Hi Jennifer,
I am not familiar with possible headphone brands but in the Seymour Marine
Discovery Center they use three heavy-duty phones (handheld part only) on
cords. The phones have some sort of magnetic function that switches them off
when they are in the holders. Each phone has sounds of a seal, sea lion, and
elephant seal.
They have done fairly well, I believe, with minimal repairs and maintenance.
I can try to find contact info for their exhibit manager if you contact me
off-list.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Stereo headphones recommendation
Hello All:
For the first time we have installed listening station in one of our
exhibitions.
The exhibit has been very popular and is heavily used, especially by
children.
Our problem is the stereo headphones that we need for the listening station.
We can't seem to find any that will last for more than three weeks before
they
break (the plastic headphone structure, not the sound wires) and need to be
replaced. Does anyone have a recommendtaion for a brand of headphones
(not ear buds) that can withstand heavy exhibit use but aren't so expensive
that people would be tempted to steal them?
Thanks,
Jennifer Madden
