The risk of hearing loss due to listening too much to MP3 music is still in the heat of discussion in US press. Maxfield launches the MAX-JOY MP3 player designed to target 6 -12 year old kids and says in the introduction of MAX-JOY:

“Now parents don’t need to worry about their children damaging & opening expensive players or damaging their own ears & ear-drums with this practical and stylish range.”

Its special child-friendly features include audio output restriction to a maximum of 60DB from the main player to protect those growing ear-drums, tough external stereo headphones by Koss designed not to interfere with developing ears that comes with a 15 year guarantee, and a rugged dirt, water and impact resistant outer casing. Battery life is 19 hours from one AAA battery.

If your kid is nagging you to buy a MP3 player, would you go for this one?
