“Bought this after seeing them in dragons den. We had excellent customer service and when the headphones arrived we built them together and had a truly rewarding experience doing so. This experience did not match the expectations it hugely improved it. My daughter has a great set of headphones that she built herself. Excellent quality throughout.”

The Kibu way

01 / 05

Build It Together

More than just headphones – Kibu is a hands-on experience. Build them together, learn how they work, and finish with something they are proud to wear.

Child assembling Kibu headphones

Repair, Don’t Replace

If anything breaks, simply replace the part instead of the whole thing. Kids can see how their headphones fit together and help bring them back to life.

Child enjoying music safely

Safe for Little Ears

With the Kibu Safety Engine, our headphones always stay at a kid-safe level. Worry-free listening for parents, fun listening for kids.

Sustainable by Design

Made from 3D-printed recycled materials, Kibu headphones are built with the planet in mind. And when they reach the end of their journey, send them back for recycling.

Loved by parents and kids!

“We need more ingenious designs like this for products that respect our planet.”

Guardian

“Their selling point, really, is the ethos behind them: encouraging young people to be considerate consumers.”

Financial Times

“With several kids that like to construct and deconstruct everything, the attraction of the Kibu headphones, which are designed to be built and repaired by kids themselves, was immediately clear.”

Dezeen

“These customisable children’s headphones are a first step into the essential world of circular design.”

Wallpaper

“The future of consumer electronics is here.”

Autodesk

“A modular design not only allows broken parts to be replaced, but enables the product to “grow” with the child.”

Response from Kibu
Thanks Mike, so glad you took the leap after Dragons' Den, and even happier the build went well. Building them together is our favourite part too. Thanks for being part of the Kibu family!

Great idea, quality product, learning experience.
Response from Kibu
Thank you Abby, these photos absolutely made our day. Seeing them build it themselves and then proudly wearing the finished pair is exactly why we make Kibu. We love that it was a fun learning experience as much as a great product. Thank you for sharing this with us, and enjoy the listening.

Nifty design that promotes fixing and reusing things, rather than throwing away. The fact that they can't turn the volume up beyond recommended decibel levels is one less thing to worry about, as a parent. The daisy chain system works well. The kids are obsessed, and we're enjoying some peace and quiet in the car!
Response from Kibu
Thanks Lucy, you've captured exactly what we set out to do. Fixable, reusable, and safe by design with the volume cap built in. Thank you for championing it.

I bought a Kibu headset 5 months ago to take on a family holiday without really knowing which grandchild should be given it. The grandchildren were 13, 11 and 6 years old at the time. I need not have worried. The two older children had great fun unpackaging the components and then following the instruction about how to build it and the youngest was given the headset at the end. There was a real sense of achievement when it was finished and we tested it. It worked! A great idea to use recycled materials and to make the instructions accessible by scanning a QR code. The step by step videos were easy to follow but could be rerun when we were unsure. Minimal adult input was required. Very beautifully package too. Very easy. The instructions were very clear and easy to access by scanning the QR code using a smartphone. It was great to find that there were videos for each stage of the process so that we could rewatch them individually.

I bought these as a Christmas gift and my cousins (5 & 9) loved them! They were so proud to wear a pair of headphones they’d made themselves!
Response from Kibu
This made our day, Lucia. Proud kids in headphones they helped build is the whole idea. Thank you for choosing Kibu as a gift.

A great product ! Easy to build, fun, and quite a great sound for a "kid" product ! Clear and simple Tutorial in vidéo. Perfect for children ! Maybe soon a french speaking Tutorial ? The headphones are easy to build, except for the second part of the head band, to be slided into the rigid upper headband.
Response from Kibu
So glad the build was fun and the sound impressed you. A French tutorial is a lovely idea, we will definitely look into it. Thank you for the kind words.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kibu headphones are perfect for curious minds aged 4 and up! Whether you're just starting primary school or heading into your teens, these headphones will grow with you. Little builders will need a grownup's helping hands to put them together. It's a brilliant chance to create something amazing together!

WARNING! Contains small parts that could cause choking - not for children under 3 years old. The cable is long and could be dangerous. Always use with a grown-up nearby.

Just like your favourite stretchy jumper, these headphones bend and adjust to fit your head perfectly! We've made the headband super flexible, and the ear cushions are as soft as pillows. They're made from gentle materials that feel nice against your skin, so they can be worn comfortably whether you're listening to a short story or having an all-day adventure.
Building your Kibu headphones is easier than you think! Just follow along with our step-by-step video, and you'll snap everything together piece by piece — no screws, no fiddly wires, just clicks and curiosity. By the end, you'll have built your very own pair of headphones from scratch. Pretty cool, right?
No need to panic — that's what Kibu is built for! Because you built your headphones yourself, you already know how to fix them. Just find the broken part, order a replacement, and snap it back in. Easy. Fixing things is a superpower, and now you've got it. For extra peace of mind, you can add Kibu Care. It covers accidental damage — think knocks, drops, and spills — and includes free replacement parts if something goes wrong. If a fix isn't possible, we'll work out a repair or replacement with you. Making a claim is simple too: just share your order number and a quick photo or video, and we'll take it from there.
Every pair of Kibu headphones has something special built right inside — the Kibu Safety Engine. It works to keep the volume at a safe volume for little ears. It caps sound at 85 decibels, which is the level experts say is safe for children. So you can press play and enjoy, without anyone having to worry.
Safety is baked into every part of Kibu — from the Kibu Safety Engine that keeps volume at a safe level, to the snap-together design with no sharp edges, loose wires, or fiddly screws. We recommend a grown-up joins in during building time, both for safety and because it's much more fun together. Kibu is designed for children aged 3 and up.

WARNING: Contains small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years old. The cable may pose a strangulation risk. Always supervise young children during use.

Kibu headphones use a 3.5mm headphone jack — the same connector you'll find on most tablets, computers, and audio players. If your device doesn't have one (some newer phones and tablets don't), you'll just need a simple adapter. These are easy to find and usually cost just a few pounds.
Kibu headphones are 3D printed from a special plant-based plastic made from materials like corn. That means instead of using regular plastic, we're turning natural, renewable materials into something brilliant. And because every part can be replaced, repaired, or recycled, nothing goes to waste. Your headphones aren't just good for listening — they're good for the planet too.
Yes! Every pair of Kibu headphones has a sharing port built right in, so you can daisy-chain multiple pairs together. Plug one pair into another, and another into that — everyone gets to listen at once. Perfect for a long car journey or a movie night with friends.
Most headphones are made to be thrown away when something goes wrong. Kibu is different. You build them yourself, so you understand how they work. You can repair them yourself, so nothing gets wasted. They're made from recycled materials, so they're kind to the planet from the very start. And the Kibu Safety Engine keeps your ears safe the whole time. Kibu isn't just a pair of headphones — it's proof that you can make, fix, and care for the things you own.
We deliver to the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and across Europe including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. Please note that orders outside the UK may be subject to additional VAT, import taxes, or customs fees. For full details on delivery costs and returns, head to our delivery and returns page.
Keeping your Kibu headphones in great shape is really simple. Every now and then, give them a gentle wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to clear away any dust or fingerprints. Avoid harsh cleaning products, and keep water away from the speakers. A quick check every so often to make sure everything is still snapped together properly is all they need.
Kibu headphones are built for real life — car journeys, plane trips, and everything in between. They're tough, light, and ready to go wherever you go.
When your Kibu headphones have reached the end of their life, don't throw them away — send them back to us. We'll make sure every part is recycled properly, so the materials can go on to become something new. It's the last step in the Kibu loop: build, repair, and recycle.
