iClever P550 review

iClever is a budget kids audio brand, and the P550 is one of its wireless over-ear models. Two volume limits, 74 dBA and 85 dBA, give parents a quieter setting for younger children and a standard one for older kids; iClever describes both as WHO-compliant. The battery is rated at up to 48 hours with the LED lights off, so the light show that kids enjoy comes at a cost in playtime. It connects over Bluetooth 6.0 or an AUX cable, charges by USB-C, and has a built-in microphone that iClever says works with iPads, tablets and Chromebooks. The earcups rotate and the band folds, the frame is ABS plastic with leather cushions, and iClever states the build is free of BPA, PVC and heavy metals. It weighs 158.8 g. Support is thinner than the bigger brands, with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns, and the store redirected us to its EU shop, so the US price is pending.
