Califone 4100-USB Stereo Headset (Discontinued)

The Califone 4100-USB Stereo Headset is the first school-focused headset to feature a USB plug. Its backwards-compatible USB 2.0 plug makes the 4100-USB Headset ideal for high speed internet use. It allows it to deliver a more balanced sound distribution with "plug and play" performance (meaning it is Windows and Mac compatible).

Students use the 4100-USB to create digital podcasts or recordings of their progress. This activity specifically supports the Common Core's Speaking & Listening standards.
The adjustable noise-cancelling boom microphone is a dependable choice for high-speed delivery of curriculum for ESL/ELL students, in gaming and for AP language classes, literacy functions and for testing to meet the ELA portion of the Common Core State Standards. It's used for distance learning & Skype conversations, computer & cloud-based tutorials requiring vocal responses in classrooms, libraries, computer labs and in mobile learning settings.

This state-of-the-art headset is as comfortable a model as you'll find with cushiony earpads and a comfort-sling headband to evenly distribute its weight, making it sought after for when a headset needs to be worn for extended periods of time.

Its noise-reducing earcups rest around, not in, the ears to provide maximum protection against ambient noise so students won't increase the volume to hear the content. Made from rugged ABS plastic, the earcups won't shatter (unlike materials used in consumer electronics items) into potentially dangerous shards and will withstand the rigors of daily use to help children remain focused on learning. The entry point of the cord into the earcup is reinforced and has in-line volume control for individual preferences. The 4100-USB also has an accessible in-line mute, mic on/off and volume control.
