headphones for childrenThe popularity of kids’ headphones has soared in recent years! Children use headphones for many of the same activities as adults, including for learning. Some learn through practice, some learn by looking at pictures, and others learn by listening. This is especially true since the pandemic began: young listeners need good headphones for remote schooling, video chats with relatives, and for enjoying music and Netflix shows. In this contest, Best Buy is giving away KIDdesigns over-ear noise cancelling kids headphones and Belkin SoundForm Mini on-ear Bluetooth kids headphones.

Headphones help kids focus and pay attention

With their curious minds and endless energy, kids can easily get distracted by the environment they’re learning in. Headphones help block out the external noise and make kids focus only on the sounds coming out of the headphones. My six-year-old niece uses headphones during reading time in the class. It helps her listen to an audio book (with accompanying images or video) that her teacher prepared. Thus, helping her focus on the story as it’s being told.

Headphones, therefore, also improve the absorption of learning material—enhancing the focus of a child to help them remember that material. Later during tests, a pair of good kids’ headphones can once again help the child to recall the information they need to perform well by reducing external distracting noises.

Bring out their inner superstar with character graphics headphones 

Most kids’ headphones are designed to be small, lightweight, and feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing. The headphones we are offering in this contest all have those features. Their control system is simple and easy to use, with essential controls like play/pause and volume control. The volume limiting feature allows you to adjust the volume for safe levels of listening and works with any audio device. Adjustable headbands and padded ear cushions allow your kids to listen in comfort. Lastly, one very important feature of kids’ headphones is that they are budget friendly: after all, a child might be taking them to school or daycare or to a friend’s house and invariably they may get misplaced, dropped, or damaged in transit.

We sent the Belkin and KIDdesigns headphones to our blogger, Shelly, to test and share honest feedback. Check out her review article to learn more about these headphones.

The KIDdesigns over-year noise cancelling headphones that we’re giving away in this contest come in several bright and fun colour schemes and feature favourite characters to appeal to children.

  1. I like that it’s lightweight, and the of feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing

  2. Headphones help block out the external noise and make kids focus only on the sounds coming out of the headphones

  3. onboard volume limiter is the most important! The noise cancelling will also help them hear better at the lower volume

  4. I love that there is a volume cap. My daughter tends to turn everything up and i’m always reminding her to turn it down. Headphones definitely help her focus better.

  5. The volume limiting feature allows you to adjust the volume for safe levels of listening’ Protect their hearing!

  6. The volume limiting feature allows you to adjust the volume for safe levels of listening’ Protect their hearing!

  7. The volume limiting feature allows you to adjust the volume for safe levels of listening’ Protect their hearing!

  8. The volume limiting feature allows you to adjust the volume for safe levels of listening’ Protect their hearing!

  9. The features of kids’ headphones discussed above I believe is the most important is the onboard volume limiter because it’s important to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing. Kids don’t know that being exposed to high/loud volumes for prolonged periods will damage their hearing.

  10. Volume limiting would be the key for me here. I have a little girl and it’s really hard to find good headphones for her.

  11. volume limiting feature allows you to adjust the volume for safe levels of listening and works with any audio device

  12. I would have to say being able to reduce outside noises is really important and beneficial. Limiting the volume is excellent because my kid often listens to music way too loud lol Kids get distracted so easy. The headphones allow them to focus and concentrate, which allows better outcomes in school work and reading.

  13. For sure the volume limiting feature to protect my kids ears. Also, they need to be comfy or they will not continue to wear them, and this will become an issue when they use them for learning.

  14. Volume limiting is great because the noice cancellation means my kids can’t hear me telling them to turn their music down!

  15. The padded ear cushions and easy controls will make wearing headphones comfortable and easy to use for my little ones.

    • The volume limiter for sure is one of the best features. Kids don’t know how loud to go so if it’s limited to a kids maximum than you can’t go wrong by leaving them alone to choose what’s best for them
