Concerts, sporting occasions, gala’s, open-air markets, airports, metro and bus stations… Large crowds have a tendency to collect in all these locations and the noise generated within the atmosphere could be particularly annoying for minors provided that their ears are extra delicate than these of an grownup.

How to ensure your security? In this regard, there are headphones or helmets designed particularly for kids that provide listening to safety and that, within the case of noisy areas, are attention-grabbing as a result of they’re able to decreasing this noise between 25 and 30 decibels.

How we’ve got chosen and examined the merchandise

The merchandise chosen for this comparability, which have related traits, are particularly aimed toward minors and have been designed to be used in environments the place the noise degree could be very excessive.

The exams have been carried out in several eventualities corresponding to a soccer match, the Barajas T4 terminal, a marriage corridor with a disco space the place practically 200 folks gathered, a kids's ball park the place 4 birthdays have been celebrated on the identical time…

To take a look at every of those fashions I’ve had the collaboration of my daughter Daniela, who’s 12 years previous, my nephew Raúl, who’s 10, and two of my cousins' kids who’re youthful (Camila, 8, and Lucía, 6).

When analyzing and evaluating them, these are the elements that I’ve taken under consideration:

• Design: from the viewpoint of helmet manufacturing, supplies and seam finishes.
• Ergonomics: This criterion is said to the consolation of use, whether or not the pads that cowl the ears are comfy and whether or not the scarf attachment feels nice and doesn’t exert annoying strain; particularly pondering if they will be used for a very long time
• Adaptation system: All fashions incorporate an adaptation system that makes it straightforward for the headphones to adapt to kids of various ages. What is this technique like? Is it sensible and simple to deal with?
• Usage expertise: if each actually fulfills its perform and manages to attenuate the sound of the atmosphere.

Very compact

For whom it’s: targeted on households who want listening to safety headphones from 3 years previous.

Why we’ve got chosen it: Although not one of the fashions within the comparability handle to fully isolate environmental noise, it is without doubt one of the ones that finest reduces it, as I’ve been in a position to confirm within the exams carried out. They are available in a field that isn’t too huge and while you open it you discover that the headphones are in a closed plastic bag.

Since they’re folded, the very first thing you notice is that on this place they take up little or no house; The second factor I observed was that the system to open them and repair the scarf to the suitable dimension of the top, though it isn’t difficult to govern, requires some power as a result of it feels exhausting.

Its ergonomics appear proper to me and each the padding of the scarf and the earmuffs don’t penalize the consumer expertise. Among the supplies utilized in its manufacture are synthetic leather-based and foam. The little ones have totally different variations to select from: design with unicorns or dinosaurs, orange, pink, blue, pink…

Its weak factors: a number of the seams on the scarf have been somewhat frayed.

Variety of colours

For whom it’s: for households on the lookout for a mannequin that stands out for its ergonomics and manufacturing high quality.

Why we’ve got chosen it: The very first thing that caught my consideration is that they arrive with a journey bag, an adjunct that I discover helpful as a result of it would enable us to retailer them and have them situated each time we have to use them.

In hand they really feel comfy and the standard of their supplies shouldn’t be dangerous in any respect, so if we maintain them as we must always we assure their sturdiness: the scarf is fabricated from mesh cloth and the padding of the earmuffs combines polyurethane leather-based and PVC.

These headphones for concert events (and different noisy areas) can boast glorious ergonomics, to allow them to be used repeatedly for a very long time. I used to be stunned at how mushy the earmuffs are and the way nicely they match.

In addition, the quantity of froth padding for the scarf padding is greater than sufficient to launch strain on the top and make kids really feel tremendous comfy.

Regarding their listening to safety perform, these Muffy Kids 2.0 from Alpine attenuate environmental noises fairly nicely and youngsters do discover the distinction between sporting them or not. To do that, the headphones incorporate a double foam layer that minimizes surrounding noise.

Its weak factors: The headband adjustment system (this mannequin is appropriate for kids between 5 and 16 years previous) has not given me sufficient safety. You have to regulate the rods on each the suitable and left rigorously as a result of it appears like they might break.

With personal utility

For whom it’s: If you’re on the lookout for listening to safety helmets on your baby with extra worth, it’s a mannequin to contemplate.

Why we’ve got chosen them: I discover it curious that they’ve their very own utility for Android and iOS gadgets. It known as Schallwerk and its perform is to inform the extent of noise round us and the way lengthy the ear can endure it with out being broken or affected. It does this by analyzing and displaying the worth it information in actual time in a matter of seconds.

The app, straightforward to make use of, works appropriately and likewise means that you can examine this sound degree whether or not you’re sporting them or not; In this fashion we guarantee in the event that they fulfill their perform. Are they efficient? The exams I’ve carried out present that these Schallwerk Kiddies are able to attenuating the noises round us fairly nicely.

Regarding their manufacturing high quality, they’re headphones that present a great end whereas the plastic of the construction and the fabric that imitates leather-based don’t look dangerous; Therefore, if we need to use it intensively we won’t have any issues.

I additionally actually appreciated its ergonomics, particularly as a result of the padding on the scarf could be very mushy. Like the remainder of the fashions, there are totally different variations to select from: inexperienced, darkish blue, turquoise, pink…

Its weak factors: The headband adjustment system doesn’t all the time work nicely as a result of it generally will get caught.

Travel bag included

For whom it’s: households on the lookout for a sensible, useful mannequin with a daring design.

Why we’ve got chosen it: The first contact with these headphones for concert events and different bustling areas was constructive. They are usually not excessively heavy, the manufacturing supplies look appropriate, the within of the scarf has been strengthened, the pads that cowl the ears and imitate leather-based are mushy and padded… However, with respect to the remainder of the helmets, their Ergonomics haven’t been as anticipated.

During the primary minutes, the headphones are comfy, however with intensive use this consolation begins to lower; particularly within the head space the place you are feeling strain that in some instances turns into annoying and forces you to take them off and put them again on a number of occasions.

On the opposite hand, its adjustable design has been resolved very nicely and I discover it essentially the most comfy and sensible of all: it isn’t essential to exert an excessive amount of power and it by no means will get caught.

Its weak factors: The ergonomics might be improved and though it attenuates exterior noise, the remainder of the headphones do it higher.
