Artist Partner Spotlight
BB Ears x BANZ®

Handmade sparkle sound protection for families who believe everyday essentials can still feel elevated, personal, and beautifully giftable.
BANZ® is proud to spotlight Shelly of BB Ears, a creative maker bringing a luxury-inspired, handcrafted take to sound protection for babies and young children.
BB Ears was created by Shelly, a music lover and new mom, with two priorities in mind: protecting her daughter’s hearing and doing it in style. That story is exactly why this collaboration makes sense. BANZ® has always believed hearing protection should be practical, wearable, and family-friendly, while Shelly adds a design-forward layer that makes each pair feel joyful, polished, giftable, and one-of-a-kind.

Luxury in the little everyday things
Some of the most-used family items are also the most photographed, packed, gifted, and remembered. BB Ears brings sparkle and boutique-level detail to a practical everyday essential, turning sound protection into something families are excited to use.
From concerts and sporting events to travel days, birthdays, brunches, city outings, and family celebrations, this partnership highlights a simple idea: protection can still feel special.
Elevated essentials
A functional item becomes a polished accessory families can coordinate, gift, and enjoy.
Gift-worthy sparkle
A thoughtful option for baby showers, birthdays, first concerts, travel, and standout family moments.
Artist-made
Shelly’s handcrafted designs make each pair feel personal instead of ordinary.
From the first sparkle moment to a full style category
One of the earliest standout moments in sparkle earmuffs came when River Rose, Kelly Clarkson’s daughter, was seen in crystal-embellished earmuffs — a moment that helped inspire an entire style-led category around hearing protection for little ones.
BANZ® is happy to partner with Shelly to continue highlighting the many ways hearing protection can fit into every lifestyle stage and fashion choice, from concerts and sporting events to premium gifting and camera-ready family moments.
Early sparkle inspiration
River Rose helped put sparkle earmuffs on the map as a memorable style moment for children’s hearing protection.
Monaco Grand Prix style
Tamara Ecclestone’s Monaco Grand Prix appearance with her daughter showed how hearing protection can feel polished, elevated, and camera-ready.
Premium family utility
These moments reinforce what we love most: hearing protection can be functional, giftable, premium-feeling, and beautifully integrated into a family’s style.
What BB Ears customers are saying
Customers love BB Ears for the same reason we do: they make a practical family essential feel stylish, thoughtful, and worth showing off.

How this partner spotlight works
BANZ® may provide or recommend select earmuff colors for BB Ears to use as the base for embellished designs. Shelly designs, embellishes, prices, photographs, sells, fulfills, and supports the finished BB Ears products. Finished embellished products are purchased directly from BB Ears, not from BANZ®.
Made for memorable noisy moments
BB Ears pieces are created for concerts, sporting events, celebrations, travel, city outings, and other noisy environments where little ones may need extra comfort and sound protection. No hearing protection product blocks all sound. Families should continue to monitor the child’s comfort, the sound level, the child’s proximity to the source of noise, and time spent in loud environments.
Important safety notes for families
Embellished children’s earmuffs should always be used thoughtfully and only under direct adult supervision.
- Use only under direct adult supervision.
- Inspect before every use. Do not use if any stones, embellishments, glue, padding, or parts appear loose, damaged, or missing.
- Keep away from the child’s mouth. Decorative embellishments may present a choking hazard if detached.
- These products are not toys and should not be used for chewing, teething, or play.
- Remove immediately if the child shows signs of discomfort, irritation, overheating, or distress.
- Follow all BB Ears product instructions, care instructions, age guidance, and safety warnings for the finished embellished product.
