The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are on-ear headphones designed for kids. They come in several different colors, and have a max volume of 95dB to protect the listener's hearing. Unlike many other headphones, they have a daisy chain cable so two users can listen to the same audio. However, we weren't able to get it to work with our test unit. Some users also may find that the ear cups clamp the top of their ears, which can be uncomfortable. On the upside, they have a decent and sturdy build quality. They have an excellent battery performance, and can even be used passively or while charging with their included 1/8" TRS cable.
Our Verdict
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are mediocre for mixed use. These decently durable headphones have an excited, v-shaped sound that delivers a thumpy, boomy bass. However, their sound is still suited for a variety of audio content. They also have an excellent battery performance and can be used via Bluetooth or passively with their TRS cable. While they really struggle to cut down noise like bus engines or ambient chatter, they don't leak too much audio.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- Poor noise isolation.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are passable for neutral sound. They have an excited, v-shaped sound profile that delivers intense thump and boom. However, this muddies and clutters part of their mid-range. The treble range is also bright and harsh. On the upside, their frequency response consistency is decent, although they struggle a bit more to deliver treble consistently.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
- Inconsistent treble delivery.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are adequate for commute and travel. They can be a bit uncomfortable to wear for long periods. They don't block out much ambient noise, especially in the bass-range, so wearers can easily hear the rumble from bus or plane engines. On the upside, they're fairly portable, and their battery life should be long enough for most commutes or trips.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- Poor noise isolation.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are fair for sports and fitness. Although they clamp tightly on the top of the ears, which can be uncomfortable especially when worn for long periods, they're not very stable on the head. Small movements could cause them to fall off your child's head. On the upside, when used via Bluetooth, they don't have an audio cable that can snag on something.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
- Unstable fit.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are unremarkable for office use. However, they most likely won't be used for this purpose by kids. Their on-ear fit can clamp on the tops of the ears, making them uncomfortable to wear for long periods. They also struggle to isolate noise such as ambient chatter around the wearer. On the upside, they have a great leakage performance, and their continuous battery life can easily last through the work day.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- Poor noise isolation.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless aren't suitable for wireless gaming. While their wireless latency is better than many other options, it still may be too high for some gamers. Also, they're only compatible with Bluetooth-enabled PCs, and can't connect to PS4 or Xbox One consoles.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless aren't bad for wired gaming. Although they can be used on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with an analog connection, they can only receive audio, which some may find a little limiting. They can also put pressure on the tops of the ear and be uncomfortable to wear for long periods. That said, since they deliver a boomy, thumpy bass, sound effects have more emphasis in your favorite action games.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
- Can only receive audio when connected via analog to consoles.
The Puro JuniorJams Wireless are disappointing for phone calls. Their integrated microphone captures voices that sound thin and muffled, and it struggles to separate speech from ambient noise. These headphones also really struggle to reduce background noise, which can make it difficult to hear the caller on the other line.
- Excellent battery performance.
- 95dB volume limiter allows children to listen to audio at safe levels.
- Poor noise isolation.
- On-ear fit may not be comfortable for all wearers.
- Poor integrated microphone performance.
