In a month, GaltSound is releasing its much-talked-about children’s headphones, SilenceX. In addition to excellent noise cancellation, crystal-clear sound and a comfortable fit, the headphones come with a brand-new — and perhaps unexpected — feature: swear-word reduction.

GaltSound believes the headphones will become a favourite among parents who want to spare their children’s ears from bad language.

Children, however, are not as enthusiastic.

“Everyone swears all the time,” eight-year-old Linus tells TTN, “even grandma. So I won’t hear anything. It’ll just be quiet.”
