It's been almost 75 years since Hamilton Electronics entered the audio industry and began manufacturing educational equipment for all sorts of schools; well, it seems like Hamilton Electronics is not at all running in the same race like many other producers, the race for smaller and louder gear... the Guardian headphones clearly prove it.

How much is your child's hearing worth for you? If having at least once confronted with this question as a parent or teacher/ instructor, it's most likely you know how hard it is for a person with bad hearing sense to fully and properly integrate in the society...

Now think about your children and the way they're being exposed to a very serious amount of noise each day, at home, while gaming or watching TV, on their way to school and in the school as well. There is now a way to help you and your children voluntarily listen to audio content at health-risk levels: the Hamilton Electronics Guardian headphones.

These headphones work on a very simple principle: if the listening volume is below a potentially health-damaging level, the installed greed LED is lit, allowing the teacher, instructor or parent to know everything's all right. In the opposite case, when the audio being played back reaches a level which is too high for safe listening, the green LED shuts down and a red one takes its place, warning about the situation.

This way, you can monitor the listening conditions for your children and students and prevent the exposure to excessive audio levels for a healthier life. At the same time, the Guardian headphones from Hamilton Electronics help educate the small for a healthier way of life from the early days, helping them control better the volume of what they are listening to and why not, set an example for the others. These headphones are available as we speak for a reasonable price of $39.95.
