Selected by the readers of District Administration, the Listening First Stereo Headphones from Califone International, Inc., were included on the magazine’s 2007-2008 list of Top 100 Products.
In each issue of District Administration, editors present the products, books and materials that they believe are important to their readers, which previously turned into a list of top products at the end of the year. For the 2007-08 Top 100 Products list, editors wanted their readers to choose the products that made the list as they know from firsthand experience how products work in the classroom. Based on user ratings and comments, the magazine released the Readers’ Choice Top 100 K-12 Products of 2007-08, and the Listening First Stereo Headphones from Califone were among the best.
Ideal for primary grades and special needs students, the Listening First Stereo Headphones offer developmentally appropriate equipment in vibrant, engaging colors and themes. The headphones are made with rugged ABS plastic in three colors – blue, red and yellow. In addition, the Listening First Stereo Headphones also are available in animal themes – bear, panda or tiger. Providing clear sound at levels safe for a child’s eardrums, the headphones are high-quality additions to any classroom learning center, children’s library reading corner or language lab.
Through the successful Our America: Tuned In Today… But Tuned Out Tomorrow? campaign (www.listentoyourbuds.org), the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recommends three guidelines to help students use audio technology responsibly: lower the volume, limit listening time and upgrade to ambient-noise-reducing headphones. Supporting ASHA and its campaign, Califone designed the Listening First Stereo Headphones to have appropriately sized, ambient-noise-reducing earcups to ensure safe use as students acquire listening, literacy and language skills.
The Listening First Stereo Headphones come with the one-year Califone warranty, which includes coverage for school, library and government use, typically not available for products purchased from consumer electronics stores.
