Here is our review of the Puro PuroQuiet-PLUS Wireless Headset.
The new headphones employ many outstanding features including high-quality aluminium construction and plush noise-isolating ear-pads. The outstanding clarity of the Puro Balanced Response curve and digital signal processing (DSP) enable volume-limiting to prevent ear damage. It matches the natural sound reproduced in a perfectly tuned listening room. Thanks to the superior sound quality, music vocals and movie or game dialogue is heard clearly against the full spectrum of audio, from deep bass to high frequencies, reducing the need to increase the volume. Due to the advanced digital signal processing, the volume limiting at 85dB is completely imperceptible and natural.
In addition to the sleek design, the PuroQuiet Plus headphones have an active noise cancellation feature that suppress ambient noise levels and provides a superior listening experience in even the loudest of environments. It blocks out daily noise and background sounds up to 22 dB, complemented by 82% noise isolation and puts the wider world on mute so youngsters can listen clearly in a loud environment. It can also help calm children down in a loud and unfamiliar environment, reduce noise related stress and increase their overall focus on one thing without the distraction of ambient noise. Puro Sound Labs is the first ever company to be Certified Sensory Inclusive. Additional features include the latest Bluetooth profiles for CD-like quality wireless audio, a highly sensitive microphone for taking calls or gaming with friends and up to 23-hours of active battery life with ANC.
The PuroQuiet Plus is designed to keep music at suitable volume levels for children whilst maintaining a balanced sound signature. The default 85dB volume limiting prevents kids and teens from suffering the gradual but permanent hearing damage by cranking the sound up too high unintentionally. The maximum 85dB is recommended by Hearing Health Foundation, OSHA and World Health Organisation as the safe listening level.
The PuroQuiet Plus headphones also utilise the latest Bluetooth v4.0 technology for wirelessly connecting to other devices. The battery life of the new PuroQuiet Plus matches the previous model at 23 Hours of Battery with ANC and 35 Hours without. The headphones stay wirelessly connected up to 30 feet, as well, so that parents can control the child’s device from the seat in front in the car or even the next room at home.
The super soft protein leather wrapped headband and ear cushions weigh only 169g ensuring all-day wearing comfort, combined with a smooth sliding arm so children can adjust to suit their head sizes. PuroQuiet Plus uses AL6063 aluminium for enhanced durability and comes in a choice of 6 colours for a stylish appearance that kids will love. The fold flat design also allows easy portability when kids are playing and travelling.

Final Thoughts
The headphones are very light weight and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and are easily adjusted for maximum comfort – my trusty 7 year old helper loved them, and not just because they were red!
The headphones come in a neat carry case that also provides protection when being carried. The case easily fits the headphones and cables.
Pairing the headphones with a device is really easy and only takes a few moments. You can also use the supplied headphone cables should you not want to use Bluetooth – just plug them in!
Battery life is excellent too – when fully charged the headphones can provide around 35 hours of play time without the active noise cancelling enabled, or 23 hours with the active noise cancelling enabled, so pretty much any situation you can think of will work for these!
The sound quality is excellent, and one of the main selling points of these headphones is that they are volume limited to 85 dBA so your child’s ears should be protected from overly loud noise! They also provide great ambient noise isolation too! There is a built-in microphone as well if needed and that works well.
All the controls are on the side of the headset, including a physical on/off switch and volume up and down. If you are using a cable to connect the headset then the volume buttons will be disabled and you will need to adjust the volume on the device you are listening to.
There is also a built-in mic that can be used too and it works really well.
If you have a child that wants, or needs a really decent set of volume-limited wireless headphones then take a look, and listen at the Puro PuroQuiet-PLUS Wireless Headset!
The Puro PuroQuiet-PLUS Wireless Headset is available now priced around £112 and are available in Red (reviewed here), Teal, Dark Blue, Light Pink, Black and Purple.
