I really liked the MyKokoon app that comes with this model as it has an unusually comprehensive content library, with selections for going to sleep, disruptive sleep and anxiety. Within these categories you can choose meditations, coaching, music and even storyscapes, a thoughtful section I didn’t find provided by the apps on any of the other headphones I tried. The final result is excellent. Snugs moulds use soft silicone that is very easy on the ear – some custom earphones use harder plastic that is likely to cause irritation for many people.

Unusually, they feature large 40mm drivers, better for bass, and volume sensitivity is variable. It can be set between 74dB, 85dB and 94dB. The levels are set via a key combination to prevent accidental adjustment. Functionality is definitely one of the Kokoon’s strengths. The app monitors your sleep, showing how many times you woke up and sleep duration. I appreciated having this data, although it may actually make some people more anxious (you can always just ignore this feature). You can also set sleep and wake-up times. It even determines the best times for you to go to sleep and wake up, based on your sleep profile; you have to fill out a questionnaire to get it to do this.I personally think the cable is a little long (roughly 130cm when plugged in at each end) but this may depend on what you're using the headphones for. When used with a tablet, the cable ends up getting sat on or our son sometimes gets himself tangled in it. This isn't much of an issue for supervised use, but I'm concerned the extra tugging might shorten the life of the cable. I do like that the cable is covered in fabric, though.

But the good news is that many sleep headphones can mask outside noise, as well as lull you into a deep restful sleep by playing relaxing content. These earbuds come with four different-sized tips, as well as three different wing sizes. This means it’s easy to find a comfy yet snug fit, one that won’t see the buds falling out when you toss and turn at night. They can be slightly uncomfortable if you sleep on your side, though, as they’re larger in profile than others and stand slightly proud in the ear. There’s a choice of four volume modes: 75dB Toddler Mode, 85dB Kid Mode, 94dB Travel Mode and StudyMode. The latter isn’t for music, it uses DSP to enhance the clarity of spoken audio content, which could help with online lessons. We’re all aware of the Philips name when it comes to electronics, so it’s great to see the Dutch firm tuning their attention to the children’s headphones market with the neat SHK2000.

Oddly, there are no white/brown/pink noise options to choose from, which is slightly surprising as they are very popular with people experiencing sleep issues. However, we like the fact that these earbuds are also designed to be used in waking life, making them a more versatile option than some others. Created for serious music lovers that demand the best in noise isolation, sound quality and comfort. The headphones are easy for my son to put on and take off by himself. The headband seems to have a bit of flexibility, which is good for when he inevitably stretches it out a bit too far. Right off the bat, the playful and cute designs of the Snug Play+ Kids Headphones are sure to catch my daughter's eye. From unicorns to vibrant fruit colors, there's a style that can resonate with every child's personality. My 6-year-old was particularly taken with the unicorn design.

Bluetooth is standard on all but the cheapest children’s headphones, and in many cases battery life matches or even exceeds what you’ll find on grown-up cans (as Active Noise Cancelling isn’t a thing in the classroom).
