Compatibility and connection

Best use cases

• Everyday classroom listening (videos, lessons, apps)
• Literacy and reading programs with audio support
• Small-group work where compact earbuds are preferred
• Testing or practice sessions where a low-profile earbud helps reduce distractions

Classroom notes

• No microphone: This model is listening-only. If students need to record speech or join video calls, choose a headset/earbud with mic.
• In-ear style: Great for portability and low cost, but districts may prefer over-ear models for durability in heavy shared-use settings.
• Fit options included: Comes with multiple silicone tip sizes (S/M/L) for better student comfort and seal.
