CLASSROOM TESTED

We asked teachers what their top problems are with headsets and headphones in their classrooms. We solve them all.

Headset Comparison

1. Chewing

“Not only is it frustrating for teachers, but it’s dangerous for the kids!”

Cyber Acoustics headsets feature tangle-free, ultra-durable braided TuffCords that can withstand even the toughest chewers.

2. Broken Plugs

“It can cost over $100 to get a broken plug out of a Chromebook.”

Cyber Acoustics 3.5mm headset plugs are reinforced with a steel rod for extra durability.

3. Earcup Stitching

“The kids pull at them, and they just fall apart.”

Cyber Acoustics easy-to-clean leatherette earpads are double stitched internally for improved durability.

Two children, a girl and a boy, appear to be playing tug-of-war with headphones in a classroom. They look excited and are smiling.

4. Broken Headbands

“The headband cracks and breaks.”

Our headbands are designed for thousands of stress cycles. For use in the most demanding classrooms, our AC-4000, 5000, and 6000 series headphones and headsets can be rolled up, twisted, and bent completely backward without breaking or failing...Even when pitted against the strongest of students.

5. Difficult to Clean

“The headsets get sticky and are difficult to clean.”

All of our education-based headsets and headphones come with simple-care, long-lasting, easy-to-clean leatherette cushions.

We are Windows, Mac, & Chromebook compatible and work with your platform of choice

Our recycling program for wired headsets and headphones helps keep plastics and metals from ending up in landfills. Schools can send wired headphones and headsets from any brand directly to Cyber Acoustics, where we reprocess them responsibly.

“While our headset recycling program is open to everyone, it was specially designed for schools and educational institutions that often have large quantities of unused products and no easy way to recycle them responsibly. We hope to ease some of this burden on schools by offering a no-cost way to dispose of products that are no longer needed.”

Steve Erickson, COO at Cyber Acoustics
