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

0.0
Mixed Usage 

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.

Pros
  • Long battery life.
  • Simple control scheme.
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
Cons
  • Inconsistent audio delivery.
  • On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
  • Bad noise isolation performance.
  • Flimsy build quality.
0.0
Neutral Sound 

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.

Pros
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
Cons
  • Inconsistent audio delivery.
  • Sub-par stereo imaging capability.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

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.

Pros
  • Long battery life.
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
Cons
  • On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
  • Bad noise isolation performance.
  • Flimsy build quality.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

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.

Pros
  • Simple control scheme.
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
Cons
  • Unstable fit.
  • Flimsy build quality.
0.0
Office 

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.

Pros
  • Long battery life.
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
Cons
  • Inconsistent audio delivery.
  • On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
  • Bad noise isolation performance.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

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.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

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.

Pros
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
  • Support for passive audio playback.
Cons
  • Sub-par stereo imaging capability.
  • On-ear design may not suit all head shapes.
0.0
Phone Calls 

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.

Pros
  • 94dB volume limiter allows children to listen to music safely.
Cons
  • Poor microphone recording quality.
  • Bad noise isolation performance.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The iClever BTH02 comes in four different color variants: 'Green', 'Blue', 'Pink', and 'Blue/Orange'. We tested the 'Green' variant, and you can see its label here. We expect the other variants of these headphones to perform similarly overall.

    If someone comes across a differently-configured iClever BTH02 model, let us know in the discussions below so that we can update our review.

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

    The iClever BTH02 are basic kids' headphones. They have a long battery life, a simple control scheme, and a 94dB volume limit to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing, but they feel somewhat flimsy and don't block out much in the way of ambient noise. If you're looking for alternatives, take a look at our recommendations for the best wireless Bluetooth headphones, and the best on-ear headphones.

    Puro JuniorJams Wireless

    Track

    The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are better wireless headphones for kids than the iClever BTH02 Wireless. The Puro seem better built and have a more neutral sound profile. While their continuous battery life isn't as long as that of the iClever, they have an auto-off timer to help them conserve battery life when not in use. However, the iClever's integrated mic has significantly better performance, although it's still disappointing overall.

    JBL JR300BT Wireless

    Track

    The JBL JR300BT Wireless are better wireless kids headphones than the iClever BTH02 Wireless. The JBL have a more comfortable on-ear fit, a better-balanced sound profile, are easier to carry around, and much lower wireless latency. However, the iClever are better-built, have almost five times the single-charge battery life of the JBL, and offer support for passive audio playback on a wired connection.

    Motorola Squads 200

    Track

    The iClever BTH02 Wireless and the Motorola Squads 200 are kids headphones, but depending on preferences, some users may prefer one over the other. The iClever are Bluetooth headphones that are significantly more comfortable, and better-built. Their battery performance is great too and they have a continuous battery life of over 50 hours. However, the Motorola are wired headphones that can be used with full-compatibility with PC, PS4, and Xbox One. They also have a better-performing microphone.

    iClever Boostcare

    Track

    The iClever BTH02 Wireless are better headphones for kids than the iClever Boostcare. The BTH02 are better-built, and they can be used wirelessly, unlike the Boostcare. While the BTH02 have a bass-heavy sound profile, it's still more neutral than the Boostcare's unbalanced sound profile.
