Kibu are designed to be the only children’s headphones you can Build, Repair, Recycle. They come as a simple kit for you to build together – so if something goes wrong, you can repair them too, rather than throwing them away. Oh, and they're also extra safe for little ears with the Kibu Safety Engine which prevents the headphones from exceeding the safe, recommendation of 85db.

Created by technology and manufacturing company Batch.Works with award-winning industrial design and innovation consultancy Morrama. The Kibu Headphones are 3D printed from post-consumer waste and designed to be so simple to repair that children can do it themselves.

The Kibu headphones come as a kit that allows children with some help from parents to build their own pair, learning useful STEM skills in understanding how headphones work. They’re carefully designed to have no fiddly wires or screws and are completely safe for kids to build.

Whilst we’ve built the Kibu headphones robustly, we know children aren’t always careful and children’s products do get broken. So we’ve designed them to be as easy to repair as they were to build in the first place. If a part breaks, you only need to replace that single part.

Did you know that over 70% of our headphones components are made from a recycled material that comes from plants like corn!

If for some reason your headphones are at their end of life then you can send them back to us so that we can recycle the parts.
