This Listening First Stereo Headphone is specifically built for young students with safety as its first concern. Rugged ABS plastic earcups withstand daily use with slotted earcup baffles to prevent accidental damage from prying fingers or foreign objects. The volume control is set from the audio source (not on the headphone or cord) for student safety. It is ideal for classroom story-time, library, and computer uses.
