Andrea School Headset EDU-255M

Andrea School Headset with Mic
The first of the Andrea series headsets to see is the EDU-255M on-ear stereo school headset. This model works on many computers, but this is designed particularly for mobile devices.

The EDU-255M uses a noise-canceling microphone with an internal windscreen setup all around. The microphone takes in sound well and resists ambient noises and breathing sounds, thus keeping everything read by the unit crisp and clear.

The leatherette ear cushions produce a comfortable surface for the user. The cushions can reduce many outside noises too, thus allowing the listener to stay focused on what is being said through the headset.

The adjustable headband makes it easier for the headset to fit and adjust to each of the students head. This helps allow for the perfect, comfortable fit.

An eight-foot cable is included with a four-pin 3.5mm plug featured on the end. The single plug fits well in most newer devices, including the MacBook and iPhone among many other portable devices.

The TRRS setup on the plug ensures the microphone and headset features work on the same plug without having to use a second port. The wire also has an in-line volume control feature.

As for the technical considerations, the 40mm speakers on the inside of the headset produce a better sound response. These speakers have a deep bass setup that delivers audio quite well!

Andrea School Headset EDU-455M

The EDU-455M is the second option for you to check out as you look for a quality over-ear headset. This is another option for use on desktop and mobile items alike, as it also comes with a TRRS standard 3.5mm single plug for your use on many computers and mobile devices.

The headset comes with 40mm speakers just like the 255M comes with. The excellent audio quality will impress students and teachers. The larger over-the-ear earcups are made of a leatherette material, all of which greatly reduces outside noise, allowing students to stay focused at the task at hand. They are also larger cushions for increased comfort and they can easily be washed.

The microphone comes with an internal windscreen. You can move the microphone up and down on the headset depending on whether it is needed or not. Fortunately, the microphone only takes in the most noticeable noises that someone intentionally produces.

The dual headband on this headset is a noteworthy feature to spot. The design is adjustable to fit anyone’s head. The opening on the headband allows for a good fit to allow air to move around, thus keeping the user from feeling hot or overheated while using the headset.

An in-line volume control feature is found on the main wire. The control helps to establish a better experience in hearing things without having to adjust the volume setting directly on the computer screen. This is a vital feature for use when you consider how well the volume control setting works for managing content in any situation.

Which Solution is Best For You?

Both of these Andrea Communications headphones are useful for student use. The EDU-255M is helpful for when you need something a little smaller in size, but the EDU-455M may work well for heavy duty needs when the thicker and larger pads are considered. But the features Andrea series school headsets are ideal for computers and mobile device.
