We’ve been ordering Demco headphones.
And I recently got a quote for 600 headphones that brought down the price to roughly $6.50 each.
I like the coiled cord because then students don’t get tangled in the cord (especially the younger students).
The earcups are wipe-able.
Occasionally I get a complaint that these are too large for the primary children – but that is only occasionally.
In the end, I feel like we are always ordering headphones – there’s never enough.
But these are as durable as they come. Yes, they sometimes break, but where you have students you will find a broken set of headphones where you won’t understand how in the heck the headphones got broken.

These are the headphones we ordered for testing. We've used them for about a year. So far, so good. Also, they're easy to clean.

Hi,
My district needs to purchase headsets that will be used primarily for testing purposes, K-12. I am looking for recommendations for any that have worked well for you. Have you found that it is more cost effective
to purchase more heavy-duty ones that have an extended life expectancy, or cheap single use ones? Do you use a different model for elementary than for secondary?
Thank you!
