[Phoenix, AZ] – Since its founding in 2019, Barks Tech, a family-owned business based in Phoenix, Arizona, has been at the forefront of providing innovative audio solutions to schools across the United States and around the globe, specifically headphones for classrooms.
With a focus on supplying high-quality bulk headphones for classrooms, Barks Tech has rapidly become a preferred vendor for educators and institutions nationwide. Under the leadership of Bradley Barks, the company has shipped over one million pairs of classroom headphones and is now gearing up for its next growth phase.
“We officially launched Barks Tech in September 2019,” Bradley Barks reflects. “Our first product was the Select model, a simple yet durable set of headphones designed specifically for educational environments. Seeing the demand increase was exciting, but it took some time to gain traction in the marketplace.”
Building a Brand That Educators Trust
Starting a business in the competitive education technology space was no small feat. Still, Barks Tech rose to the challenge by developing a solid online presence through its website and Amazon marketplace. This effort has paid off, allowing Barks Tech to establish lasting relationships with K-12 schools nationwide.
“One of the things we’re most proud of is how many friendships and business connections we’ve built with schools,” Barks says. “We’ve made it a priority to listen to their needs, whether it’s feedback on our headphones or challenges they’ve faced in the classroom. We believe that kind of responsiveness and support sets us apart.”
Indeed, customer feedback has been at the heart of the company’s product development of headphones for classrooms. As Bradley explains, the team is constantly working on improving their headphones for classrooms based on what they hear from the users. “Our goal is always to improve them—whether enhancing durability or adding new features. We love hearing from our customers, even when there’s an issue because it helps us continue improving. We believe in offering the best after-sales support in the industry.”
A Commitment to Better Quality Headphones for Classrooms
Barks Tech has made a name for itself through quality products and backing them with robust customer service. A cornerstone of their business is the Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers manufacturing issues and any concerns upon arrival.
“We’re committed to taking care of our customers from start to finish,” Bradley emphasizes. “If there’s a shipping error or a product defect, we’re there to make it right. Our warranty might not cover regular wear and tear, but we’re always willing to assess any situation and do what we can—whether sending replacements or offering a refund. It’s about building relationships that last.”
A Day in the Life at Barks Tech
Running a company like Barks Tech involves various daily tasks that revolve around customer satisfaction, inventory management, and marketing. Bradley describes the day-to-day operations as fast-paced but fulfilling: “Every day is about keeping our customers happy and ensuring our products are in stock and ready to ship. We also review feedback and incorporate those insights into our next product releases. Our customers mean the world to us and are at the core of everything we do.”
This close attention to detail has helped Barks Tech continuously improve its products. However, Bradley admits that some lessons were learned the hard way when they first launched. “One thing I wish we had known earlier was how precise we needed to be with our suppliers regarding product specifications. Communicating every little detail is crucial to ensure we get the quality we promise. Over time, though, we’ve gotten better at this, and the experience has been invaluable.”
Looking to the Future of EduTech Products
Bradley Barks is excited about the next chapter for Barks Tech. The company plans to introduce several new models of headphones for classrooms in the coming year, offering schools even more options to suit their needs. “We will be rolling out models with different connection types and quantities. We believe these updates will help us serve even more schools and administrators as their go-to vendor for classroom headphones.”
But even as the company grows, Barks Tech remains committed to its founding principles. “The most important value in e-commerce today—and, for any business—is putting the customer first,” Bradley asserts. “That’s how we’ve operated since day one, and it’s how we’ll continue to operate in 2024 and beyond. Wowing the customer with both the product and the service should always be the goal.”
Personal Growth Through Business
On a more personal note, Bradley shares how running Barks Tech has helped him grow as an entrepreneur and a person. “One of the things I’ve enjoyed is how this business has made me more adaptable. I used to be pretty rigid, but you have to be flexible when you’re running a business. Solving problems creatively, adapting to new challenges, and continuously improving have been incredibly rewarding. It’s made me a better husband, brother, and friend.”
A Milestone Worth Mentioning
Barks Tech has already achieved some remarkable milestones. “One of the most memorable moments was when we realized we had sold over a million pairs of headphones,” Bradley recalls. “For a small, family-run business, that was a huge deal. It validated all the hard work we’ve put in and gave us even more motivation to keep improving our products.”
More recently, Barks Tech reached another exciting milestone by sponsoring its first major conference, the 2024 Innovative Schools Summit in Las Vegas. “It was an incredible experience,” Bradley says. “We got to meet so many of our customers face-to-face, which helped boost our brand awareness. We’re looking forward to sponsoring more events like this.”
As Barks Tech continues to grow, it’s clear that Bradley and his team remain deeply committed to providing high-quality, durable, and affordable classroom headphones. With new models on the horizon and a continued focus on customer satisfaction, the future looks bright for this Phoenix-based company.
