Our Verdict

JBL JR300BT Wireless

Mpow CH6

The JBL JR300BT Wireless are more versatile kids headphones than the Mpow CH6. The JBL have a more comfortable fit, an easier to use control scheme, and a better-balanced sound profile. However, the JBL are Bluetooth-only headphones, which give the wired-only Mpow headphones an advantage in terms of audio latency and overall runtime. The Mpow are also more sturdily built and block out more ambient noise.
