Kibu Custom Colours: Design Your Own Children's Headphones, Part by Part

Most headphones come in a handful of colours, chosen by someone in an office long before your child ever sees them. Pick black, pick white, maybe pick blue. That's it.

We think children should get to decide for themselves. So with Kibu Custom Colours, they do.

Part by Part, Your Choice

Custom Colours lets your child choose the colours of the main parts: the outer donut, the middle donut and the headband. Each one comes in ten colours:

• Blueberry
• Candy Red
• Crocodile Green
• Pink Lavender
• Eggshell
• Electric Blue
• Mint Green
• Punch Pink
• Sunset
• Iron Black

And because the left and right sides are chosen separately, the two ear cups don't have to match. That's five parts and ten colours each, which works out at 100,000 possible combinations. The chances are good that nobody else in the playground will have the same pair.

Why We Think Custom Colours Are One of a Kind

There are plenty of headphones for children out there. Some come in a choice of colours for the whole headset. A few let children decorate them with stickers or slip a drawing behind a clear ear cup.

As far as we know, Kibu Custom Colours are the only children's headphones that let you choose the colours part by part, left and right separately, and then build them yourself. Your child doesn't just pick a pair. They design it, and then they put it together with their own hands.

That second part matters to us as much as the first. When a child has chosen the colours and clicked every piece into place, the headphones stop being just another thing they own. They become something they made.

How It Works

1. Open the designer. Go to Custom Colours on our shop and you'll see a pair of Kibu headphones ready to colour in.
2. Tap a part. Pick the outer donut, middle donut or headband on either side.
3. Choose a colour. Tap any of the ten colours and watch the headphones change straight away.
4. Feeling stuck? Press Surprise me and we'll pick a brand-new combination for you.
5. Add to basket. We make your design and send it to you as a kit.

It's a lovely thing to do together. Sit down with your child, let them take charge, and see what they come up with. You might be surprised.

Design your own Kibu

Made for Your Child, Built by Your Child

Custom Colours are the same Kibu headphones inside, just designed by your child on the outside:

• Built from a kit in around 20 minutes, with no fiddly screws or wires
• Volume limited to 85dB, the level audiologists and the World Health Organisation consider safe for extended listening
• Wired, so there are no batteries to run flat halfway through a journey
• Daisy-chain compatible, so brothers, sisters and friends can share the same film or story
• Repairable, with individual replacement parts
• Made in Britain from a plant-based bioplastic
• A one-year warranty, plus Kibu Care if you'd like accidental damage covered too

And if a part ever breaks, you replace that one part, not the whole pair. Who knows, it might even be a chance to try a new colour.

What Will Yours Look Like?

Bold and bright, calm and earthy, or completely different on each side? There's no wrong answer. Every pair of Custom Colours is a one-off, designed by the person who will wear it.
