BuddyPhones are created by ONANOFF, a design and technology company taking its name from the most fundamental feature of all electronics: the on and off button. Inspired by a friend looking for durable and safe headphones for his kids, we realized there weren’t many safe options on the market for children. Therefore, we decided to give parents peace of mind and provide a safe sound solution for little ones.
According to specialists, exposure to excessive levels of sound is proven to be damaging and can cause adverse long-term effects. Researchers who study hearing loss have found that a person who is exposed to noise levels higher than 85 decibels for a prolonged period is at risk for hearing loss. Children are exposed to dangerous levels of noise on a regular basis and many devices that children use have noise levels much higher than 85 decibels. Our volume-limiting headphones keep noise levels down to the World Health Organization recommended standards and look cool to boot. We also wanted to come up with a solution for parents whose little ones are constantly fighting over a device. For those that have more than one child at home and they have trouble sharing the ingenious BuddyCable audio splitter allows up to four kids to share one device, squabble-free. BuddyPhones are designed to meet the everyday challenges an ordinary family member faces and make life a little easier.
