Disclosure: we were sent a pair of PuroBasic headphones for the purpose of this review but all words and opinions are my own.
Back in October last year we were sent a pair of Junior Jams headphones to review. Nerys has claimed them as her own now, and still absolutely loves them. They still look as good as new, are really easy for her to use and let her watch her videos in peace without me asking her to turn the volume down all the time!
The thing is, the old pair of headphones that Rhys had gave up a few months ago, so he was still having to put up with me commenting on the nonsense he likes to watch on YouTube.
So when we were asked if we’d like to review a pair of PuroBasic headphones I jumped at the chance for us all to have a bit of peace!
The PuroBasic headphones come in blue, green, pink and red and the shades are all really nice and vibrant.
We picked out the red pair for Rhys as it’s his favourite colour, and he was so happy when he opened the box. The picture on the box was of a blue pair, so I think he expected the pair inside to be the same colour so he had a happy surprise when he opened it up.
The box itself is quite nice and compact, because the headphones are sort of folded down inside.
The ear cups fold down so the headphones don’t take up that much space which is great if you want to take them out and about with you. There’s a little storage bag for them included in the box which is a nice touch.
Once you take the headphones out of the box you just pop the ear cups into place and then they feel nice and sturdy.
The PuroBasics are wired headphones which is great for Rhys, because he mainly uses them while sitting at the computer.
Nerys loves the fact that hers are wireless so she can get up and dance around to songs on the iPad without getting tangled, but that’s not so much an issue for Rhys. He just loves to sit at the computer and watch the gamers he likes on YouTube and play his own music when he’s playing games, without being asked to turn the sound down all the time.
The PuroBasics do look a bit more, well, basic than the Junior Jams headphones but they are still a great quality pair of headphones.
The sound quality is great, it’s something that Puro Sounds really pride themselves on. They don’t scrimp on the quality just because these are children’s headphones. What they do do though, is help protect little ears by limiting how high you can turn the volume up, so you can trust that your children won’t harm their hearing while wearing these.
Rhys will quite happily wear these headphones for long stretches of time, which tells you something about how comfy they are. You can adjust the sizing on them, and the ear cups are lovely and soft.
All in all we’re really happy with the PuroBasic headphones.
Rhys really loves the bright, vibrant red and the classic, simple design. The cable to plug the headphones in feels like it will stand the test of time and is long enough for him to be comfortable using them plugged in to the computer. They’re also compatible with our other devices which is great for when he does want to use the iPad or the laptop in peace.
Just like the Junior Jams, I can see these headphones getting a lot of use over the next few years!
