Multiple headphones for a listening station - how?
I'm looking to set up a listening station in my classroom and it would be quite helpful if I had multiple sets of headphones hooked up to it. I suppose I could just buy a bunch of splitters and daisy-chain them but I'm wondering if there is a better option. I'd like to have 4 running at once but the option to go to 6 in certain situations would be nice.
They would all be playing the same source material and stereo sound would be ideal.

I found a couple of these while randomly searching Google. Many of the links to them were dead, however, as they were from circa 2005. I found a headphone splitter on Amazon that I went ahead and ordered one as I figured for $10 it was worth a shot. I'd love to know which one she is using specifically.

I have the Boosteroo Headphone Amplifier and Splitter. You can attach 3 headphones to it and it really boosts the sound. You might not need the amplifier part in the classroom but it is great for sharing your tunes on airplanes and buses. Boosteroo makes other splittler products. They are little more pricey than other splitters but the quality is great. I've had mine for years and have never had a problem with it. I think that I found a discount code on the Web when I bought mine.

I have a box that connects to a cd player that gives 8 outlets for headphones to use as a listening center, but I am struggling to remember the brand just now. Maybe Califone?

I believe the name is in fact, Calliphone. But...I wanted to suggest to you something that we use in our classroom. We use a Belkin Rockstar (it's a headphone splitter that holds up to 5 headsets); it costs less than 12 dollars and plugs into an ipod or computer. We download from ITunes audiobooks that our low-level readers read and have them work in literature circle groups using the Belkin. Google it! See if you can order one or two. (I actually found them in a Kohl's store last year).

That is in fact exactly what I ordered. Amazon had the Rockstar for $10 so I jumped in. Glad to hear it worked for you. Mine shipped a couple days ago, I'll let you know how it works!

We use our listening station for audiobooks for lowlevel readers allowing them to participate in Literature Circle groups. We usually download the books from ITunes, but there are some other sources (public libraries) where you can get these free. I will forward that information to you as soon as I find more out about it.
Headsets can run cheap too. We like to get the ones with the mic attached, so we can use them for podcasting as well as for listening.
