What's the best ANR Headset?

Does anyone have any opinions on what are the best ANR headsets to buy? Especially for use by my young grand kids. It has to be stereo and light.

I currently use the Bose Aviation Headset X (fantastic when they work) but they are abysmally fragile. Can't buy it with coiled cables hence they regularly get accidentally ripped out of the aircraft panel connector and it costs several hundred dollars to replace the cable and control module - can't just buy the one inch plug for the wall. Also, the ear cushion falls apart after 100 hours of use. There's also a silly design fault that allows the whole earcup to be twisted 360 degrees thereby damaging the wires.

Thanks.
