How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a clip-on earmuff built around the way babies actually wear things—no pressure on the forehead or the back of the head—choose funbliss Baby Ear Protection; if you need a wider age window, a lower weight, and a headband fit that folds flat into a case, choose PLANTURECO Baby Headphones.
• funbliss Baby Ear Protection — biggest strength: the clip-on design deliberately avoids pressure on the forehead and the back of the head, which is exactly where most babies fight a headband.
• funbliss Baby Ear Protection — biggest trade-off: it's aimed at a narrower age range (3–36 months) and it's the heavier of the two at 6.4 ounces.
• PLANTURECO Baby Headphones — biggest strength: a classic adjustable headband plus a stated age range that stretches further, from 0 to 36 months in the title and 3–48 months in the fit description, at just 4.8 ounces.
• PLANTURECO Baby Headphones — biggest trade-off: it's a headband design, so a baby who dislikes pressure across the head has more to grab and pull off.
• Who each pick is for: funbliss for the baby who instantly yanks headbands off; PLANTURECO for the family who wants a longer usable lifespan, a lighter fit, and a foldable travel case.
The whole personality of this product is in one design decision. Funbliss states plainly that most babies dislike the feeling of restraint on their forehead and the back of the head, so they pull earmuffs off before they've done their job. The answer here is a clip-on design that applies no pressure to the head circumference. That's not a cosmetic detail—it's the difference between earmuffs that stay on during a long flight and earmuffs that end up in your lap by hour two.
On the protection side, funbliss rates these at 25dB noise reduction, which is the same NRR figure PLANTURECO quotes. The ear cushions use what the brand describes as professional noise-cancelling sponges, and the shell material is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene—a hard, rigid plastic that's typical for this category. The fit is adjustable and the construction is described as lightweight, so it grows with your child from infancy into the toddler years.
PLANTURECO Baby Headphones: Who It's For
PLANTURECO takes the traditional route and does it well: an adjustable headband with ultra-soft ear cushions, a lightweight build, and reinforced joints meant to survive daily use. It carries the same 25dB NRR rating as the funbliss, so on raw noise reduction these two are effectively in the same conversation—the difference is in how they attach to your kid.
The age story is the interesting part. The title says 0 to 36 months, while the fit description says 3–48 months. That's a wider bracket than funbliss in both directions, and it's the reason I'd point larger families here: one pair plausibly covers a newborn and then keeps working well into the toddler years. It also weighs 4.8 ounces, which is meaningfully lighter than the funbliss.
Materials are described as baby-safe and breathable, and the color is pink. It's also listed as Imported and the material field simply reads rubber—thin detail, but worth knowing if you're comparing shells. The foldable design comes with a carrying case, so it packs flat in a diaper bag. The scenarios listed are broad: air travel including takeoff and landing, concerts, fireworks, construction sites, household noise, and sensory-sensitive situations.
Where it gives ground: it's a headband. If your baby is the type to rip things off their head on principle—and plenty are—the funbliss clip-on concept exists precisely because of that behavior. That's the honest trade-off here.
• Best for a baby who pulls headbands off → funbliss Baby Ear Protection. The clip-on design applies no pressure to the head circumference.
• Best for the widest age range → PLANTURECO Baby Headphones. Stated 0–36 months in the title and 3–48 months in the fit description, versus funbliss's 3–36 months.
• Best for the lightest carry → PLANTURECO Baby Headphones at 4.8 ounces versus 6.4 ounces for funbliss.
• Best for travel convenience → PLANTURECO Baby Headphones, thanks to the foldable design and included carrying case. Funbliss also includes a storage bag with its foldable build, so this one is close.
• Best for airplane takeoff and landing specifically → PLANTURECO Baby Headphones, which explicitly names cabin pressure changes as a use case.
• Best for sensory-sensitive or everyday noise → either. Both are rated at 25dB NRR, and both list household noise, events and travel as intended scenarios.
• Best for easy cleaning → PLANTURECO Baby Headphones. Funbliss is hand wash only; no such restriction is stated for PLANTURECO.
• Best for durability-minded buyers → PLANTURECO Baby Headphones on paper, given the reinforced joints and breathable-material claims.
If I were buying for my own family, I'd take the PLANTURECO Baby Headphones. The wider age window, the lighter 4.8-ounce build, the foldable design with a case, and the reinforced-joint durability angle make it the more versatile object to own across a couple of years. Same 25dB rating as the funbliss, so I'm not giving up protection. That said, if your baby is a headband escape artist, the funbliss clip-on design is the smarter buy—and honestly, that's the single most useful feature in this whole comparison.

FAQ
Both are rated at 25dB noise reduction. On that spec they're equivalent, so the choice comes down to fit style, weight and age range rather than how much sound they block.
Funbliss designed it specifically because babies dislike pressure on the forehead and back of the head. In my opinion it's the smarter pick for a baby who pulls things off, though it carries the narrower age range and higher 6.4-ounce weight.
PLANTURECO explicitly names takeoff and landing and cabin pressure changes. Funbliss names flights, outings, concerts, sporting events and fireworks. Both are intended for exactly this kind of travel.
