By Philippe Hogue • Last updated on Feb 12, 2025

Welcome to Bandou™! We’re excited to help you get the most out of your new headphones, designed especially for kids. In this guide, we'll walk you through the first steps to set up, use, and care for your Bandou™ headphones.

1. First Things First: Charge Your Bandou™

Before you begin, it’s important to give your Bandou™ headphones a full charge using the provided cable.

  • Locate the Charging Port: You’ll find the charging port at the back of the headband, near the elastic, on the same side as the control module. Gently pull it out of the fabric.

  • Connect the Charger: Use the provided USB cable and plug the small end into the charging port.

  • Plug into a Power Source: Connect the other end of the USB cable to a power source, like a computer or wall charger.

  • Charge for 1h30-2h: A red LED light indicates charging. Once it turns blue, your headphones are fully charged and ready to go—providing up to 35 hours of listening time!

2. Aligning the Speakers for Optimal Sound

The very next important step is to properly align the speakers with your child's ears. This ensures the best sound experience since the headphones have a 90 dBA sound limit for safety. Misaligned speakers may cause the sound to be too quiet.

  • Position the Headband: Place the Bandou™ headphones on your child's head and gently pull the band down to cover their ears.

  • Mark the Speaker Location: Use a small piece of tape to mark where the speakers naturally rest over your child’s ears.

  • Access the Speaker: After marking, remove the headband. The opening to access the speakers is on the same side as the control module.

  • Adjust and Center the Speakers: Reach inside the headband, adjust the speakers, and center them where you marked with the tape. This ensures they are positioned directly over the ears.

  • Secure the Speakers: Press the fabric around the speakers to hold them securely in place.

By taking the time to align the speakers, your child will enjoy clear, balanced sound while keeping their hearing protected.

3. Pairing with Bluetooth

Now that your Bandou™ headphones are ready to go, it's time to pair them using the bluetooth feature.

  • Press and Hold the Play Button: Hold it for about 4 seconds until you see the LED flash red and blue, signaling it's ready to pair.

  • Go to Bluetooth Settings: On your phone or tablet, find "Bandou Headband – [Character's Name]" and select it. Once connected, you’re all set!

  • If the pairing fails, simply click "forget this device" in your Bluetooth settings and try again.

If you don't want to use the bluetooth feature, you can use our provided 3.5mm jack aux cable that comes with every pair of headphones.

4. Washing the Bandou™ Headband

We know kids can get things messy, so Bandou™ is designed to be washable.

  • Remove the Speakers: Pull the speakers out from the slot at the back of the headband. All the electronics are connected, so you won’t lose any parts.

  • Protect the Headband: Place the headband in a laundry bag or pillowcase.

  • Wash on Gentle Cycle: Use cold water and mild detergent on a gentle cycle.

  • Air Dry: Reshape the headband if needed and let it air dry flat, away from direct sunlight.

  • Reinsert the Speakers: Once dry, simply insert the speakers back into the headband, and you’re ready for the next adventure!
