HP-085 Stereo/Mono Adjustable Headphones with Independent Volume Controls
The HP-085 Stereo/Mono Adjustable Headphones are among the most versatile headphones available for educational, professional, and personal listening applications. Designed with independent left and right volume controls and a convenient Stereo/Mono switch, these headphones allow users to customize audio to meet their individual listening needs.
Ideal for schools, libraries, computer labs, language labs, training programs, audio-visual applications, and home use, the HP-085 delivers clear, high-quality sound and exceptional comfort during extended listening sessions.
Designed for Personalized Listening
Unlike conventional headphones, the HP-085 features independent volume controls on each earpiece, allowing users to adjust the sound level separately for the left and right ear. This unique feature is especially beneficial for individuals with unequal hearing levels between ears, partial hearing loss, tinnitus, single-sided deafness (SSD), unilateral hearing loss, acoustic neuromas, and other hearing challenges.
The built-in Stereo/Mono switch allows users to instantly select stereo sound or combine both audio channels into a mono signal. This makes it possible to hear all program content in one ear when desired, eliminating the need for an external stereo-to-mono adapter.
Comfort and Noise Isolation
The HP-085 features oversized cushioned earcups that fit comfortably around the ears while helping to reduce distracting background noise. The over-the-ear design also accommodates most in-the-ear hearing aids and assistive listening devices.
A padded adjustable headband allows users to customize the fit while reducing pressure on the ears for maximum comfort during extended listening sessions.
Universal Compatibility
The HP-085 works with virtually any audio device equipped with a standard 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) headphone jack. An included 6.35 mm (1/4-inch) adapter expands compatibility with professional and consumer audio equipment.
Compatible devices include:

Great for single sided hearing loss
I needed a device with separate volume controls due to one-sided hearing loss. I have severe loss in one ear/slight loss in the other. I can hear in the worse ear if the volume is high enough and I do like that ear to get the stimulation of hearing music and speech rather than just letting the good ear do all the work (and it is important to do that to maintain good auditory connections between the ear and brain.). With this product I can turn the volume way up in the bad ear and way down in the good ear, and get a balanced listening experience. If I want to do auditory training using only the affected ear, I can just turn the other one off. The sound quality is good and the volume is ample for me to hear in the hearing impaired ear. This plugs right into the jack on my MacBook and I don't have to worry about charging or connecting via BT - this is super easy to use. I love that the volume knobs are KNOBS, and not a fiddly little toggle switch. My only complaint is that these are rather tight, and although the spec sheet indicates that you can release the tension, I'm not seeing how that is done.

Just ok
They work for the price point.
I use as monitor so high fidelity is not required. -

Out of the box, good build and works well for me, so far
I listen to voice recordings. I have not stress-tested these in, say, a jogging situation, but the parts seem very sturdy. I wish the cord was a bit lighter, less awkward, but it is fine for indoors anyway. Ear parts are snug and close out ambient sounds thoroughly. It produces strong volume/amplification, good for my right ear (with the most hearing loss). Controls are simple. It is a bit snug on my large-sized head, but OK. It is a surprisingly good build for the price.

Headphones w/ l/r volume
The headset does what it's supposed to do. I give three stars due to sound quality. To be clear though I bought these specifically to tune out the sound of my right hand playing and focus or hear my left. These help somewhat, in that even though you can control the volume for either left or right, the entire sound just shifts left or right. Since I can't afford those ridiculously priced headphones that professional musicians use, these are doing the trick. The sound itself, unfortunately is not that great, at least in my instruments.

Innovative
These headphones are great for listening to music or talk radio in one ear and monitoring your environment with the other ear such as listening to your cell phone for a call. The left and right channels are mixed and there seems to be a dual voice coil so there is no shorting of the left and right channels from the jack. The bass is a little more than normal and I would prefer a flat response so there might be some confusion of the bass level when trying to record. Scan sound should put their logo on it. The price is a bargain_

Headphone
Hi - I bought the Stereo-Mono adjustable headphones and like the volume controls that are separate, one on each ear. I have a hearing aid in one ear. I liked that I could adjust the two ears differently for the volume level and it has really made my hearing stereo much more enjoyable. I noticed the package said HP-030 or something like that but it seems to be the right item. Whatever. I very much appreciate your taking the time to explain how the headphone works and your email gave me assurances that I was buying from not just a company, but someone who cares.
