Voxblock

Voxblock Review

We’ve had a fantastic family review of the Voxblock here at Parents News. The first reaction was clear: “This is brilliant!” Families who love reading to their children see this as a perfect addition to their routine.

The mum reviewing it shared fond memories of listening to stories on tapes during long car journeys. Voxblock brings that nostalgic magic back—only now it’s screen-free, easy to use, and perfect for kids from toddlers to teens.

Why Voxblock makes a great gift

It is an audiobook player that requires no set-up or Wi-Fi. There are hundreds of tangible audiobooks available. Children simply insert the audiobook, press play, and dive into an adventure. This simplicity, and long battery life, makes it a fuss-free Christmas gift for families looking to reduce screen time.

Designed in Scotland by parents Rebecca and Tom for their own young children, now a popular choice for families. It enhances literacy while offering a sustainable and engaging way for children to enjoy books.

What’s included?

The Voxblock Gift Pack retails at £59.99, which includes the Player, an audiobook, a charging cable, and a case. Additional audiobooks start from as little as £5.99, making it an affordable option for growing a child’s audiobook collection.

  • Hearing a story gives a learning reader a better understanding of pronunciation and tone
  • Struggling, less advanced or less confident readers will be able to access a wider range of stories
