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.

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. In a busy 2 bedroom apartment, its important that my little one has noise cancelling features in his headphones to lessen the ambient distractions.

  2. I like that they can block out the external noise so the kids can focus on what they are listening to better.

  3. The most important feature is the volume limiter as it helps to prevent damage to the young one’s ears!m

  4. volume limiter is key! but i also like the idea of audio books to help learn pronunciation when learning french.

  5. Noise cancelling is important so they can shut out what is going on around them and focus on what they need to learn

  6. I worry that my children are listening to things too loud. Having a limit on the volume is fantastic, gives me peace of mind

  7. I think the onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing is the most important because with out it, I think kids would just put the volume way out.

  8. I believe helping kids focus and pay attention is b so important as the mom of two daughters. The fact they are lightweight and comfortable is also important but helping to focus is so important today and my daughter needs to have headphones for a reading activity in school so the school also recognizes their importance.

  9. They provide high-quality audio while limiting the volume to protect sensitive ears from over-exposure to loud decibels.

  10. The volume limiter because I used to listen to my music way too loud and it is important to protect their hearing.

  11. Noise cancelling is the most important for my daughter. She has trouble focusing if there is too much activity around her. Sometimes she puts headphones on just to limit sounds around her (not to listen to anything through the headphones).

  12. Headphones help block out external noise and make kids focus only on the sounds coming out of the headphones. This is the most important feature.

  13. Most kids’ headphones are designed to be small, lightweight, and feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing.

  14. Headphones improve the absorption of learning material—enhancing the focus of a child to help them remember that material.

  16. Their control system is simple and easy to use, with essential controls like play/pause and volume control – no frustration

  17. Headphones help block out the external noise and make kids focus only on the sounds coming out of the headphones – better learning environment

  18. 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. Mom and dad can chill better over this fact

  20. Most kids’ headphones are designed to be small, lightweight, and feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing.

  21. I like “feature an onboard volume limiter to prevent young listeners from damaging their hearing” the best!

  22. I really like overall that they improve focus and concentration and g for these headphones I like that they have adjustable headbands and padded ear cushions. My child will only wear them if they are comfortable and this will allow better focus and concentration.

  23. Noise-cancelling cuts down considerably on distractions when the kids are at home at the same time as other family members.

  24. I think above all else, the noise cancelling or noise limitation function is the most important; it can allow the child to concentrate on reading, learning or just help them refocus their attention. But also for children on the spectrum or kids at louder functions and events, it can help calm and soothe and protect their sensitive ears. Thanks!

  25. Headphones help block out external noise and make kids focus only on the sounds coming out of the headaphones. That is the most important feature.

  26. Personally, I think the volume limiter is most important and I’m glad the control system is easy to use too. For kids like mine who are new to headphones it would definitely help.

  27. I love that these headphones help kids focus and pay attention. It’s so hard to get kids to focus on doing one thing and to keep from getting distributed.
