Buy the Bose QuietComfort Headphones.
One of these is a serious daily headphone, the other is a childproofed toy, and only one of them works for you.

- iClever HS19 Kids Headphones for School, Over-Ear for Toddler Boys Girls | SafeSound Tech,... — $52.99
Five reasons
1. Actual noise cancelling versus none
Bose runs real active noise cancellation with Quiet and Aware modes. The iClever HS19 is a wired kids headphone with zero ANC, just passive ear cups, so it does nothing against a plane engine or open office noise.
2. Wireless freedom the iClever can't offer
Bose gives you Bluetooth with up to 24 hours playtime, so you move around free of cables. The iClever is a 3.5mm wired design, meaning you're tethered to whatever device you plug into, fine for a tablet on a school desk, useless for a commute.
3. Audio built for music, not deliberately dulled
Bose has adjustable EQ and deep bass tuned for real listening. The iClever intentionally caps volume around 85dB to protect kids' ears, which is the right call for a child but means flat, capped sound if you're an adult trying to actually enjoy music.
4. A track record that runs years, not a childhood
Owner reports describe Bose QuietComfort units still going strong after six years with just a pad swap. Research on the iClever points to a 4-5 year functional life under normal kid use and shorter under rough handling, which is fine for a child's headphone but not a long-term daily driver.
5. Yes, it costs nearly 4x more. Buy it anyway.
The iClever is far cheaper and has a real edge for actual children, its volume limiting genuinely protects young ears. But that same limiting is exactly why it's the wrong buy for anyone else: you're not paying for adult sound quality or ANC, you're paying for a safety feature you don't need.
