About Headphones

Headphones

A lot of people seem to get headphones and headsets mixed up. Headphones have earpieces and are mainly used for listening to music. Headsets have earpieces (or a single earpiece depending on the style) plus a microphone and are used for improving communications (both listening and talking) on the phone, computer, air traffic control console, and so on.

Headsets are for listening to music, playing video games, using speech recognition technology, talking to the tower on runway 27R as well as calling your mom while you do the dishes. Headsets give you freedom to do something else with your hands while you communicate. They make talking on a cell phone in a car a lot safer.
