Are HygenX Sanitary Headphone Covers MRI-Compatible? (Healthcare Use)

The HamiltonBuhl HygenX45 is a disposable over-ear sanitary headphone cover sold in packs of 50 pair at $14.68. The covers are a soft, non-woven fabric that stretches over the full ear cushion of larger circumaural headsets, the kind used for patient communication, audiology, and clinical audio. They are latex-free and contain no metal, so they add a fresh single-use hygiene barrier without introducing any ferromagnetic material into the environment. Distributed by Encore Data Products.

• Fits larger over-ear (circumaural) headsets common in clinical settings.
• Non-metallic and latex-free, with no ferromagnetic components.
• Single-use: a fresh barrier per patient, then discard.
• 50 pair per pack at $14.68 for high patient throughput.
• Hypoallergenic fabric suited to sensitive-skin and clinical use.

For healthcare and MRI-adjacent workflows, the HygenX45 is the stronger default because clinical headsets are usually over-ear, and its non-metallic makeup is the material property an MRI safety officer screens for. Always confirm any specific item with your facility before it enters the scanner suite.

The HamiltonBuhl HygenX25 is the on-ear version of the same disposable cover, sized for standard on-ear (supra-aural) headsets and headphones. It ships 50 pair per pack at $14.25 and shares the HygenX material profile: non-woven fabric, latex-free, and free of any metal. It gives each patient or student a fresh single-use barrier on smaller cushions rather than the larger over-ear pads.

• Fits standard on-ear headsets with smaller ear pads.
• Same non-metallic, latex-free material as the HygenX45.
• Single-use hygiene barrier, discarded after each patient.
• 50 pair per pack at $14.25.

The HygenX25 is the right pick when your headsets are on-ear rather than over-ear. For the larger circumaural headsets typical in clinical audio, step up to the HygenX45.
