  • 1.  Handheld Earphone with 3.5mm Audio Jack?

    Posted 10-16-2018 04:55 PM

    We cannot find a simple handheld "Hearphone" for use with an iPad Kiosk. The only requirement is the audio connection should be a 3.5mm audio mini-jack?

    Thanks for any help!

    How about this charming flashback?

    Regrettably, the Victorian Retro Phone Handset is no longer available.

    It is not 100% clear what style of headphone you are looking for.  I believe you are looking for something like Soundstik which is the older technology solution for exhibits with a permanent audio playback requirement.  These are not designed to work as a simple plug and play with off the shelf devices such as iPads.  They do have solutions but they are more complicated than just plugging it into the standard jack Vista Group | Product Page .  Check them out if that is what you are interested in. 

    If you are looking for just headphones we can supply you with economical sets that are standard jack size and are ideal for multi-visitor use.  The earpads are vinyl and can be wiped and cleaned between users.  No matter what standard style headphones you choose, I would strongly suggest avoiding spending too much on headphones because even the highest quality ones require replacement.  If you are interested in regular headphones for museum  use reach out - jared@listenupaudio.com .
