We’re honored that BANZ® Baby Earmuffs were selected as The Bump Editor’s Pick for “Best Baby Headphones for Sleeping” in 2025. But we also know something most parents don’t: not all baby earmuff brands on the list meet the standards they claim.

🚨 False Claims and Misleading Ratings

Many competing products—including popular names like Mumba and Alpine—claim to offer high Noise Reduction Ratings (NRR), but there’s a major problem:

• 🔍 No official test results available to the public.
• ❌ Many use **lab-inflated or entirely unverified ratings.**
• 🧪 Some knockoff brands offer **no testing whatsoever.**

Alpine Hearing Protection, for instance, is not affiliated with Alpine Audio (a common confusion). Yet, their marketing and name often mislead parents into thinking their baby earmuffs are backed by a premium electronics company—they’re not.

✔️ The BANZ® Difference: Transparent, Tested, Trusted

• 📄 Independently tested and certified: All BANZ® Baby Earmuffs are tested to meet rigorous ANSI and EU standards.

• 🧸 Designed for tiny ears: With soft padding, proper clamping force, and baby-safe materials, comfort and safety go hand-in-hand.

We believe in protecting children—not just from loud sounds, but from misleading marketing. That’s why we’ve always published our lab results and backed our products with over 15 years of global trust.

🏆 Award-Winning, But That’s Not Enough

We’re proud of the award, but we know the real measure of quality is what happens after you buy. Unlike brands that vanish after the sale, BANZ® is here to support your family—whether it’s answering questions, offering replacement parts, or innovating to protect kids in every adventure.

So if you’re comparing your options based on The Bump's list, dig deeper. Look beyond the logo. Ask for testing records. Ask what NRR really means. Then come back to BANZ®.
