Parenting can be especially difficult at this time of year. One wrong move, and your family’s holiday is shattered by the absence of this year’s impossible-to-get Furby.

In contrast, the MindKoo Cat Ear Wireless Headphones are the perfect gift to please everyone. Designed for kids, these quality headphones feature fun feline ears that your pre-teens will adore. They allow your little ones to roam around and listen to their favorite tunes (or an educational podcast) via Bluetooth. They can even watch videos on the move or while traveling cross-country for the holidays.

A gift that actually makes parenting more peaceful — too good to be true?

MindKoo cat headphones: Kid-friendly design

As hard as you may try, kids are never very interested in tech specs. They’re much more interested in whether something: a) impresses other kids on the playground or (b) looks like a kitten.

The MindKoo headset hits both sweet spots. Kids love pretending to be animals, so the cat-ear design will be popular. As an added bonus, the earpieces glow in low light. With four different lighting modes to choose from, your child can easily switch between them via the built-in controls. Aside from looks, the ear cushions are designed to be forgiving on little ears. And the whole headset folds up neatly for storage.

Bluetooth headphones for kids

Despite their playful appearance, these headphones definitely do not come from the toy store. They utilize Bluetooth 4.2, and the sound quality boasts crisp highs and natural midrange tones.

The other major advantage of Bluetooth 4.2 is battery life. The MindKoo headphones offer five hours of playback with the headset’s lights on, or eight hours with them off. The headphones connect easily to any compatible Bluetooth device, from iPads to games consoles.

A great gift
