Educational headphones take a beating daily—from fidgety students tugging on cables to accidental drops from desks. Simple maintenance ensures your SchoolPHONES® headsets stay in service longer, maintain hygiene standards, and sound their best.

Daily Wipe-Down

Regular hygiene is essential for shared educational equipment. A quick wipe with a disinfectant cloth or gentle cleaning solution keeps ear cushions clean and prevents the spread of germs. SchoolPHONES® foam cushions are specially sealed, lice-resistant, and designed for easy sanitizing, making daily cleaning a straightforward process.

Replaceable Ear Cushions

While durable, the ear cushions on SchoolPHONES® headsets are replaceable, allowing you to maintain both comfort and cleanliness throughout the school year. These high-density, open-cell foam pads provide excellent passive noise reduction, approximately 6dB, and are tough enough not to accidentally come off during regular use, yet easy enough to replace intentionally. Step-by-step video guides on replacing ear cushions are coming soon, making this maintenance task even easier.

As a bonus, for every 100 SchoolPHONES® headsets ordered, you’ll receive 20 free replacement ear cushions—ensuring you always have a fresh, hygienic supply on hand.

Recommended Storage and Sanitation

Proper storage significantly extends headset life and ensures hygiene standards. We advise that SchoolPHONES® headsets be stored in a dry, sterile plastic container, each within its own zip-locking bag. This method prevents contamination and preserves the headset’s integrity. Additionally, we recommend sanitizing headsets at least once a week, or immediately whenever a student becomes ill, to maintain a healthy classroom environment.

Cable Management

Encourage students to wrap cables loosely or hang headsets carefully after use to prevent kinks and damage. SchoolPHONES® headsets feature robust, nylon-reinforced cables designed to be chew-resistant, tangle-free, and highly durable. Regular reminders to avoid unnecessary tugging or stretching help extend the cable life and maintain sound quality.

Regular Inspections

Routine checks help identify potential issues early, ensuring the longevity of your investment:

• Ear Cushions: Inspect regularly for wear or tears. Replace cushions promptly if thinning or damage occurs to maintain comfort and effective noise isolation.
• Connectors and Cables: Check cables and connectors for any signs of looseness, bending, or damage, addressing these promptly to avoid interruptions in audio quality or further equipment issues.

Storage Solutions

Implement simple storage solutions such as hooks or cubbies where students can neatly place their headphones after use. Avoiding tangled piles helps prevent accidental damage and extends the lifespan of your equipment.

A little daily upkeep and attention to hygiene go a long way in keeping your classroom focused, healthy, and your SchoolPHONES® headsets performing at their best.
