School Headsets with Microphones for Classrooms (2026 Guide)
Now that the new year has arrived and spring is around the corner, it’s an excellent time to consider new school headsets with microphones for interactive learning activities on computers and mobile devices. The right classroom headset should work with your existing district technology, deliver clear audio for students, and include a microphone that performs well in real‑world classroom conditions.
Below you’ll find a vendor‑neutral, educator‑friendly overview of popular options for Chromebooks, laptops, tablets, testing labs, language learning, and hybrid classrooms. We highlight a range of solutions to fit different budgets and instructional needs — and we carry many more beyond this list.
Compatibility Basics: TRRS, USB & USB‑C

| Device Type | Common Audio Port | Best Headset Match |
|---|---|---|
| Chromebooks / Many laptops | 3.5mm TRRS (single combo jack) | TRRS school headsets / earbuds with mic |
| Desktop computer labs | USB‑A | USB classroom headsets |
| Newer Chromebooks / tablets | USB‑C | USB‑C headsets (no adapter needed) |
