Summary

This episode is sponsored by TWT Audio. TWT Audio was built for educators, by educators, designing headsets specifically for real classroom environments, durable enough to last, and comfortable for all-day use. With over 5 million headsets and headphones sold, schools trust TWT because they just work, delivering consistent performance while simplifying technology. Instead of replacing cheap headsets year after year, invest in a solution that schools nationwide trust every day. TWT Audio — hear the difference. If you’ve ever dealt with broken headphones during testing season, you already know the chaos. In this episode, I sit down with a Alan Sherbourne, VP of marketing at TWT Audio to break down the real cost of low-quality classroom audio. We explore why schools keep replacing headsets year after year, how poor audio impacts student performance, and how durability, clarity, and thoughtful design can completely change the game. If you’re preparing for testing season or planning next year’s tech purchases, this episode is a must-listen.
