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 love the fact that we can control the volume limit for sure! We just got back from a long driving trip with our 5 yr old grandson who lives with us half time and would love a pair like these! (I also love that they fit their little heads!)

  2. Couple of things. 1. Ergonomic fit: The headphones shouldn’t be pushing too hard on the child’s ears. 2. Volume limits: Too high volume will damage the kids hearing.

  3. I’m going to say volume control as well. I know my children can’t seem to understand that louder isn’t always better

  4. I think having headphones to help kids focus is the best feature especially when it comes to online school at home!

  5. the onboard volume limiter is a great idea for the grandkids to help prevent hearing loss if used frequently at max volume pumping out tunes.

  6. The Noise cancelling feature would be so valuable for at home learning to prevent distraction and maintain focus.

  7. I like that they are light weight. They have to take so much to school everyday, their backpacks get really heavy.

  8. The feature I like most is that they are adjustable for the head. Both my kids have different size heads so it’s useful.

  9. The online volume limiter is the best because i remember my childhood and how I’d like to crank headphones. Children need to have too much sound limited. Great feature.

  10. Volume limiting is so important, but i also love that \they limit external noise to facilitate on line learning.

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

  12. Their ability to reduce external distracting noise is important to me. I know one has to learn to block out noise but for children today there are so many distractions, that the head phones can be a good learning tool to increase concentration.
