What Buyers Say
eKids SM-140.UEXv0
Overall, these Mario-themed headphones receive mostly positive feedback for their sound quality, comfort, and parental volume control. However, a significant number of verified reviews report a critical durability issue where the audio jack breaks off after a few weeks of use, leading to frustration and product failure. The splitter feature for sharing audio is appreciated, but the recurring breakage problem heavily impacts the overall sentiment.
Pros
- Good sound quality
- Soft and comfortable ear pads
- Parental volume control
- Splitter for shared listening
- Easy for kids to use
Cons
- Audio jack breaks easily
- Flimsy build quality
- Short lifespan (weeks to months)
- Not noise-cancelling
- Difficult customer support
Sony ULT WEAR WHULT900N/B
The Sony ULT WEAR headphones deliver impressive noise cancellation and powerful bass via the ULT button, with many users praising the long battery life and comfortable fit. Sound quality improves significantly after using the companion app to customize the EQ, though some find the default sound muddy and the ULT bass boost overwhelming. A few long-term users report scratchy audio after two years, and the headphones are noted as bulky for some.
Pros
- Excellent noise cancellation
- Powerful bass with ULT button
- Long battery life (up to 30 hours)
- Comfortable for extended wear
- Customizable EQ via app
Cons
- Default sound is muddy without EQ
- ULT bass boost can be overwhelming
- Bulky design for some users
- Scratchy audio reported after 2 years
- Not ideal for gym use (fall off)
