At AVID, we believe learning is a part of everyday life that starts at an early age and we are here to provide headsets and headphones to enhance the learning experience every step of the way.
The First Step in the AVID Learning Journey
As part of our suite of audio solutions, we are pleased to announce the arrival of the first step in the AVID learning journey, the AE-25 headset. Primarily designed for younger students, the AE-25 is furnished with essential features to ensure a safe and enriching listening experience. Speakers are specially designed to keep sound below 85db- a recommended volume maximum to protect developing ears. The AE-25’s noise-canceling microphone allows for clear speech recognition, while the new SideKickTM feature provides the ability to quickly stow away the microphone to eliminate distraction during listening sessions.
In today’s classrooms, whether they be remote or in-person, educators are finding audio to be an important factor in learning. Headphones and headsets allow for more focus and engagement, as well as a more effective way to consume content such as audiobooks, podcasts and music. On top of this, audio devices are a perfect tool to nurture active listening skills at an early age.
Whether at school, at home or wherever learning is taking place, the AE-25 is a reliable audio tool to begin the learning and listening journey.
