"A quick look at a sample pair of these headphones was sufficient to prove that they're not too good to be true; I just wish I could have laid my hands on them sooner. Now that they are in use throughout the department, I'm hoping that consigning dodgy or broken splitters to the bin is very much a thing of the past. A time, hassle, space, waste AND cost-saving investment that should last well into the future."

"They have arrived - i've picked out a pair or two and they look really good. I like how well they are packaged, and the build quality is high, as the same as the sample set sent before ordering. In use, they are providing exactly what I need to being able to supply sound from both keyboard and computer without having to switch any sockets around, which is great in saving time and resource wear and tear.

"I purchased these headphones as they solved two ongoing issues that we had in our music department. Firstly, these headphones are practical for both computer-based sessions and keyboard sessions without the need for additional adapters, due to having both jack inputs. Secondly it has removed the need for us to purchase splitters, which was an ongoing cost for the department. For our puposes, it is 3 products, rolled into one."

"Having used the headphones for over a week now, the simple design allows multiple students to connect to one device easily seamlessly. They are well built, the cables feel solid and the best part is they completely negate the need for splitters, saving both time and money. Brilliant product and recommended highly for school and music institutes."

"I have just received a fantastic product from Soho Sound Company. I bought the SOHO Audio Link – Dual Jack wired headphones for the keyboards in our music department at school. They look good, feel good and more importantly sound good. Love the fact that the children are now able to use the keyboards together with total ease! Will definitely return to Soho Sound Company for any future needs."

"Headphones arrived yesterday. School bursary have asked me to check them today - all as ordered and working. They sound great, and I'm looking forward to seeing how our pupils like them. Seems a very good idea, which will enable pupils to keep a pair permanently plugged in, while the teacher moves around the room and join in!"

Why Jack Plug Adapters Are a Headache in Schools

Introduction:Jack adapters — those tiny connectors used to convert between 6.3mm and 3.5mm headphone jacks — are a common “quick fix” in schools. But in real classrooms, they create more problems than they solve. The Real-World Problem: Adapters get lost easily, especially by younger pupils They're rarely labeled and often go missing during class transitions When dropped or forced into ports, they damage devices and headphones Why It Matters for Learning:Tech disruptions waste valuable lesson time. A missing or broken adapter can stall a music lesson or computer activity for... Read more...
