Alpine Muffy Kids review

Alpine Muffy Kids covers the widest age span of any earmuff here, from 5 to 16, so a child who starts wearing it at a first fireworks show can still use it at a high school football game. Alpine rates it at 25 dB and backs that with a CE certification, ANSI testing and a full attenuation table on the product page, which shows the strongest reduction in the mid and high frequencies where most loud event noise sits. The headband adjusts and has a soft lining, the cups use several layers of foam, and the plastic outer shell wipes clean after a day outside. The earmuffs fold and come with a storage pouch, which helps when you are carrying snacks, tickets and jackets. Alpine names parties, parades, firework displays, concerts and motorsport events as intended uses. The limits are that it is too big for babies, and the SNR label needs care if you are used to comparing NRR numbers.
