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. As this the hand­sets are also protected 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.

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

    FAQ — Frequently asked ques­tions

    How does the instal­la­tion work? What tech­no­logy do we need to operate the hand­sets?
    An instal­la­tion manual is included (iSHearo instal­la­tion instruc­tions). If neces­sary, you can request an instal­la­tion service from the system inte­grator www.inSynergie.de.
    Since the audio player func­tions as a simple speaker, you will also need an audio source, such as a solid-state player like the iSAu­dio­Player, a PC, or a tablet or mobile device.
    An ampli­fier is also recom­mended if you want to achieve higher volumes.
    If you wish, you can enquire about access­ories for the single-ear headset in the online shop.
    Which audio player is recom­mended for the iSHearo?

    The iSAu­dio­Player provides the neces­sary connec­tions for the iSHe­aro’s audio and Reed sensor and can be easily loaded and programmed 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 single-ear headset or an external button can switch back and forth between German and English tracks or jump to a diffe­rent chapter.

    • General information

    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 systems inte­grator or reseller, you are eligible for a reseller discount on the single-ear head­phones. Please mention this to the online shop team when making your enquiry.

    What warranty is offered for the single-ear head­phones?
    The iSHearo has a 24-month send-in guarantee. The warranty does not apply to devices with physical damage.
    Gene­rally spea­king, the iSHearo is very robust, as it is well known that it is not always handled 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.

    Bochum: German Mining Museum Bochum
    Frank­furt: Money Museum
    Heidel­berg: Carl Bosch Museum
