How do these earphones compare to the Leap Frog ear phones? Can the kids hear the music in the car while playing on their game pads?Noise reduction?

I have not used the Leap Frog, so I cannot compare. They are not noise reduction. My 4 y/o can hear me just fine if he is using his w/ his ipad.

I have never used the Leap Frog ear phones, but my son wears his while we watch TV in the same room and doesn't seem to have any issues with hearing through them.

Not sure how the leap frog brand works becauser i never had one, but i can assure you that these headphones will work just fine in the ar while playing on their games pads. it has an outlet thats considered normal and plugs into any play back music device.

Without music, they just kind of muffle the sound, but with music they work pretty good. I use them in class a lot to block out the chit-chat and mouse clicking and other nonsense. They also do well with not letting sound escape, so don't worry too much about turning them up a little extra.

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)

I have little ears so the ipod earbuds never fit in my ears. To add to this, my ear canals are different sizes. I have had good luck with the Skullcandy brand (approx $22). They come with 3 different ear pieces so you can customize your fit. They are also pretty noise-canceling, but not to the point where you can't hear what's going on around you (if you are biking or running). Also, some versions come with a volume control on the cord, so you don't have to fiddle around with the dial.

Hi John, u clearly can save ur money because you get punchyer bass out of much cheaper earphones. This one is great in hearing the details, it feels like the iPod is connected to the brain directly "Super great details and presence" but overall is not the best comfort hearing solution and money wise is big waste if not used

Absolutely not... That was my only complaint with them though. I just purchased a set of Turtle Beach X12s that have decent noise cancelling. I had a set of Sound Blaster 3d Alphas that also did a fairly good job of noise cancelling. In this price range those other two choices are probably your best bet.Edit: None of the aforementioned sets have active noise cancelling. I am speaking strictly of their ability to block out background noise with minimal volume. For instance right now I am softly listening to music on the Turtle Beach x12s and I can't hear my roomate's rather loud and annoying girlfriend sitting right behind me. Absolutely not...

I bought these for my granddaughter, but I have personally used the headset several times with all sorts of background noise present. Although I have not used them on a plane yet, I have never had any problem hearing the soundtrack over other background noise. They are quite well made and you get good quality sound. They have also taken a lot of abuse in the car without breaking. Make sure the volume is not too loud before putting them on a small child.

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

They seem to work really well on my daughter most of the day. Would come off sometimes in late afternoon. They did not work for her friend. They fell off within 2 hours. They only thing I can think of is maybe some kids touch their ears more than others?? Sorry!

I had the same problem with (much, MUCH more expensive) Sennheiser CX400 earbuds - it was awful. I could hear my *hair*, who wants to listen to their hair? Unfortunately, i'm pretty sure all earbuds that have the sound isolation via making full contact between the rubbery part that sits in your ear, and your ear canal itself, are going to conduct some cord noise. No matter what, the cord must be attached in a way that is so integral to the construction that conductivity is a matter of physics. I find these significantly less objectionable than the Sennheisers, in fact I'm not bothered at all (maybe I got used to it?) But with the sound at a decent volume it's hardly noticeable. I really like these (I saw this post when I came looking to buy another pair or two in different colors). So I tried an experiment, on your behalf -- I put the earbuds in my ears, then draped the cord around the back of my neck. I then simulated moving around (hey, I wasn't about to get up off the couch :) by taking the remaining free part of the cord and whipping it around. Not bad, not bad at all. At the resulting length, you'd need to carry your music player approximately at your waist, and with that wrapping strategy it will minimize the cord hitting against things. Bottom line, at the price (plus, doesn't Amazon give you five bucks of free mp3s if you buy them? they did my last pair), go for it, they're better than Sennheisers at three or four times as much money, so ... what the heck, right?

Hi Joe, In terms of sound quality there are pretty much the same. If you using the Etymotic in plane/train or outdoors then the quality suffers alittle. These are not noise canceling or noise softening. But as far as comfort. I prefer the Etymotic.

The earphones that come with it do suck. Mine lasted two weeks before I replaced them with some Sony in-ear buds. Not only are they more comfortable, but they tend to block out ambient noises.

It squeeks- yes they will hear you and they will mostly likely be annoyed. I use my ipod when jumping so I don't hear it. If you want a quiet one, go with the bellicon. It's quiet but a bit more pricy.

I'm not sure about the noise reduction. They do have a nice loud sound to them. The calls are very clear over the headset. I don't really use mine a lot for calls cause I have to use my phone to speak, I have my own ear piece for that. Normally I use mine when exercising and I use my Note 2 to play music or a self help video or audio. For the price I think they are a good deal. I would recommend them.

No they don't. You have to control the volume with the device that you plug the headphone into. The headphone's sound is pretty good, I usually set the volume low and my son (5yo) fixes it if needed.

I'm not able to answer your question. I've only used the earphone on my IPOD. On the IPOD, they work very well but I can't say how they'd work on other devices.

Do you mean can you hear announcements? I'm not sure I know what you mean. They work like any headphones - if they are up loud (though these don't go super loud so your kid doesn't blow out an ear drum) they won't hear anything. My son likes to wear them at home and I need to yell at him if I want him to hear me while he has them on and is concentrating on what he's watching.
