Not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1672084 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 04:17:07 +0000 erinpye 1672084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some for my toddler. I'm really bothered by people who have sound playing on their personal tablets/ phones/ laptops, even when super quiet, on planes, so I don't want to do that to others. I've also seen flight attendants require people to use headphones or play no audio at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1672073 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 02:47:24 +0000 erwoo 1672073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it only b/c we take really long flights (half way around the world kind) and my oldest will complain he can't hear the iPad if he doesn't have one. And then my youngest will want one when he sees that his big brother has one so now we have two. Your flights seems short enough not to need it, but if you're planning to go on longer flights later then, personally, I would get one now. Wouldn't hurt. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1672070 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 02:33:23 +0000 sarac 1672070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm one who lets their kid watch cartoons on the plane with the sound down low. Like, so low that sitting next to her, I almost couldn't hear it. I think that's fine, personally. I wouldn't buy a pair of toddler headphones. If someone asked me to kill the sound, I'd probably just turn it down lower. I feel ok about making less noise than I would just having a conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670897 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:46:27 +0000 brownie 1670897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they want sound at all they need headphones. I just did a plane ride with someone who let their kid watch shows without headphones. I was annoyed so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670895 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:42:46 +0000 Anagram 1670895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>agree with PPs that if you go without headphones, the sounds should be off or near off. I have also flown with nearby children (older than toddlers though) and their super loud electronic games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670862 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:11:30 +0000 yoursilverlining 1670862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't own a pair and don't intent to. I would think they would have to be turned up pretty loud to cancel out the plane's noise (unless you buy some fancy Bose ones or something!). LO has no issue watching movies on planes without any sound at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670833 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:43:13 +0000 chopsuey 1670833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we've flown a dozen times with the kids and don't own a pair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670829 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:37:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1670829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The toddler headphones weren't loud enough for her to really hear on the plane. I have seen some that are smaller but also loud like regular headphones. Either way I don't think she would have really used them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670811 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:22:52 +0000 MrsSCB 1670811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I would get the headphones unless she's ok with it on silent. Speaking from experience, I'm sensitive to noise and I've been on flights where parents clearly thought their kids' electronics were very low but I could still hear it and it drove me nuts :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670774 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:52:57 +0000 jmarionsmith 1670774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no because Row passed out both flights and even if he hadn't I know he would never would have worn them. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670767 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:46:57 +0000 bhbee 1670767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used ours. LO is happy to watch daniel tiger with basically no sound. She knows them by heart anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-headphones-worth-it#post-1670720 Sat, 31 May 2014 18:40:39 +0000 photojane 1670720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're flying to Mexico in a couple weeks, and I'm wondering whether we need to invest in some toddler headphones. I've seen a few posts on HB about which to get, but I'm wondering if they're even necessary. She won't use them unless we're traveling by plane, so I don't want to spend the money if I don't have to. Sadie will use my tablet to play games &amp; watch movies, but she's usually okay with the sound down pretty low. But, I also don't want to annoy anyone on the plane. One flight is 1.5 hrs, the other 2.5. Opinions? </p>
