The USB Headset is the first headset designed specifically for school use with USB connectivity. Its unidirectional mic and noise-reducing earcups are ideal for high speed internet use, tutorials, language learning and situations requiring isolated vocalized feedback.
Eliminates the need for a sound card, is Windows/Mac compatible with in-line mute/volume control
Backwards compatible USB 2.0 is faster for more efficient listening
ABS plastic earcups and headband for durability
Adjustable comfort sling fits all sizes
Flexible boom microphone for language applications
Reinforced strain relief connector won’t pull out
Around-ear ambient noise-reducing earcups deliver maximum protection against exterior sounds (without added electronic circuitry and expense). This reduces the need to increase the volume (protecting the ears) and helps keep students on task.
“Students are able to use the 4100-USB headsets to work on Read 180.” Sandra Hamer 6th/7th Reading/Language Arts Teacher Sherwood Middle School Memphis, TN
A: No. All of the USB headphones and headsets that Califone makes integrate the USB plug into the cord, not as an attachment. They are also "plug and play" compatible so there's no tedious pre-loading of software necessary.
A: There are no ¼” plug adapters available for Califone headsets. There are stereo headsets for use with computers that only come with either a 3.5mm plug or a USB plug. The 3064 and 3066 are available in both and the 4100 only as a USB headset. The 2964AV is a monaural headset for use with the Califone CardMaster™ that has two ¼” plugs.

A: The USB Headsets feature three LED lights on the In-line control as easy-to-see indicators for the users. The bigger LED light at the base of the In-line control indicates headset power on/off; the top small LED light signifies microphone on/off; and the small LED light in the middle flashes when data is transmitting.
A: Replacement windscreens for the boom microphone on the 4100-USB headsets are available. Please contact our Tech Support Dept for assistance. These headsets are also available in a 10-pack to avoid down time.
A: Yes. All of the Califone USB Headsets (3064-USB, 3066-USB, and 4100-USB) feature the in-line microphone on/off switch as well as the volume and mute controls.
A: The four buttons on the In-line control of our USB Headsets (3064-USB, 3066-USB, and 4100-USB) are for the following functions: microphone on/off switch, volume controls up and down, and mute.
A: You don’t need to load any drivers in your system to connect the 4100-USB to your Mac. All you need to do is to configure your settings for the mic to get recognized. Open “system preferences”, select “sound” and under the Audio section make sure that the driver C-media USB is selected for Input. Also double check that the headphone is recognized by selecting C-media USB for output.
A: The difference between a headphone and a headset is a headphone is used only for listening and a headset can be used for listening and capturing audio responses (used by many language/reading programs). Put another way, a headset is a headphone with a microphone attached to it.
