Introducing the most technically sophisticated and durable headset ever manufactured by Califone. This Mac & PC compatible Titanium™ series stereo headset will help optimize differentiated learning experiences with breakthroughs in safety, performance, comfort and durability.
Headsets used in classrooms or libraries are constantly handled and worn throughout the school week. To keep it in top condition, the HPK-1050 (and HPK-1550 with Guaranteed for Life cord) is the first of its kind that can be completely immersed in soap and water (after its cord has been detached) for washing! Once cleaned and thoroughly dried, simply reconnect the body to its replaceable cord and the Titanium headset is ready for reuse.
The HPK-1050 (and HPK-1550 with Guaranteed for Life cord) helps students focus more effectively on the task at hand by blocking the highest amount of ambient (external) noise of any passive headset which Califone has ever offered. Its microphone is also noise-reducing.
School budgets can't afford equipment that won't last the entire year or cause lost learning time, and that's why the HPK-1050 (and HPK-1550 with Guaranteed for Life cord) is built using more rugged ABS plastic (even its cord is thicker than previous models). But longer lasting doesn't automatically mean student comfort, which is why the ear cushions have also been upgraded to be just as long lasting, but feel softer without the accumulated clammy feeling which can come after prolonged use.

“My Kindergarten students use the 2964AV headset with computers and listening centers to hear language used by good, strong language models. They are especially helpful for my second language learners.” Gretchen Donais Kindergarten Teacher Mueller Charter School Chula Vista, CA
A: Like some of our other models, these too come with replaceable cords. Any part number beginning with HPC-xxxx, refers to just the cord by itself. Similarly any headphone or headset body in this series has a part number that begins with HPE-xxxx. Either could be ordered by itself as a replacement, but to buy a "complete" Titanium headphone or headset use a part number HPK-xxxx (this package includes the cord AND the headphone body.)
A: No. Each of the Titanium™ headsets (HPK1010, HPK1030, and HPK1050) have an in-line control that has an on/off/mute button for the boom microphone and a volume control for the headphone earcups.
A: When the adjustable headband of the 2924series, HPK series, and 3066 series is fully extended, the length from the headband to the center of the earcups is 6.5 inches. The adjustable headband makes these headphones and headbands suitable for adults too.
A: 1) A small flat blade from a screwdriver works best (small enough to fit inside the hole on the earcup) 2) It helps to push the cord in just a little bit at first so the latching part of the plastic can become unlatched and easier to pull out 3) The cord needs to be pulled straight out – not at an angle 4) You need to simultaneously push straight down into the “hole” on the cup of the headphone or headset while gently pulling the cord out
