Student headphones are quickly becoming a must-have accessory within classrooms. Technology is growing and is a part of everyday classroom routines. Headphones allow students to use a device for activities such as listening to an audiobook or watching an educational video, without disrupting the rest of the class. They are a great addition to centers or station work. A comfortable and snug fit is important to make sure that educational time is not being wasted and to ensure students can fully hear the audio.

How to Choose the Best Headphones for Your Students?
Before purchasing your student headphones, consider the following:
- Student age - This determines the size of the headphones you’ll purchase. For younger students, smaller, adjustable headphones are the best option.
- With vs without a microphone - Depending on the activities and the age of the students. Microphones can be a distraction if they are not being used.
- Corded vs cordless - Corded headphones easily and quickly connect to devices. Cordless require Bluetooth or a frequency connector.
- Compatibility with tech - Make sure that the headphones are able to be used with your devices, such as iPads and laptops. Either with the cord or cordless.
- Over-ear vs on-ear - Over-ear headphones block out some noise, while on-ear headphones usually do not. Sometimes it is also a preference of which type is more comfortable for your students.
With the growing amount of technology in the classroom, student headphones are a must-purchase item for teachers. Trust our high-quality products from Today’s Classroom when browsing for new student headphones for your class.
