Some microbes live from 20 minutes to two hours, which as every family with school-aged children knows can greatly affect attendance at school and work. To protect students against the growth of a broad range of bacteria, mold and mildew, Califone International, Inc., has revolutionized classroom technology by incorporating an antimicrobial compound to create the next generation of Monaural and Switchable Stereo/Mono headphones.

Created by AgION, a leading provider of engineered antimicrobial solutions, the compound is actually built into the headphones, not topically applied after manufacturing, is student safe and is the first of its kind to be used within audio-assisted products. As the premier manufacturer of high-quality audio-visual technology for education and professional use, Califone is introducing two headphones using the antimicrobial technology: the Anti-Microbial Switchable Stereo/Mono Headphone and the Anti-Microbial Deluxe Monaural Headphone.

The Stereo/Mono Headphone is ideal for both monaural language applications and stereo needs, with individual volume control and an adjustable, padded headband. The Deluxe Headphone is the company’s most rugged headphone and the most popular choice for ESL/ELL applications. Holding up to frequent student use in language labs and classroom media centers, this headphone also comes with slotted baffles that prevent accidental perforation of the internal speaker and has replaceable foam-filled ear cushions.

Both headphones are made with durable ABS plastic and include ambient noise-reducing earcups to keep students on task. Most importantly, these cutting-edge headphones incorporate a self-cleaning outer shell that protects students and maintains optimal performance for years.

Each model comes with the unique Califone warranty, which includes coverage for school, library and government use, typically not available for products purchased from consumer electronics stores. A complete listing of Califone products is available at CCV Software.
