Headphones are must-haves in today's classrooms

Today's classroom is a busy place, no matter the grade level. Even seasoned teachers are competing for students' attention more than ever before. Technology has its role to play in the modern classroom, and headphones fit the bill like nothing else. Portable, affordable, and fun to use, headphones can connect students and teachers to classroom materials in a way few devices can. And they're versatile for all kinds of practical applications, including:

  • Listening centers

  • Language labs

  • Computer labs and Esports centers

  • Watching videos in media centers

  • Cafeterias or loud areas

  • Events and field trips

Great learning spaces for student headphones

Whether you're introducing new vocabulary words, teaching critical thinking skills, encouraging students to read, or just wanting to improve student engagement, high-quality headphones are an excellent choice for any setting. From classrooms to libraries, study halls to computer labs, headphones can help to create dedicated listening spaces for student learning.

The ideal listening space accommodates several students who are able to use tape recorders, CD players, or tablets. Students may share content or listen to content of their own. Reading along with the narrator becomes simplified when a hard copy of student content is available with headphones. Audiobooks, with their premium sound effects and more, get even better with high-quality headphones.

K-12 listening centers support all students with the potential for improved reading comprehension. Students who need a little extra attention will benefit from the dedicated space. High-quality headphones also make it easy to augment established lesson plans with read-ahead curriculum, easy access to additional works by a designated author, and ways in which to learn about various writing styles. Even students who need help with reading fluency will find that headphones paired with listening spaces make all-important modeling accessible. Whether it's read-aloud capabilities, the spoken word English to reinforce pronunciation, or user-friendly and fun practice for all students, Egghead headphones combined with a dedicated listening space, large or small, is a winning combination to consider.

The right classroom headphones can improve student outcomes

See how science backs the claim that high-quality headphones and headsets can support key learning improvements and overall student outcomes.

  • Health.com discovered that noise-canceling headphones could significantly improve the attention span of students with ADHD within the classroom setting.

  • ERIC Department of Education learned that noise-canceling headphones during testing, for students with spectrum profiles helped to increase test scores and reduce the levels of testing stress and anxiety than students not using headphones.

  • NIH shared evidence that study participants using noise-canceling headphones reported being more relaxed.

  • Another study found that students using noise-canceling headphones during classroom lectures had an average recall rate of 85%.

What features to look for when you buy classroom headphones

Choosing the right headphones is an important part of classroom learning success. Consider these headphone features as you explore the many styles and types of headsets available.

  • Look for headphones that are specifically designed for school testing.

  • Comfort is a priority, so look for adjustability as well as padded ear cushions that also reduce distractions such as ambient noise.

  • Tangle-free fabric cords are a plus, and so are USB ports included with the headphones.

  • Storage bags can help students identify their assigned headphones with ease and protect equipment at the same time.

  • Some headphones are designed for active, younger children, are easy to clean, and are made to withstand heavy use.

  • Still, other headphones come equipped with pivoting mics, and you will find that some headphones can be folded to save on space.

  • Despite any manufacturer's best efforts to produce quality headphones, damage can happen. Look for great warranty coverage and easy claims processes with any brand or bulk order you place.

  • Replacement parts, like headset cushions, adapters, and plugs, should also be available.
