Do these limit the volume to safe levels? i.e. are they designed with volume-limiting circuitry to protect hearing?

The headphones have a rolling button that allow you to adjust the volume up and down to what you feel is comfortable for your child or they can do it themselves . I haven't had any issues with my children messing with the volume once I get it adjusted, but it is right on the cord and close to their little hands. If they wanted to they could change the volume on their own. You cannot "lock" the volume in place.

i wouldn't say that it would 'limit' to safe levels, but you can control the maximum volume your child would be listening to. if your child is like mine before the age of 1 (she was able to adjust an iPad/iphone to max volume with a swipe of her finger!), you would be able to pre-set the volume on the headphones by the turn-wheel on the wire of the headphone, a skill that would definitely be more difficult for a toddler. she would only be able to turn the volume lower if she adjusted the volume on the device herself. so i would set the device on max volume, listen thru the headphones myself to ensure it's not loud enough and adjust the volume on the headphones as i'd like, then let her listen to it. i wouldn't say that it would 'limit' to safe levels, but you can control the maximum volume your child would be listening to. if your child is like mine before the age of 1 (she was able to adjust an iPad/iphone to max volume with a swipe of her finger!), you would be able to pre-set the volume on the headphones by the turn-wheel on the wire of the headphone, a skill that would definitely be more difficult for a toddler. she would only be able to turn the volume lower if she adjusted the volume on the device herself. so i would set the device on max volume, listen thru the headphones myself... » Read More i wouldn't say that it would 'limit' to safe levels, but you can control the maximum volume your child would be listening to. if your child is like mine before the age of 1 (she was able to adjust an iPad/iphone to max volume with a swipe of her finger!), you would be able to pre-set the volume on the headphones by the turn-wheel on the wire of the headphone, a skill that would definitely be more difficult for a toddler. she would only be able to turn the volume lower if she adjusted the volume on the device herself. so i would set the device on max volume, listen thru the headphones myself to ensure it's not loud enough and adjust the volume on the headphones as i'd like, then let her listen to it. « Show Less

Yes! These are great headphones for a toddler and are adjustable so I use them sometimes too.

Hi Christiane -- For the sound limiting, we made the conscious choice not to include volume limiting for a few reasons. One, headphones that are volume limited become very hard to hear in "white noise" situations such as on an airplane or while driving. Also, with so many people using Bluetooth smartphones and tablets, the volume can be limited directly on certain device themselves. Thank you.

No, they will not reduce the sound enough. The foam earplugs will protect your ears and muffle the sound much better than these.

No, they're volume control, so they can't turn the iPad (or whatever) up too loud, to avoid damaging eardrums. For Monster Truck shows we've used the Junior Peltor ear defenders - Peltor Sport Bull's Eye 9 Hearing Protector our kid fell asleep at the truck show, but we'd forgotten to take OUR ear defenders, so we had to leave!

Hello D. In response to your question, no, they do not have a volume control. The volume is controlled by the device that you plug in to. Regards, Grant

Just Volume limiting. But due to their great cupping of the ear and their nice padding, I would say they do cancel quite a lot of noise.

they do have a volume control, I use mine for my metal detector, great phones

They are not for listening. They are for protecting your ears from loud sounds.

Not completely. I have not found anything that will do that as much as try to advertise! I wear them everynight because they do block most ambient sound i.e. fans, tv's down low.

No they don't work like that. There is no audio input, thats not what they are meant for, they are for blocking out sounds on the range that would harm your ears.

As with any listening device, it depends on how loud you have them turned up. Also do they have rabbit ears. I doubt they will cause a problem if you listen in "normal" volumes.

They don't block out ALL noise, but they definitely block a lot of noise. They don't mute everything though

They are not noise canceling. However, safety is in the hands of the user when it comes to audio devices. Depending on the multiple variables of the user along with the desired volume any headphone or ear bud could easily block elemental noise.

It depends what kind of hearing protection you want. If your using foam plugs or even foam plugs with string or small plastic headband I would say yes. If your using a full size headset style hearing protection even though I have never tried I would say no.

Only if you max the volume will people around you hear. They keep sound in very well.

I have not tested it with a decibel meter but it is not so loud as to be uncomfortable without hearing protection. I typically wear earplugs and safety glasses just to be on the safe side.

No, these will not help you. You can hear everything around, little to no protection at all. I bought 3 sets for same reasons. Try another product.
