Baby BANZ earmuffs carry an NRR of 26 dB, the highest US rating among the baby models here, which makes them a strong choice if you plan to sit near the launch site at a fireworks show or in the upper deck of a loud stadium. BANZ, which says it has designed carewear for kids since 2001, sizes this model for babies from 0 to 2 and lists sport events, concerts, fireworks, parades, travel and stroller walks as intended uses. The ear cups use foam padding with a faux leather cover that wipes clean with a damp cloth, the shell is ABS plastic, and the materials are BPA-free. The headband adjusts and the earmuffs fold for travel. BANZ sells a matching case separately and publishes a fit guide. The product page does not list a weight or a frequency-by-frequency attenuation table, so it is harder to compare in detail than Alpine. Babies outgrow it at about 2, when the Kids BANZ model takes over.
