There is a place for headphones. It does not make a lot of noise, but will make a noise when detecting something.

Honestly I'd have to say the sound is kind of annoying if you hear it over & over but it only makes a noise when they find something. The volume isn't adjustable & I don't think there is a spot to plug headphones in. We have 2 & people are more interested in what our boys find than how annoying the noise is lol hope this helps :)

It's loud enough in a quiet room. I use it on the loudest setting for my daughter while I'm in the shower. Anything louder than a shower running, you may need headphones.

Not sure, my children were only allowed to use headphones with them on our trip. Overall they performed quite well.

No problem with 7 year old. I think would work for 2 year old but not 100% sure. My 13 and 15 year olds use them. The ear piece pushes up pretty far.

It isnt that loud. It depends on how light of sleepers your kids are. Wouldnt bother my daughter, but would wake my son.

Yes. Quality and volume are good. This is used by my 4 year old so quality is relative. I do have to tell him to turn it down while I am driving . The unit is pretty light as well

I believe so. The volume is controlled by the computer not the headphones. But keep in mind they may not stay put on a 2 yr olds head.

No, it doesn't make any noise, my daughter takes it to school and she Haven't mentioned about making any noise.I hope my answer will answer your concern

There are a couple buttons you have to press initially to turn on the units and synch them. After that, you both just talk, just like you were on cell phones. The unit is lightweight, fits over your ears, and adjusts, so it should work fine for a 10-12 yr old child or an adult. We love ours!

Well, the thing needs kind of a gentle touch, so the ages that would tend to toss it around, bang it, you know, that kind of thing, aren't good for it. I use it for picking out tunes (with one hand - can't do two) and that sort of thing. It's really kind of a fancy toy, not really a "real" musical instrument (unlike my flute -- which I also use to pick out tunes, but only when housemates won't complain about the noise - can't put headphones on it :) ). I'm edging up towards my (ahem) "golden" years, so, with the warnings given above, it's good for that age group, too.

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

I have these for my almost 3 year old daughter. I purchased them for the purpose of watching movies in the car. However I had my 11 year old try them on and she said that due to the padding around the ears they do block out some noise while listening to music or media. I'm not comfortable saying they are noise canceling. I will say they are fantastic headphones for toddlers.

It doesn't appear to, but I have used it on planes. I can't get either of my preschoolers to deal with headphones in any event. The sound has two settings and even the higher one is quiet enough that it is barely audible a seat away. Most fellow passengers are glad enough that my kids are not screaming, like the ones five rows up, that I've never had comments.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.

It's actually not too loud. I use it for my toddler so he knows when we are transitioning to new activities. I have a baby and she can sleep through it entirely. It's not obnoxious loud and it is not too quiet either. My mother in law uses this for her class and she loves it.

You have to play music at a high volume for others close around you to hear it. The headphone has little sound leakage, but if others around you can hear music well, you are probably listening at a level unsafe for yourself. When I let my grandson use them, I did not hear sounds. Hope this helps
