Noise Canceling Headphones Help

[AckermanPartyof6]

Hi Everyone,

We are headed on our first trip in July and need to buy some noise canceling headphones for our two sons, one has autism and the other has been diagnosed with sensory development disorder ( which I suspect will also result in an autism diagnosis later)

We have never bought a set, but know we need them for shows and some attractions. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

We bought a pair at walmart in the sporting goods section. They are made by Winchester and are for shooting, but my son uses them for fireworks or loud places. He can still hear us talk, but it help with the loud sounds. They where only about 15 dollars as well.

Actually you don't want noise canceling headphones, you want sound isolating headphones. Noise canceling headphones only cancel out constant sound, like an airplane drone. They don't block loud noises, like fireworks, people talking or a baby crying.

You need headphones like this:

I bought the Peltor Kids ones for my DD. They are reasonably priced and very comfortable. I got them in pink from Amazon, but here's a link to the blue version:
