I bought those headphones for my 3y old as we had a 16 hours flight to survive... they didn't help at all, they fit well and are really cute, you can change volume on them directly so your kid can do it himself and size is adjustable, it fitted me too very well and I think they would be great for home use, but then we don't use headphones at home...the problem we had is that airplanes are noisy, and you know how some headphone have a noise-reduction technology? well, those one have the noise-amplifier one, even if you listen to nothing but put them on your ears in a noisy environment, the noise gets 5 times worse, so that, plus trying to listen to something, it's just a shortcut for a headache...I'm very sad they didn't work out for plane travel because they're comfy and so cute...
