Complete line of USB-C headphones and headsets for classrooms
To meet the needs of modern classrooms Cyber Acoustics has expanded its line of USB-C devices to include the new AC-6014 headset. Other USB-C offerings include the AC-4014 headset, AC-5014 headset, and ACM-6005C headphones. All models feature the industry-leading durability Cyber Acoustics is known for, including headbands that can be bent or twisted, tangle-free TuffCords that can be chewed or coiled, as well as an in-line cord management system with a built-in loop closure, allowing for easy cord storage when the headset is not in use.
Stop by booth #1149 to explore our line of durable education products
“We always look forward to attending TCEA because it’s a valuable opportunity to hear directly from our customers exactly what they need to facilitate learning in their classrooms,” said Mark Montagna, director of North American sales, at Cyber Acoustics. “Our main priority is to listen to our customers and deliver solutions that truly solve their problems, so having the chance to hear first-hand what challenges they face gives us the opportunity to have a direct impact in their environment, and we always leave inspired to continue innovating.”
Cyber Acoustics Education Headsets Now Built with Recycled Plastic
In 2024 Cyber Acoustics began building its entire line of education headsets with at least 50 percent recycled plastic, with no compromises to the durability the brand is widely regarded for. The company also utilizes recycled materials in packaging, with a focus on creating efficient packaging to achieve minimal size, leading to the use of fewer trucks and fewer containers.
Cyber Acoustics No-Cost Recycling Program
In 2021 Cyber Acoustics launched a recycling program for schools as a way for them to easily dispose of broken or unused wired headsets. Due to program success, Cyber Acoustics now takes wired and wireless headphones, headsets, and earbuds from any brand, and ensures they are properly recycled. To date the program has diverted more than 30,000 pounds of e-waste from landfills. In addition, these recycling initiatives offset approximately 29 percent of the company’s carbon footprint.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As flood threats continue across parts of South Central Texas, Austin Pets Alive! has activated emergency response efforts to support animal shelters affected by the inclement weather.
In a social media post, APA! wrote, “We began offering aid last night, working to secure fosters for 10 dogs in the Castroville shelter, an open-air shelter that sits at the bottom of a valley.”
APA! said the situation escalated overnight with additional shelters reporting flooding. One shelter confirmed that floodwaters reached its facility, APA! added.
Communities overwhelmed due to weather include Uvalde, Castroville and Sabinal.
The nonprofit is asking the Austin community to foster, adopt or donate to free up capacity for animals displaced by the disaster. APA! needs to clear out its facilities to assist the animals in need of shelter.
Here are ways you can help:
- Adopt: APA! is offering a “Name Your Own Adoption Fee” on all animals.
- Foster: The shelter is seeking foster homes for a minimum of three weeks.
- Donate: Proceeds will fund vans and response teams setting up a staging and triage center at the heart of the disaster zone, along with an expanded stockpile of preventatives, PPE and additional supplies.
