The iClever BTH02 are on-ear wireless headphones designed for kids. They have a compact, lightweight design that should suit most children's heads but may be uncomfortable for some kids with larger ears. They have a 94dB volume limit meant to protect young listeners' hearing and have an easy-to-understand control scheme. However, they don't feel especially sturdy and have a poor integrated microphone that clips the voice and makes it sound muffled and slightly distorted. Still, if you're looking for a pair of basic Bluetooth headphones for your child, they aren't a bad choice.
Our Verdict
The iClever BTH02 are sub-par for mixed usage. They have a plasticky build, so they may not be durable enough for use by children who like to play rough with their toys. Their on-ear fit isn't very adjustable and may not be comfortable for all listeners. On the plus side, they have a long battery life that should last throughout long road trips and don't leak that much noise.
- Long battery life.
- Simple control scheme.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- Inconsistent audio delivery.
- On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
- Bad noise isolation performance.
- Flimsy build quality.
The iClever BTH02 are middling for neutral sound. They have a boomy sound profile that muddies vocals and lead instruments. They have an underemphasized treble response that dulls higher notes and makes sibilants sound somewhat lispy. They also slightly struggle to deliver audio consistently.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- Inconsistent audio delivery.
- Sub-par stereo imaging capability.
The iClever BTH02 are inadequate for commuting and travel. They're somewhat uncomfortable and a little bulky. They also don't block out much in the way of ambient noise, especially in the bass range, so wearers may hear the rumble of bus engines as well as chatter from fellow travelers. That said, they have a very long battery life that should be more than enough to last overnight trips.
- Long battery life.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
- Bad noise isolation performance.
- Flimsy build quality.
The iClever BTH02 are passable for sports and fitness. They aren't very tight on the head and have a somewhat unstable fit, so they may fall off with even moderate head movements. Thankfully, they have a basic control scheme that's easy to use, even when on-the-move.
- Simple control scheme.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- Unstable fit.
- Flimsy build quality.
The iClever BTH02 are sub-par for office use, but since they're designed for children, it's unlikely that they'll be used for this kind of scenario. They're not especially comfortable and let in a lot of ambient noise, which can be annoying. They leak very little audio and last for more than 50 hours on a single charge, so they should have no trouble lasting the workweek.
- Long battery life.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- Inconsistent audio delivery.
- On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
- Bad noise isolation performance.
The iClever BTH02 aren't suitable for wireless gaming since they can't connect wirelessly to Xbox One and PS4 consoles and have high wireless latency on PC.
The iClever BTH02 are mediocre for wired gaming, as long as their user doesn't intend on using their integrated microphone. The included 1/8" TRS cable allows users to receive audio on all systems with an AUX port, and their bass-heavy sound profile should give some in-game sound effects extra emphasis. Unfortunately, they aren't especially comfortable.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- Support for passive audio playback.
- Sub-par stereo imaging capability.
- On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
The iClever BTH02 are poor for making phone calls. Their integrated mic clips the user's voice and makes it sound unnatural and muffled. It also struggles to isolate speech from even moderately-loud background noise. They let in a lot of ambient noise, which can make it difficult to focus on phone conversations.
- 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
- Poor microphone recording quality.
- Bad noise isolation performance.
