The wires would come undone easily, the padding would tear, and a whole host of other problems would arise. This was just with normal usage. By the second semester I wouldn't have enough for all the students. In fact, I don't remember a single pair lasting through the year. These headphones are really great. My students love them. \r\n\r\nI needed better headphones. I didn't need the best, but that would have costed to much, but you gave me what I needed to get good, durable headphones that are going to last. Thanks to your donations I no longer have to barrow headphones from other teachers.","fullyFundedDate":1733271186198,"projectUrl":"project/hear-it-see-it/8909136/","projectTitle":"Hear It, See It!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sciocchetti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2033566_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539878236455","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2033566"},{"teacherId":9486572,"projectId":8855995,"letterContent":"My students have absolutely loved these resources.

In fact, every single middle school student joined the club. That is just how excited they were.
