Noise-cancelling headphones for autistic son
Hi,
I want to get my son some noise-cancelling headphones but don't want to break the bank, mostly because I'm not sure how long they'll survive.
My son has autism and is very sensitive to noise. For a long time we've always just used ear earmuffs/hearing protectors. Well now he watches his ipad and stuff so he needs to hear.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I think ear covering ones would work best (so the entire ear is covered). I think we'd prefer wireless as well. The noise canceling is way more important than the quality of the sound. Anything around $100 or so would work. I've tried my friends QC35s, but I don't think it would be a good idea to let him carry those around at that cost.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks,
Joe

I bought qc35ii in March and bose really does great at noise canceling.
For $100 budget this article mentioned the best-valued Monoprice Hi-Fi Active Noise-Canceling Headphone. FYI: https://www.lifewire.com/best-noise-...phones-4049122

TaoTronics Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones, Over Ear Wireless Headset, Dual 40 mm Drivers with Powerful Bass:
$65 regular price, $43 with code KINJAB21. I don't know how long the discount runs. I have not tried them, but they get good reviews on Amazon.
