Kids BANZ Earmuffs review

Kids BANZ earmuffs are the step up from the baby model and share its NRR 26 dB rating, which BANZ says is independently tested. That is the highest US rating among the kids earmuffs here. The size starts at 2 years, so it fits the toddler and preschool years that some kids earmuffs skip. The shell is plastic, the headband is reinforced with metal, and the foam-cushioned cups wipe clean. BANZ lists concerts, fireworks, sports, travel and school events as intended uses and says the earmuffs fold for travel. The range comes in solid colors and prints at the same price, and a matching case is sold separately. Compared with Alpine Muffy Kids, it gives you a US NRR label and a younger starting age for $5 more, but it publishes less technical detail: there is no weight or frequency table on the product page. For a 2 to 4 year old heading to a loud event, it is one of the safest bets here.

Who it is for

Older toddlers and kids who need strong protection at concerts, fireworks and sports.
