Califone 2964AV Deluxe Mono Headset

Deluxe mono (monaural) headset with two 1/4“ plugs

The Deluxe Monaural Headset comes with two nickel-plated ¼” plugs that are used with card readers. These plugs are not compatible with Windows or Mac. The “around-the-ear” headset comes equipped with replaceable and washable leatherette ear pads wrapped in ABS plastic that feature ambient noise-reducing technology.  This diminishes exterior sound, so that the user doesn’t have to turn up the volume to high levels.  The volume controls are even set on the ear pads. The headstrap is adjustable and manufactured with “comfort fit” straps.  The omnidirectional electret stereo boom microphone is composed of dynamic mylar and comes equipped with a built-in wind screen.  The slotted baffles prevent students from tampering with the speakers, preventing accidental puncture. The high-quality speakers only have a distortion percentage of 5%. This is one of the reasons why educators use the Deluxe Monoaural Headset as the standard headphone for card readers. Because of its noise-reducing earcups, it allows the card reading students to focus on speech therapies, ELL, ELD and other language learning applications.
