Skullcandy’s Grom Wireless Kids Headphones Are a Steal At Just $21

Looking for a pair of headphones for a young child? The Grom Wireless, one of our top picks for best kids headphones, are currently 40% off.

Skullcandy’s new $100 Method 360 ANC earbuds, which feature Sound by Bose and are essentially a budget version of Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, have recently been getting a lot of attention thanks to their value. However, I just noticed another Skullcandy deal worth highlighting. The Grom Wireless «kids» headphones, that are on CNET’s list of best headphones for kids, are down to $21 on Amazon. That’s 40% off the list price of $35.

I tested Skullcandy’s Grom Wireless over-ear headphones last year (and had my younger daughter try them). Targeted at the 12-and-under set, they have basically everything you’d want in a kids’ headphone, including a comfortable fit, decent enough sound, a volume limiter, a shared headphone port and a wired option in case you need it. Battery life is rated at 45 hours, which is also pretty good.

This headphone also comes in a wired-only version in white and blue that’s currently discounted to $15. I think stepping up to the wireless version for $6 more is a better option, but both models are among the more stylish kids headphones available and worth checking out if you’re in the market for a set of headphones for a younger child.

While it’s true that most headphones work just fine for kids, when you’re looking for headphones for children, especially very young ones, you tend to look for more compact models that don’t cost too much. Additionally, some folks want headphones that have a volume limiter to protect their child’s hearing. Yes, you can also set volume restrictions in the settings of a smartphone or tablet, but not everybody wants to fiddle with those settings.

Rideable Horse Robot Viral Video: The Real Story Behind It

Kawasaki’s Corleo robot horse is just a concept right now, but a thrilling hype video makes it look like a blast to ride.

If you’ve ever watched a video featuring a Boston Dynamics Spot robot dog and wanted to saddle it up and ride it, then Kawasaki has a concept robot that’ll make your heart flutter — and it’s part horse, part leopard, part robot and all wild. Too bad you can’t actually buy one.

The Kawasaki Corleo is a four-legged rideable robot, the answer to the question: «What if we put legs on an all-terrain vehicle instead of wheels?» Kawasaki released a video showing what the concept would look like if it were fully realized.

The trippy video features the Corleo and riders galloping through a forest, running across a field, leaping over rocky terrain and trotting across a snowy landscape. The video appears to be primarily computer generated with Lord of the Rings-worthy scenery.

Kawasaki is known for its motorcycles and ATVs, but the international company has its hands in everything from railcars to industrial equipment and robotics.

Kawasaki unveiled the forward-thinking Corleo for the Osaka Expo 2025 in Japan. It’s a 2050 concept model for a future mode of transportation. The expo’s theme is «designing future society for our lives.» The event officially opens on April 13.

Corleo incorporates some nifty design ideas, including independent legs, a hydrogen engine and steering through weight shifting.

«While preserving the joy of riding, the vehicle continually monitors the rider’s movements to achieve a reassuring sense of unity between human and machine,» Kawasaki said.

Kawasaki didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on its plans for Corleo.

For now, Corleo is just a model capable of limited movement, so your sci-fi dreams of riding across rugged mountains on a kick-butt robo-steed will have to be put on hold. Perhaps 2050 will bring us a world full of leggy, rideable robots. Somehow, that feels more achievable than a bunch of flying cars.
