Product Overview
ETY•Kids5 from Etymotic Research is an ETY•Kids™ package that contains a set of safe-listening earphones that are engineered expecially for safe sound output while maintaining Etymotic's exceptional sound quality. By controlling the sensitivity of the earphone, there's no need to restrict the volume setting on the player. The sound heard through ETY•Kids earphones won't exceed safe levels, so parents can rest easy. Even at the maximum volume setting on portable players, kids 4 and older can safely listen for up to 4 hours per day. And because of ETY•Kids earphones' capability to block background noise, as well as provide high-definition sound quality, kids will be able to hear every detail with no complaints that the volume is too low. They're Available in Black, Pink, and Yellow (please specify when ordering).
Free Book/CD OfferThis particular ETY•Kids product includes a free copy of the delightful book and music CD "Hu's Hoo & The Zoo".
- Who's Hu?
- Hu's Hoo & The Zoo is a 5-member singing group who perform original music in a variety of styles including rock, pop, country, Latin, plus R&B. The band's members are:
- Hu the Owl - Hu is an Asian Brown Owl, now living in Brooklyn, New York. He's the band's leader and co-writes their music with the songwriting team of Kornfeld & Cobert. Hu is known for his good habits and conduct, though he has an outsized affection for Halloween and an issue with vegetables. Still, all who know him describe him as "wise."
- Juana the Iguana – Juana is originally from Puerto Rico, but now lives in Manhattan's Soho district. She is known for her sweet tooth, enjoys traveling to London for the Wimbledon Championships and has sung back up for both English and Latin acts. Those who know her describe her as "saucy."
- Ali the Cat – Ali is a little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n' roll. As comfortable in a gown as in jeans, she also considers herself to be a fashion queen, not needing a special occasion to dress up. Ali lives with her parents in Westchester, New York but her heart is in Nashville. Friends describe her as "cool."
- Roscoe the Chocolate Lab – Roscoe is a retriever who knows how to bring home a vocal. Originally from Chicago's south side, Roscoe makes his home in the Harlem section of Manhattan. A regular at Zabar's cheese counter, Roscoe is everybody's "best friend."
- Stokely the California Squirrel Dude – Stokely is a transplant to New York's Greenwich Village, having moved there from Huntington Beach, California. Now taking saxophone lessons after recently getting his braces off, Stokely is known for being a little bit "nuts."
- Hendricks the Hamster - Hendricks met the band in a Brooklyn recording studio while working with another act and immediately signed on as the Zoo's manager. He's the cousin of Spinal Tap's manager Ian Faith, and highly experienced in working with animals. Those who know him describe him as "cheeky."
- Bunny the PA – Bunny is without doubt, the brains of the operation. Always connected, always professional, Bunny is the ultimate personal assistant. She keeps Hendricks focused and handles all of the details. Never seen without her ETY•COM headset, and always on the go, Bunny is a "hopper."
- Flagle – Flagle is Hu's old friend from school and means well, but somehow always gets it wrong. He works hard, and as the band's roadie, ticket-taker and sometimes- sound engineer is very much a part of the group. But, everyone who has ever met Flagle describes him as "trouble."

- What can parents do?
- -Parents choose gear for young children. Many parents understand the importance of limiting sound levels and exposure time, but most are unsure how to manage their kids' listening. While children are young, one thing parents can influence is the kind of earphones kids use with their portable players. Stock earbuds supplied with portable devices can produce damaging levels of sound.
- -The main reason listeners of all ages turn up the volume is to block out distracting background noise. ETY•Kids earphones seal the ears so volume levels stay safer. With an adequate seal plus the safe sound output of ETY•Kids earphones, parents are assured their kids are listening safely.
