Sanitary Disposable Covers for Headphones and Headsets

Safely Share Headphones and Headsets Among Many Different Users

Sanitary covers are available for headphones and headsets which stretch around the headphone earpiece to shield the person wearing the headphones from coming in contact with the foam cushion portion of the headset or headphone. The stretchable covers are made from non-woven synthetic spun-bond polypropylene, which is the same material used to make wet wipes. The material allows audio to easily pass through while providing a barrier to moisture to shield users from the germs and bacterial of other headphone and headset users. They have been frequently ordered by institutions that are actively working to maintain the cleanliness of their headsets and to contain the spread of germs that might go from one headphone user to another due to contact with the earpieces.

Sharing headphones and headsets seems to be quite harmless, however most people do not realize that the foam part of the headphone cushion is like a sponge that absorbs body moisture and allows the transfer of skin cells, biological material, germs, bacteria and a virus from one user to another. Most users do not mind that the headphones are being recycled, however they do not want whatever was left behind by previous users when they put on the headphones or headset that has been shared with who knows who.

Headphones and headsets are frequently shared among many different users in settings such as educational facilities, call centers, on-the-job training programs, museum kiosks, business presentations, trade shows, headphone sales stores, music stores, schools, libraries, workout facilities, dental offices and healthcare facilities. While it may be beneficial to provide exceptional audio with a good pair of headphones, nobody wants their hair and skin to come in contact with the same sponge foam material that was shared with many other prior users, because not only will you be exposing your skin to the same material as all the previous users, but there is also the potential that as those headphones are worn, that one of the users could have head lice that invisibly will find the same sponge foam to be a nice happy environment as well. So unfortunately, the headphones can become a handy vessel for transferring head lice from one individual pair of headphones to many subsequent headphone users.
