Classroom USB headset for language learning

The Califone 1017MT is a wired stereo headset built for general-purpose classroom use with mobile devices. It supports 1:1 learning, assessment testing and library applications where clear voice reproduction matters. The over-the-head design fits students during extended sessions.

Unidirectional inline microphone isolates

A unidirectional inline microphone captures the wearer's verbal response while rejecting neighbouring voices. This makes the headset suitable for language learning and computer labs where individual recording clarity is required. Audio playback is calibrated to enhance the tonal range of the human voice.

Braided CaliTuff cord resists chewing and cutting

The 6 ft USB cable uses a braided, PVC-jacketed CaliTuff construction that resists chewing and cutting. A reinforced earcup entry point guards against stress separation. Hygienic packaging in a heavy gauge zip lock bag isolates head lice and provides storage when not in use.

Questions about this item

How does the 32 ohm impedance affect volume when plugged into a laptop USB port?

The 32 ohm impedance is low enough that a standard laptop USB port can drive the headset to comfortable classroom volume without an external amplifier.

What does the USB connector limit in terms of audio channels and microphone quality?

The USB connector carries stereo output and a single unidirectional microphone channel, so you get two-channel audio and voice capture but no surround sound or multi-mic arrays.

Will the 6 ft cord and over-the-head band fit a typical primary-school desk setup?

The 6 ft cable reaches from a floor tower or side USB port to a child's seat, and the adjustable over-the-head band fits small to adult heads for classroom use.
