Kensington 97603 Circumaural Headphones

The Kensington 97603 is a circumaural headset with 40mm drivers that deliver high-quality stereo sound and deep bass. A noise-cancelling boom microphone filters ambient noise for clear speech during calls or lessons. The 6-foot cord provides ample reach for desktop setups, and the headset works with Windows, Mac and Chromebook devices.

Students and remote workers needing all-day comfort

The adjustable padded headband, rotating 270-degree boom mic and leatherette-wrapped foam ear pads are built for extended wear in learning or office environments. The 94dB safe listening limit protects younger users from excessive volume. Buyers who require wireless freedom or active noise cancellation on the earcups should consider other designs.

40mm drivers with 94dB volume limit

The 40mm driver units produce a wide dynamic range for music, video and voice applications. A built-in limiter caps output at 94dB to help prevent hearing damage during long sessions. This single specification defines whether the headset matches your audio quality and safety requirements.
