Any headphones that plug into your computer will do. Even the wired ones that came with your cell phone, if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s using the 1\/8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d plug.\u00a0 This eliminates feedback when you un mute your microphone.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mute your microphone when not speaking to the instructor.
