Headphones

Headphones are an ideal way of blocking out unwanted noise and concentrating on the sounds coming out of the headphones. Background noise and distractions in the classroom significantly reduce a student’s ability to concentrate and therefore affects learning and productivity. Using headphones to listen to course material, teachers notes or an audio textbook helps students to improve focus and take a break from all the noise and chatter around them.

 

Headphones come in a number of sizes and types. Bluetooth headphones are ideal for students who would prefer not to stay in one place while wearing them. For example, if they are paired to a device that cannot be moved, Bluetooth headphones mean the user doesn’t have to stay with the device. The sound quality of Bluetooth headphones is also often very good making listening to music, audiobooks and lessons more enjoyable.

USB headphones are becoming more common with some modern smartphones requiring either a USB A or USB C headphone connection. USB headphones often combine a microphone and a headphone which is connected via a USB connector to a computer or other device. These headphones are also useful for teachers and school/college staff as they are commonly used for telephony via a computer. The computer can be turned into a fully fledged telephone, with many useful functions. Subjects such as computer game design are a common use for this style of headphone.
