Edtech manufacturer Cyber Acoustics recently announced the launch of the AC-6014 USB-C Headset, designed for use in K–12 and virtual classrooms, according to a news release. The announcement comes on the heels of three recent USB-C products including two headsets with a microphone and one without.

“As schools across the country head back to school, we are seeing an increase in requests for USB-C offerings as more schools adopt newer iPad and Chromebook models,” said Cyber Acoustics COO Steve Erickson. “The AC-6000 series is one of our best-selling lines of classroom headsets, as it works great for kids of all ages, and the new AC-6014 enables us to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We also took this opportunity to redesign the USB connection on all of our USB-A and USB-C models to offer improved durability at this very common stress point, to give teachers one less thing to think about when they are trying to instruct.”

The AC-6014 offers durability features like a headband that can be bent or twisted, a tangle-resistant braided TuffCord that can be “coiled, flexed, or even chewed without sacrificing performance.” The product launches in October.

Cyber Acoustics also partners with schools and educational institutions to offer a no-cost headset recycling program to properly re-use elements of wired or wireless headsets of any brand.
