Califone 3068MT Switchable Stereo / Mono Headset

The Califone 3068AV is considered the benchmark headphone by schools and districts for language learning because of its sound quality, durability, and performance at an economical price to stretch budgets. The 3068 series now includes an optional steel-encased boom microphone for active learning.

Both offer teachers ways to utilize a blended learning approach that mixes face-to-face instruction time with personal digital learning. Ideal for use with listening centers and in libraries, the 3068 gives maximum flexibility so K-12 students can participate in ELL/ELD activities and 21st century learning on computers and all mobile devices such as Chromebooks, smartphones and tablets.

The 3068 helps students better stay on task by muffling external distractions with its circumaural (literally meaning around the ears) ambient noise-reducing earcups. Its padded headband is comfortable enough for extended wearing and is fully adjustable for optimal weight distribution and balance.

The 3068AV headphone features individual volume controls on each earcup while the stereo only headset versions (with added boom microphone) offer inline volume control. The 3068MUSB headset adds inline mic on/off and mute operation as well.
