The Critical Role of Safe Design in School Headphones

Introduction:
Student safety should never be optional — especially with wired tech. A simple design decision can prevent real accidents.

The Hidden Risk of Dual Wires:

  • Two wired earpieces = choking hazard if cables wrap or snag

  • Younger students may tug, chew, or twist the wires unknowingly

  • Long cables create trip and tangle risks

What Safe Headphones Should Look Like:

  • One-sided wiring to reduce tangle risks

  • Shortened cables or coiled options for better cable control

  • Materials that meet school safety standards

SOHO’s Solution:
All SOHO headphones for schools feature single-cable designs with reinforced stress relief and child-safe features. They're made for the classroom — not the consumer shelf.
