Premium Audio Quality for Learning
Don't let the rugged design fool you. Gumdrop headphones and headsets aren't just rugged – they sound great, too! Optimized full frequency response of 20–20,000 Hz delivers crisp, clear sound for video conferencing, educational videos, and testing applications. High impedance level protects against blow outs caused by amplification, ensuring consistent, distortion-free audio even in high-volume environments.
The flexible boom microphone allows students to position it perfectly for clear voice capture during video calls, assessments, and collaborative learning. Headsets feature unidirectional microphones so students can communicate crisply and clearly without picking up excessive background classroom noise.
Built to Survive K-12 Classrooms
Designed specifically for the K-12 education market, the DropTech headset withstands the kind of wear and tear that would destroy ordinary consumer headphones. Gumdrop headphones are rigorously drop-tested for falls of up to 6 feet, protecting your technology investment and reducing replacement costs. The adjustable, twistable headband bends without breaking, while the circumaural ear cups provide comfortable over-ear coverage that blocks distractions.
Perfect for standardized testing, computer labs, library media centers, 1:1 device programs, and remote learning, these headsets deliver the reliability teachers need and the durability students demand.
