Most headphones in this category meet the PARCC and Common Core testing headphone requirements.

As a quick rule of thumb, monaural headphones are ideal for listening to single source recordings such as content for language learning and development (ELL/ELD) activities, speech pathology, and lesson videos.

Stereo headphones are ideal for educational gaming, online learning, music appreciation classes and 21st century learning using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

It is important to know if the audio source is a mono or stereo player as well, since plugging a stereo headphone into a mono source, will result in sound only coming from one of the two earcups.

Finally,

Add an inexpensive #AvidEducation #FISHBONE adapter and prevent pin breakage in your computer device whilst using headphones!
