bursting their eardrums, while allowing kids to enjoy their own music -- these headphones are popular with both parties.

The headphones' ergonomic design means that both speakers fit comfortably on the head, balancing pressure without causing any aches. The durable frame is sturdy and will withstand rough and tumble play that naturally ensues from children's everyday lives. Meanwhile, the built-in device that makes these parent-controlled headphones is referred to uniquely as the "potentiometer."

Finally, the headphone's flat, [tangle-free cords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cmf-headphone-pro) can be neatly coiled up and kept tidy with the ZoundLasso, making storage and repeated use even easier.
