writing, typing or even drinking a cup of coffee.
There are two main categories of headsets:
- Over-the-Head
These headsets are worn like a standard pair of headphones. This
type of headset has either one (monaural) or two earpieces (binaural)
with a microphone attachment.
- Over-the-Ear
Over-the-ear headsets are like clip-on headphones. This type of
headset comes with only one earpiece with a microphone on the same
side. There is no band that runs across the top of the head because

Headset features:
- Convertible from "over the ear" to "over the head"
for maximum versatility
- Noise canceling microphone for optimum clarity, even in noisy
environments
- Microphone volume adjustability
- Volume and mute controls
- Compatible with telecoil equipped hearing aids
- Standard 2.5mm jack, making them compatible with most of today's
