Each child has their own set of headphones that are stored in a
plastic zip lock bag in a "class" crate in our lab.
The headphones are less thatn $5 each, the plastic zip lock bag is
cheap and the crates are from Target for less than $5 each.
When the kids come in, they get the crate and pass out the headphones.
It goes amazingly fast and there is no more concern about the headphones/lice.
