Increasingly, educators rely on mobile learning devices to enrich curriculum lessons and engage student learning in and out of the classroom. To ensure safe listening and effective learning experiences with mobile devices, Califonenow offers a series of its most popular headsets with mobile learning capabilities. To Go™ headsets enable educators to extend proven audio technology to the latest tablets, smartphones and mobile devices, including iOS® and Android® devices.

Compatible with tablets, e-readers, gaming systems, smart phones and other mobile learning devices, the Califone headsets can be used for a wide range of instructional applications in which clear, crisp audio and product durability are critical, such as educational gaming across the curriculum and music applications.
Also used in flipped learning environments, the headsets allow students to hear recorded teacher instructions clearly for increased engagement and collaboration. And when used with devices which have recording capabilities, the To Go headsets enable student responses to be recorded and played back in call and response exercises for in language and literacy development, differentiated group learning, creating student-generated podcasts and even participating in a Google+ hangout.
