Our multipurpose Infrared Headphone can be used for monaural language-based activities or with the flip of a switch, also for stereo computer-based programs. The wireless headphone receives the audio signal not only our two media players equipped with a built-in infrared transmitter (Infrared Music Maker Plus boombox, the Infrared Cassette Player), but also from a classroom computer (Mac or Windows compatible) with a connected USB transmitter and extender (sold separately).
The headphone has an adjustable headband with ambient noise-reducing earcups to help block out external distractions and keep students on task.
There is no limit to the number of listeners so long as they're within the 20' transmission range with a clear line of sight between the headphone and transmitter.
Additional headphones can be purchased for group learning activities without the need for a second transmitter (HIR-TX1).

A: Although the 2395IR is a stereo media player, its transmitting signal with the HIR-HP1 is mono. When using the HIR-HP1 with the 2395IR, the stereo/mono switch on the HIR-HP1 should be set to mono.
A: The HIR-HP1 headphone is compatible with both Mac and PC computers. Simply acquire the Infrared Transmitter (HIR-TX1) to plug into your computer’s USB port, then set the stereo/mono switch on all your HIR-HP1 headphones to stereo to begin using them with the computer. Only one Infrared Transmitter is required per computer.
A: There is no preset limitation on the number of Infrared Stereo/Mono Headphones that can be used with the Infrared Music Maker Plus. The infrared signal transmission range from the dual IR diodes on the Infrared Music Maker Plus is 15’ line of sight; it will transmit clear audio to any number of Infrared Headphones that are within this range.
A: No. A single USB transmitter can accommodate any number of HIR-HP1 wireless infrared stereo/mono headphones so long as the headphones are within a 20’ transmission range from the transmitter.
A: To prevent interference, be sure to have the two USB transmitters face different directions and set up the two groups of Infrared Stereo/Mono Headphone users at a minimum of 20’ apart.
