The iClever Boostcare are brightly-colored kids headphones with a fun cat-inspired headband. They have a volume limit switch that's intended to help protect young listeners' hearing. However, they have an unbalanced sound profile and a bad noise isolation performance. That said, their wired-only design ensures that kids don't have to worry about running out of battery while listening, which is nice.
Our Verdict
The iClever Boostcare are poor for mixed usage. Their wired-only design is ideal for listeners who don't want to worry about latency or battery life. However, they have an unbalanced sound profile and they aren't stable enough to wear to the gym. Also, they don't block out background sounds typically found during a commute or in an office.

- Not very stable.
- Not comfortable for all listeners.

The iClever Boostcare are bad for commute and travel. Their bulky design isn't very portable and they aren't always comfortable to wear during long flights. Also, they don't block out the sounds of bus or plane engines or passengers chatting nearby. Fortunately, they don't leak a lot of noise.

The iClever Boostcare are poor for office use, though they likely won't be used in this setting as they're designed for kids.

The iClever Boostcare are wired-only headphones, so they can't be used for wireless gaming.
The iClever Boostcare are middling for wired gaming. Thanks to their wired design, they have very low latency, and they can be plugged into an Xbox One or PS4 controller. However, they don't have the most comfortable fit, and their unbalanced sound profile is lacking the low bass that makes action-packed scenes feel thumpy and punchy.

- Middling microphone recording quality.
- Not comfortable for all listeners.
- No sound customization features.
The iClever Boostcare are disappointing for phone calls. Their in-line microphone has a middling recording quality, so voices sound thin and muffled to whoever's on the other end of the line, especially if the user is calling from a noisy environment. They also don't block out a lot of background noise, which may be distracting during calls.
