Stop wasting your school budget replacing cheap headphones every year and head to TWTAudio.com to hear the difference. Tired of watching your school tech budget get chewed to pieces? We all know the heartbreak of “that bin” filled with broken classroom headphones. In this episode, I chat with Mark Howlett, Chief Operating Officer at TWT Audio to learn his thought process while designing student-proof tech. He went from being an audio engineer and working with music legends to working with our most important artists… students! He has a passion for making audio crystal clear for our students while maintaining safety for them as well, without breaking the bank. Learn how TWT’s modular headphone designs allow you to swap a single cord in seconds for a fraction of the cost, saving schools thousands of dollars. We break down the hidden costs of cheap equipment and how to adapt classroom gear without buying entirely new setups every time ports change. Stop throwing budget money in the trash.
