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 an entire class.
SOHO’s Solution:
Our school-ready headphones come with the right plug built-in — no adapters required. Fewer parts means less stress, less replacement cost, and smoother learning.
