Are these volume limiting? Some children's headphones will limit decibels to 90, as opposed to 116-120 for adults, but I just saw adjustable volume...

While I do not have a Decibel Meter / Sound Level Reader to determine if the sound can be turned up greater then 90 decibels. To my adult ears I have to turn it down from the Max level to have it be comfortable to listen to. Here is what you do. You listen to the music. Set the level to a resonable level and then duck tape the thumb roller so that your child has to take the tape off before they can mess with the volume control. Problem solved. You might want to check to make sure that they are not pealing the tape off. Oh by the way a BAFX Products (TM) - Decibel Meter / Sound Level Reader - W/ Battery! costs $ 19.49 on Amazon and then you can check all of your kids toys. Hope this helped.

Sorry...I don't know. I bought them for an airplane ride because my grandson is noise sensitive. I was afraid the plane would be too loud for him. He didn't need them so I don't know if they have even been used! He is just 2.

It is limited as opposed to other headphones used by adults. I tried putting it on the loudest just to see how it will be if my son accidentally taps on the volume (most unlikely), and it gives a clear sound but not too loud. What I do is set the volume of the gadget to about 70% and set the iPad much lower to 40% volume.

This is only a 32Ohm unit and you maybe used to a 50Ohm unit ... so you maybe over driving the max output of the headphones. Mine are pretty loud and actually respond better on my mobile than others. I did notice a huge difference when I plugged them into a soundboard that I normally use 50Ohm headphones. (Your output device may not work well at 32Ohms.) But at the max volume when they start to distort is way too loud for me and I don't want to loose hearing.

They're made for adult sized ears. They may not work with kids younger than 13, or whenever their head typically reaches adult size.

This has limit volume, they can turn it lower but the higher volume has a maximum permited. Hope I could help.

Ours broke after 6 months so I don't know. The ears control the sounds. They quit working. My kid is a teenager & treated it well so I think it's just a defect. But could return as it had been too long. Wouldn't recommend.

Not at normal volume. At high volumes people in a quiet room can hear _something_ - much like other headphones - they can tell it's music, but not really hear it.

Hi carlitas99, this Sony headphones has an increased impedance on the headphones in which it will try to eliminate volume issues. Even that volume from an audio source will be increased, it will always go to safe level of listening. -Ely

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 believe so. The volume is controlled by the computer not the headphones. But keep in mind they may not stay put on a 2 yr olds head.

No. Make sure to adjust down until you put them on in case someone played with them. They are great. Volume control has a great range.

Not sure, my children were only allowed to use headphones with them on our trip. Overall they performed quite well.

They can get pretty loud or quite depending on what you set the volume to. They only issue you might find is controlling the volume each time you unplug the speakers it defaults to a slightly lower setting. Plus the volume control is digital button for up down and off, with no indication on how high or low you've set your volume to, other than you and your students ears

You want to look at dB SPL output...I saw a spec sheet saying that these produce 108 dB SPL compared to the next model up which produces 115 which would be dangerous as 112 dB SPL is the level at which permanent hearing damage occurs. 108 dB SPL (sound pressure level, or how we hear volume) should be enough as it is 5 times the SPL of ambient room noise. (every increase of 6 dB doubles the intensity) Electronic specs really have to do with matching the amplifier to the speaker (in this case the small ones in the headphones) hope this helps some. btw I am not Kevin I'm using his login now.

well I got mine for kids, so I am happy with the lower volume but I give them headphones and they are happy with it, I use it to interact with my tv and play things on there so volume is not an issue there either. Sorry this really is of no help if your volume is too low for you.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but I will give it a shot. These are pretty sensitive as to sound verses volume. unlike most that I have used, these seem to be more equivalent to the volume of your car stereo, the more you turn your device up the louder the sound gets. Some ear buds tend to stop getting louder once your volume is about half way.

The max is 90dB. I've been very pleased with the limiting factor for my kids. 90 is pretty loud, but not loud enough to do damage unless under extremely long periods of time.
