Do these automatically limit the sound, or does it rely on some knob that my kid can twist all the way up to potentially harmful volumes?

They do not limit then sound. I tried them using an ipad, what they're mainly used for, and the highest volume doesn't seem like it would damage the ear. Still have to make sure it's not too loud though.

there is no knob on the headphones. The volume is controlled on the device that you are using (ie ipod, ipad, etc). I believe these just don't have a higher max volume.

It uses the sound on the device they are listening to, to limit volume. There is no volume control on the headphones.

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

There is no volume adjuster included within the cord of the headphones, so the headphones will go as loud or as soft as the device settings permit. I can say that the loudest setting is not as loud as one would think. I believe it was meant to be that way.

I usually turn the volume knob up at 3/4 of the max capacity. And it kicks ass! You should have someone turning up the mixer vokume while you check the back of the sub so you see how much itbcan handled before clipping. I let mines clip a little bit. Had them work 7 hours straight with no problems. I hope i answer your question.

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

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.

I would look for the child headphones with a volume limit, so they can't inadvertently damage their hearing. Plus, I hate to say it, but these headphones really have poor sound quality (I know they aren't expensive, but still).

My daughter doesn't have a problem with her turntable. She said turn up the volume. Good luck.

You can not only listen to but control your own level of sound without effecting his volume choice. Don't know the answer to your second question. My mother loves her headphones

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.

Yes. And as a beginner and playing at home, the volume knob and headphones help keep the noise down in the house when it's late at night with kids sleeping.

No, they don't, however, always lower the volume when not in use to protect the speakers. A surge of loud volume could blow them.

Yes. You can set the volume to the level you want. It will also shut itself off after a certain period of inactivity. My daughter loves hers.

Neither of my children were willing to wear any headphones until they were at least 3. I just turned their volume down low, it wasn't any louder than adults talking, and certainly quieter than an unhappy kid!

They do NOT!!!! But you can't hurt these headphones with high volumes unless you totally get stupid. I LOVE them.

I wore these often during my son's first year, especially during those spells where he would just scream and scream for hours no matter what (contrary to Not Tellin's answer, kids will scream no matter what you do sometimes, he obviously has never actually had to take care of an infant before). So in short, no, these won't block out the sound. They MIGHT, however, keep you from going nuts. The sound is muffled and the really agonizing part of the screaming is cut out, especially if you pair these with some earbuds playing music. These allowed me to spend many hours rocking and dancing my son while he screamed and helped to keep me from throwing him out a window.

Not that I have noticed. We are usually listening at less than half source volume so an adjustment to increase volume can be made. My daughters are typically the ones using the splitter function on a laptop and adjust it to their own preference. I used the splitter to control headphone volume on a bedroom TV audio out since that audio out could not be controlled through the TV.

Yes they don't get too loud. I've turned them all the way up and put them on. Other brands have been a lot louder. That being said, I still run them at 1/2 volume for my littler kids
