<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When first deployed, we used zip ties to secure them but that caused more inconvenience to patron use than it was worth in theft. Theft is now rare; most loss is due to breakage from regular wear on the wiring.
We plug the headphones in at the front of the PC towers & often find them unplugged I expect from patrons using their own.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have been handing out headphones informally for two years, however we are now considering purchasing a pair for each of our adult computers. We are looking for a good solution to “tether” or otherwise secure the headphones to the computers.
Ideally, we’d like to have an audio jack splitter with our headphones secured into one side and an opening on the other side so users can insert their own headphones as desired.<o:p></o:p></p>
