The StoryPhones Headset

The StoryPhones MP3 Headsets are perfect for children to use as headphones. They have been specifically designed to fit children and to be simple and fun to use. There is a separate MP3 player built into each Headset allowing you to have either different content on each Headset, or the same content on all. This provides great usability for group and individual learning, and adapting learning activities for children of different abilities.

They include built in long life rechargeable batteries which are easy to maintain. Batteries will last up to at least eight hours of normal use before needing to be recharged.

Essentially, there are no wires to or from the Headsets when they are being used, meaning children can take these where they want. StoryPhones Headsets are highly usable, whether it is an outdoor nature trail, a musical activity where children want to dance and move or a story session in the classroom or in an outdoor story area.

Having been designed specifically for children, they are very simple to use. There are operating controls on the side of each Headset; Play/Pause, Skip and Volume controls. These child friendly buttons can be configured very easily to allow the children to be able to use only certain buttons. For example, you may want to disable the skip control so that children can concentrate on the story or activity being played. This has great applications for inclusive learning when a child may have problems with attention or listening difficulties.

There is also the unique ‘Automatic Play Control’ function. This works via a motion sensor so that when the child takes off the Headset and puts it down, the story or activity they are listening to pauses. Then when they pick it back up, it starts from where it left off....as if by magic!

The Headsets can store up to 8 hours of content which can be managed through the Bookshelf software which we provide. This is through a simple USB cable connection...which we also provide!
