Best-Seller Focus: Headphones

Filed under: Blog, Latest News — Jamie @ 8:05 am

Here at Wishtrac, we pride ourselves on our wide selection of quality headphones for schools.  We believe that good quality, durable headphones shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg; and we think our range of headphones reflects that.  Schools seem to agree, as almost every month headphones are near to, or at the top of our best-selling monthly items.

A popular recent addition to our range has been our Stereo Headphones with Coiled Cable.  These headphones, like our most popular Quality Stereo Headphones, are built to last in every aspect, from the headband to the cable.  The 2.7m coiled cable can take the brunt of being run over by chairs, trampled on or stretched.  It also makes storing the headphones very easy; you won’t have to worry about tying up the messy cable.  The volume control, along with a stereo/mono switch, is built into the earpiece so there’s nothing built into the cable.

As with our other headphones, we offer excellent bulk-buy savings on these headphones.  You can of course buy a single pair, however you can save £5 if you buy a 5 pack, £55 if you buy a 30 pack, or a massive £200 if you buy a 100 pack.

If you need advice on which headphones are right for your school, be sure to take a look at our headphones buyer’s guide.

There’s a new buzz about Bee-Bots!

Filed under: Blog, Latest News — Jamie @ 9:21 am

The award-winning Bee-Bot has been making programming and directional control fun and accessible for young children for several years now, and it’s been a favourite with our customers too.  It’s a simple but brilliant piece of technology, but like all technology, it needs power to keep it going.  Given what the Bee-Bot is designed to do, any wires were out of the question so it’s had to rely on good old AA batteries.  Whilst AA batteries allowed the Bee-Bot to roam free of any wires, they did of course need replacing (unless more expensive rechargeable batteries were used) after they’d run their course.

But now, the Bee-Bot has been updated to include a built-in rechargeable battery which can be charged via USB – so you can wave goodbye to bin-loads of AA batteries!  What’s even better is that the Class Bundle, which includes 6 Bee-Bots, now also comes with a docking station to recharge or safely store all 6 Bee-Bots at the same time.  Take a look!
