Product Description
Ready for music, calls and quiet - safe-volume ANC headphones made for kids
Children's headphones usually force a choice between volume safety and everything else. The Philips 5000 series does not. There is a hard 75 dB limit for everyday listening, adaptive noise cancelling that removes the reason kids turn the volume up in the first place, 60 hours of battery, and an app that lets a parent set usage limits. It folds flat, takes a wired cable when the battery does die, and comes in sustainable packaging.
Safe volume for young ears
Volume is limited to 75 dB for everyday listening, tested to EN 50332, with an 85 dB travel mode a parent can enable in the app for noisier journeys. The limit is enforced in the headphones, not just suggested.
Adaptive Noise Cancelling Pro
Hybrid adaptive ANC with two dedicated microphones adjusts to the surroundings automatically. This matters more for children than adults - it removes the reason to push the volume up on a bus or a plane.
Awareness Mode at a tap
Earcup controls activate Awareness Mode and Quick Awareness, letting kids hear traffic, an announcement or a parent's voice without pulling the headphones off.
Parental controls in the app
The Philips Headphones app sets usage time limits, switches between the 75 dB and 85 dB modes, and delivers firmware updates - so the controls stay with the parent, not the child.
60 hours of playtime
Up to 60 hours with ANC off, or 34 hours with it on. That is weeks of school runs between charges rather than nightly plugging in.
15 minutes for 10 more hours
A quarter-hour on USB-C buys about ten hours of listening - enough to rescue a flat set on the way out of the door.
Share the music
Wireless audio sharing daisy-chains to another pair of Philips K5500 headphones, so two children can listen to the same film on a journey without a splitter.
40mm drivers
40 mm dynamic drivers with a 20 Hz - 20 kHz range - full-size drivers rather than the small ones usually fitted to children's headphones, which is why they sound like real headphones.
Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint
Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint keeps them connected to a tablet and a phone at once, switching automatically when a call comes in.
Wired option when the battery dies
A 3.5 mm socket means they keep working plugged into a seat-back screen or an older device, flat battery or not.
Folds flat and inwards
They fold both flat and inwards, so they take up very little room in a school bag - and the synthetic leather cushions wipe clean.
Two-year warranty
Backed by a two-year Philips warranty, which counts for something on a product that lives in a child's rucksack.
