Choosing the right headset for your students can significantly improve their learning experience. Investing in durable headphones offers significant advantages for student and in this post, we’ll compare two popular options from our lineup: the DURO and REVO headphones and headsets. Both designed with educators and students in mind, these models offer unique features tailored to different classroom needs. Let's explore the specifics to help you make an informed decision.
Durability and Build Quality
DURO: As the name suggests, the DURO headsets are built to withstand the rigors of daily classroom use. Its reinforced polymer headband and ear cups are designed to endure drops, bends, and the general wear and tear of an active educational environment. The tangle-free, braided cable adds an extra layer of durability, ensuring longevity even with frequent use.
REVO: While also robust, the REVO focuses more on modularity without compromising on comfort and build quality. Its flexible headband and 24mm cushioned ear pads are comfortable for extended use, making it ideal for longer study sessions or standardized testing periods. In addition, its modular components let you adapt these headphones to whatever device you need. Do you have an older laptop? The standard 3.5mm REVO cable is right for you. Have a new iPad or Chromebook? The USB-C REVO cable has you covered. Need a USB-A connection? We have that, too! Whether you are looking to breathe life into some worn-out ear cushions or looking to adapt to a new device, the REVO headphones and headsets can grow with you due to their interchangeable Stealth Release™ components. Check out this step-by-step guide for replacing the ear cushions and cables on REVO headphones.
Audio Quality
DURO: The DURO offers clear and balanced audio, perfect for general classroom use, listening to educational videos, or participating in interactive lessons. Its sound profile ensures students can hear instructions and multimedia content without distortion.
REVO: The REVO headphones steps up the audio experience with rich lows and clear highs, making it suitable for more immersive learning activities. Whether detailed audio in language lessons and testing or engaging soundscapes in virtual field trips, the REVO provides a richer auditory experience that can more effectively capture students' attention.
“Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss. The louder the sound, the shorter the amount of time it takes for NIHL to happen.” - The National Institute of Deafness and Other Common Disorders
Both product lines offer a proprietary, custom-tuned sound curve that eliminates harsh mid-range frequencies and decibel output to prevent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). “Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss. The louder the sound, the shorter the amount of time it takes for NIHL to happen.” - The National Institute of Deafness and Other Common Disorders. The TWT Audio DURO And REVO product lines have a maximum decibel output between 92dBA and 96dBA, whereas most of our competitors are 100dBA and above.

Microphone and Communication
DURO: The DURO headset comes equipped with an adjustable microphone featuring background noise-reducing capabilities.This ensures clear communication during online classes or collaborative projects, where reducing background noise in busy environments and allowing for seamless interaction are pivotal.
REVO: The REVO's microphone offers the same benefits as the DURO but includes a convenient “mute” on the boom-lift feature. When you need to take a quick side conversation during a call, feel secure knowing your microphone won’t pick up your conversation while in the raised position. This makes the REVO a great choice for hybrid learning setups, online tutoring, and environments with varying noise levels. The microphone's omni capsule technology ensures that every word is heard distinctly while ensuring background conversations are missed, fostering better communication, testing input and results.
Comfort and Fit
DURO: Designed with durability in mind, the DURO offers durable features such as an adjustable padded headband, 24mm plush ear pads, and a reinforced, flexible polymer frame and swivel-cup tech. Its lightweight design ensures students can wear it for extended periods without discomfort.
REVO: The REVO prioritizes comfort and style with its 24mm plush, memory foam ear pads and ergonomic design. Perfect for older students, younger students, or teachers who need a headset that can be worn comfortably throughout the day. The adjustable headband ensures a snug fit for all head sizes, providing a secure and comfortable listening experience.
Price and Value
DURO: The DURO is an excellent budget-friendly option that does not compromise on essential features. It offers great value for schools looking to equip multiple classrooms with durable, reliable headsets that meet everyday educational needs.
REVO: While slightly more in cost, the REVO offers enhanced features, longevity (budget savings), and superior comfort, making it a worthwhile investment for schools that prioritize a higher-quality audio experience and long-term comfort. It’s a no-brainer for specialized programs or higher grade levels where these features can significantly impact the learning experience and stretch your budget in the long term.
Side By Side Comparison of DURO And REVO Series
Which One to Choose?
Choosing between the DURO and REVO depends largely on your specific classroom needs:
- DURO is the go-to choice for everyday use or in environments where durability is the main concern. Its sturdy build and reliable performance ensure it can handle the daily demands of a busy classroom.
- REVO is perfect for classroom learning, hybrid learning environments, or specialized programs where enhanced audio quality and comfort are crucial. Its superior features justify the negligibly different price point. It generally offers a better return on investment because you can replace components with Stealth Release™ Technology rather than the entire unit when parts become worn.
The DURO and REVO product lines both exemplify our commitment to providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions tailored to educators' needs. Whichever model you choose, you can be confident in delivering a better auditory experience for your students.
