Compatibility and connection

The MDR-EX110AP uses a 4-pole 3.5 mm headset plug for combined audio and microphone. It works with most devices that support a single headset jack, including many Chromebooks, tablets, and laptops. For desktop PCs with separate headphone and mic ports, a headset splitter is needed. For USB-C-only devices, a USB-C to 3.5 mm headset adapter may be required if permitted by district IT.

Best use cases

• Language learning and ELL programs using speech-recording apps
• Virtual or hybrid classrooms with video conferencing
• Assessments requiring listen-and-respond audio
• Everyday classroom listening with occasional mic use

Classroom notes

• One-button remote: Typically handles play/pause and call functions; exact behavior varies by device/OS. Android users may access extra controls via Sony’s Smart Key app where supported. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
