Robust and hygienic

The advan­tage of a single-cup earphone (also known as a mono handset) is that the content can be listened to individually without distur­bing other visitors. The earpieces are more robust and hygienic than classic head­phones. They do not require direct contact with the ear and can be easily cleaned. The cable with steel sheathing prevents twis­ting and twis­ting, a known problem with e.g. tele­phone and head­phone cables. In addi­tion, the hand­sets are thus secured against theft. Thanks to stain­less steel, the protec­tive hose remains beau­tiful for a long time!

Made in Germany

The body, bracket, speaker plate and steel tubing of the iSHearo hand­sets come from German work­shops and suppliers. All compon­ents are assem­bled, installed and tested in our in-house work­shop.

One-cup head­phones at the museum

Audio stations with head­phones in museums offer visitors the oppor­tu­nity to listen to audio mate­rial that provides additional information, expl­ana­tions or stories about the objects or exhi­bi­tions on display. These stations serve to enhance the visitor experience by provi­ding audi­tory access to the content. They may include histo­rical back­ground, cultural signi­fi­cance or inte­res­ting anec­dotes.

The iSHearo handset is used in many museums, such as the German Mining Museum in Bochum, the Mining Museum in Oels­nitz, the Carl Bosch Museum in Heidel­berg, and the Enigma Museum of Commu­ni­ka­tion in Denmark.

Low-barrier acces­si­bi­lity

Listening stations can support the provi­sion of acces­sible information by provi­ding texts in an audi­tory way for visitors with visual impairm­ents or other needs.

 

New! iSHearo 2nd Life Black

Handset made from recy­cled plastic

Only plas­tics that have been recy­cled from other waste streams are used to make the body. By using this plastic, we are making a contri­bu­tion to envi­ron­mental protec­tion and at the same time offe­ring you a high-quality product with outstan­ding sound quality.

The iSHearo offers all the func­tions you expect from high-quality single-cup head­phones. The recy­cled plastic also offers the follo­wing advan­tages:
- Envi­ron­men­tally friendly thanks to recy­cling
- lighter mate­rial made of PE (suitable for children)

- rougher surface and ther­e­fore less suscep­tible to scrat­ches

We are aware that the produc­tion of elec­trical appli­ances has a nega­tive impact on the envi­ron­ment. That is why we have committed ourselves to making our products more sustainable. With the iSHearo mono head­phones, we are taking an important step in this direc­tion.

      FAQ — Frequently asked ques­tions

      How does the instal­la­tion work? What tech­no­logy do we need to operate the hand­sets?
      An instal­la­tion manual is supplied (iSHearo instal­la­tion instruc­tions). If required, you can request an instal­la­tion service from the system inte­grator www.inSynergie.de.
      As the handset is a simple loud­speaker, you will also need an audio player, such as a solid state player, a PC or a tablet/mobile device.
      An ampli­fier is also recom­mended if you want to achieve higher volumes.
      We can offer access­ories for the handset on request. Please ask us!
      Can you also supply a player for the handset?

      From March 2025, we will be laun­ching our own audio player on the market. This will allow easy uploa­ding of audio­files and programming via a web inter­face.

      How is the handset connected? Which plug connec­tions are possible?

      The iSHearo is supplied with open cable ends as stan­dard. This means that the audio signal and reed contact can be connected accor­ding to your own requi­re­ments. Further information can be found in the iSHearo instal­la­tion instruc­tions.
      On request, a plug assembly with 3.5 mm jack, 3‑pin, balanced mono signal or other plugs is also possible at a small surcharge.
      Please note that the handset only has one loud­speaker and ther­e­fore only outputs a mono signal!
      If you are working with a stereo audio file, both chan­nels should play the same content.
      Is it possible to select diffe­rent audio tracks on a handset using external buttons?

      Yes, this can be programmed in the audio player. For example, pres­sing a button on the handset or an external button can toggle between a German and English track or switch to a diffe­rent chapter.

      Are the hand­sets suitable for repeated instal­la­tion in chan­ging exhi­bi­tion archi­tec­tures?
      The hand­sets can be easily removed and reused.
      Yes. Nothing is perma­nently fixed during assembly, for example by gluing or sold­e­ring. The screw connec­tions can be loosened again.
      Is there a dealer discount?

      Yes, if you are a system inte­grator or dealer, you will receive a dealer discount on our hand­sets. Please let us know when you make an inquiry, as this is not always imme­dia­tely appa­rent to us.

      What payment options are available for the iSHearo handset?

      Orders are paid in advance by bank transfer and are only dispatched after receipt of payment. Please allow time for this proce­dure in your sche­dule.

      We also offer an option to pay via PayPal with a fee of 2.5%.

       

      What guarantee do you offer for the hand­sets?
      The iSHearo has a 24-month send-in guarantee. The warranty does not apply to devices with physical damage.
      In general, the iSHearo is very robust, as we know that it is not always treated with care in museums.
      How are the hand­sets cleaned?
      Switch off the audio station. Discon­nect the device from the power supply before maintenance/cleaning (pull out the mains plug).
      Elec­trical appli­ances may only be cleaned and main­tained extern­ally. Wipe them with a damp cloth at most and do not allow any liquid to pene­trate the inside of the appli­ance.
      After clea­ning, wait a certain amount of time before recon­nec­ting the appli­ance to the power supply so that it can dry suffi­ci­ently.
      Clean any dirt with a slightly damp, clean cloth.
      Only use warm water and then wipe the appli­ance dry.
      It is best to use compressed air to clean any gaps covered with dust. Make sure to blow the dust outwards or to the side if possible (not inside the appli­ance).
      Opening an appli­ance housing leads to an exclu­sion of liabi­lity and may inva­li­date warranty claims.
      The inside of the housing may only be cleaned by certi­fied service tech­ni­cians.
      In which cities are there refe­rence projects where the iSHearo handset has been used?
      Frank­furt: Money Museum
      Heidel­berg: Carl Bosch Museum
      Denmark, Copen­hagen: Enigma
