suitable Headphones for students

[genesis]

Hi

 

I want to buy 70 headphones for students to do their test, please suggest some good head phones that I can buy. Don't want it to be too bulky.

 

Thanks

We buy ours from poundland.

 

They're cheap, but do the job.

We bought ours from CPC when we needed 90 to do CAT tests (I can tell most of the students aren't a feline from just looking at them, but apparently we need a computer to tell us that!). They were only going to be used a handful of times so went for the cheapest possible. Worked well.

Another vote for the Hills Components headphones, got boxes of them here and not one complaint yet.

Another Hills vote.

We got hills ones but kids have pulled the red ear pads off, pulled the plastic rings out of them and pulled the black foam out the head phones. Some have resorted to pulling the main wire from jack to headphones which under enough force snaps the cable.

 

We have now decided not to replace ANY headphones, though if a machine hasnt got them, bring your own in, you might look after them better.

Any other suggestions apart from Hills ? They are out of stock till the end of Apr. Trying to use what little of my budget I have left up before it vanishes in 2 weeks

If you are looking for some to last a while I REALLY like the Numark HF125, these can be purchased cheaper in bulk rather than as individuals.

 

The reason I like these is the build quality is awesome. I found on a lot of the cheap ones which have a single cable to one headphone has a really badly designed cable that links to the other ear. I have often found that this is a major point of failure. If you don't believe me on the quality order a set in and you will be surprised.
