Has anyone used these earphones with a baby younger than 2? We are flying cross country with a 5.5mo old and would like to purchase some headphones.

are you just looking for noise blockers? Check this link, many of these are available on Amazon: http://www.friendshipcircle.org/blog/2012/03/21/8-headphones-for-children-with-autism-and-auditory-processing-disorder/ We are happy with Kidz Gear and even bought a replacement when our son chewed the cable, but will not recommend it for a baby. The wireless version might be okay.

I have. Their size is a little tough for long flights, as they slip around on the ear a bit, making it tough to sleep. The sound quality is fine, though. I've never really believed that true Noise-cancelling was all that necessary as long as you have good coverage in an over-ear set.

I bought these for my granddaughter, but I have personally used the headset several times with all sorts of background noise present. Although I have not used them on a plane yet, I have never had any problem hearing the soundtrack over other background noise. They are quite well made and you get good quality sound. They have also taken a lot of abuse in the car without breaking. Make sure the volume is not too loud before putting them on a small child.

Give it a shot. Buy some kids headphones so the volume won't go too high. I was surprised when my kids were able to use them at 4 and 2.

Hey bud, so the earphones are originally and honestly are really amazing. I lost mine after 2 weeks. Very clumsy like that. But sorry, won't be able to answer warranty questions. But earphones are totally worth it. If you have the $$$ ofcourse!

They are terrible for airplane use. I suggest the cheapest noise cancelling headphones you can find for this purpose. My kids could barely hear using an iphone playing a movie on a plane.

My children have used these on planes and had no complaints. But these are not noise cancellling headphones.

I don't think that these would be good for a small child. You really have to adjust the position of them in your ear. My ears are not hot and uncomfortable when I use these, but I have no idea if they "breathe".

My twins (17 months) love this music set, but I haven't let them play with the xylophone yet. I don't really see how they could get cut with it though. I think you just need to use your judgement about what's age appropriate. The xylophone is a nicer one and I think they'll really enjoy it when they're around 2. For now, a cheaper/more baby friendly one that we purchased is good enough.

I'll raise my hand here as well, I've also been through three pairs with the same issue and also love these earphones. Shure have been fantastic in replacing them for free under warranty. Sadly my most recent pair were lost on a flight, tempted to order these again but would love a pair that doesn't lose sound in one ear and stay in the ear when exercising. Any suggestions?

I think mine was almost two when we tried headphones for the first time. It took a minute, but worked out great. It'll be fine. You have Baby Einstein or Gigglebellies? Those are two of our faves.

My kids are 8 and 11 and these headphones are on the bigger side so I would recommend looking for something smaller. They are great quality though. :)

I bought mine many months ago and they still work. I have learned to be gentle with earphones, because I really got tired of having to continually buy new ones. Just don't be rough and they should last a while.

I have these for my almost 3 year old daughter. I purchased them for the purpose of watching movies in the car. However I had my 11 year old try them on and she said that due to the padding around the ears they do block out some noise while listening to music or media. I'm not comfortable saying they are noise canceling. I will say they are fantastic headphones for toddlers.

They are very comfortable. They can be used by my 3 yr old, myself and my husband (they adjust in size well). They work like any regular headphones - no restriction on what will play on them but they have a setting for parents and kids for the volume control. Light is not bright and yes they go over the ear. All in all I really like these headphones even for myself :) Hope that helps.

These are very loud. You will be able to hear what your child is listening to, even a few feet away. The same brand makes headphones that do have child volume limiting, but they are not cordless

The 18 month old would have to have a pretty large head. These fit my 4 year old but look oversized (my wife and I can wear them too). The issue with these on a plane is the ambient noise is so loud, it can drown out the volume of these headphones since they are limited for child safety. I probably would not recommend them for a child that little due to size and I don't recommend them on a plane because the volume won't go loud enough to hear over the plane engines, etc.
