Earlier this month, I told you about a pretty awesome set of headphones for kids. Since that post, I’ve actually gone on to purchase a second set and could not be happier with them. The kids, of course, love having their own personal headphones to use when listening to their favorite songs, playing a game, or even just watching a movie on the iPad. The fun design made them great for the kids and the easy-to-use volume control gave Mom & Dad peace of mind, too. However, we then ran into the issue of having two sets of headphones with only one audio jack available. Of course, this led to whining and fighting over whose turn it was to use whatever item it was at the time. In these instances, more often than not, we’d just opt to skip the headphones all together but when it came to certain “must have a plug” items such as the iPod, there was no getting around it… or so I thought.
Yes, eKids (a sister company of iHome) has done it once again. Now, plugging in just any old speaker (like Mom & Dad’s) just wouldn’t be quite cool enough for little ones these days. Those plain, black, rectangular mini-speakers are so not they’re style. But if you throw in some awesome, favorite characters, well, now you’re speaking their language. Because everything is so much cooler with superheroes and Disney characters, right? Of course!
Through the eKids line of Rechargeable Character Speakers, kids can now listen to their favorite songs in style. Despite its small size, these mini speakers pump out an incredible sound. Simply hook it up to any audio source and get ready for the fun. Their size defying sound will quickly fill up an entire room and then some with toe tappin’ tunes and, surely, have you dancing and singing along in no time.
Here, we have ours set up in the kids’ play room. Whenever they’re getting goofy, need to let loose and rid themselves of pent up wintertime energy, or just want to let their sillies out, we plug in their good ol’ superhero buddy and just enjoy some happy-go-lucky music. Seriously though, what’s not to like? Between the inclusion of fun characters from movies, TV, and timeless classics mixed with the wildly enjoyable world of music, it’d be darn near impossible to ever go wrong.
The eKids Rechargeable Character Speakers are available in a whopping eighteen different styles including the following:
- Iron Man
- Captain America
- The Incredible Hulk
- Skylanders Light Core Eruptor
- Skylanders Pop Fizz
- Skylanders Stealth Elf
- Skylanders Wrecking Ball
- Mickey Mouse
- Minnie Mouse
- Jack Skellington
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Raphael
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Donatello
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Michelangelo
- Spongebob Squarepants
- Plankton
- Patrick Starr
- Perry the Platypus
By now, I think it’s pretty obvious that we have the Iron Man version for our own little ones. The room that we have set it up in isn’t all too big so the one speaker alone works wonders in there. However, one of the neatest things about these Rechargeable Character Speakers is the fact that, through the in-line jack, you can connect multiple speakers to one audio source. Think about it… one iPod or MP3 player with two super fun characters sitting alongside it. Sounds like a pretty good setup, eh? And, bonus! You can recharge them! Just as easily as you can recharge your phone, simply plug it, charge it up, and take it on the go.
