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 believe that the onboard volume limiter is the most important as it helps to prevent ear damage from any intentional or accidental increase in volume to a level that is too high for the child.

  2. My niece does the same thing – listens to an audio book while following along with a physical book. It’s improved her reading immensely!

  3. Volume limit control would be the best feature to me, it prevents damage to the kids’ hearing. Thank you

  4. Definitely the noise canceling feature to allow them to focus on their stuff better, and volume limiting

  5. The best feature is the ability to have noise canceling to better seal info into the children’s heads or ears with less distraction.

  6. What I appreciate most out of all is the volume limiting feature. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about blaring audio affecting their kid’s hearing. It will also warn us if they are having hearing problems.

  7. Budget friendly for our 3 grandsons who use headphones on a regular basis for leisure and on line schooling. Headphones can get very expensive for kids who use them for multiple activities!

  8. I have 2 of 3 kiddos home doing virtual school and reading the article the 30 hours of battery life (approx 1 week) which essentially is a week of school is HUGE! I had no idea the batteries lasted that long !

    • I like that the kids headphone has a volume limiter because kids might accidentally turn up the volume which can ruin their ear drums. Protecting their hearing is a must.

  9. I have to say that the volume control is one of the most important features for me….it’s all in the sound.

  10. Volume limit is the most important feature – we need to preserve their delicate little ears 🙂

  11. Microphone for being able to connect with friends they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see. Making the world a little smaller and friendlier.

  12. I love being able to control the volume limit is the best feature because it will protect my little’s hearing!

  13. Their control system is simple and easy to use, with essential controls like play/pause and volume control. No frustration!

  14. 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. Cheap to replace.

  15. Their control system is simple and easy to use, with essential controls like play/pause and volume control. No hurting our child’s hearing.

  16. They are designed to be small, lightweight, and feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing – ever mindful of preventing to trauma to our children’.

  17. Adjustable headbands and padded ear cushions allow your kids to listen in comfort. They will focus better if comfortable.

  18. designed to be small, lightweight, and feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing – ever mindful of our children’s health needs.

  19. Headphones, therefore, also improve the absorption of learning material—enhancing the focus of a child to help them remember that material – more of an impact from what they hear.

  20. Headphones help block out the external noise and make kids focus only on the sounds coming out of the headphones. less distractions with home work
