  • Automatic pause feature allows for the track to be automatically paused for approx. 20 min. if the headphones are removed enabling for the user to pick up from where they have left off
  • The headphones are recharged through the docking station supplied.
  • The headphones and remote control unit have the capacity to hold approx..2 hours MP3 recording time. This is a substantial amount and more than adequate for classroom use.
  • The software allows for removing or adding tracks. To upload content simple dock the headphones / remote control unit into the docking station and connect the docking station to your PC via USB.
  • Adding / deleting tracks feature allows you to navigate to MP3 files on your PC, through ‘My Library’. From here tracks can be selected and dragged into the ‘My Playlist’ box to create individual playlists. Individual tracks or playlists can be added to individual headsets, or a simple ‘Copy to headsets’ button enables you to copy the same tracks to all six. Tracks are deleted by selecting then dragging to the dust bin or right clicking on the mouse.
  • Play a track.
  • Importing files – there are various tools within the software that enable you to import files. This could be bringing in MP3 files through the Library, importing files in a format that the software then automatically converts to MP3, recording sounds directly into the software (using a microphone) or ripping tracks from a CD, i.e. copying the contents off a CD into MP3 format that can then be brought into the software. This flexibility enables teachers to have a breadth of options in terms of the audio content they wish to add to the headphones.
  • Converts files – imported files such as WAV and WMA are automatically converted to MP3 (Easi-Ears preferred format); no need to use separate file converter software first.
  • Copy files from a CD – copy tracks from your favorite CDs into MP3 format for use on the headphones and remote control unit.
