A headset is just a combination of a headphone (with one or two ear plugs) and a microphone. Headsets with one ear plug are used mostly for calling hands-free, while the ones featuring a full headphone are better suited for communicating with your team mates in games.
Answer/end and mute buttons make this lightweight, compact headest easy to use (with 2.5mm Nokia Signature connector).You can also extend its compatibility with the Nokia AV Adapter AD-53 (included in the Nokia Headset HS-40 sales package).

A distinction is made between headphones which are worn on the external ear (supra-aural) and those which surround the ear (circumaural). Open headphones have foam ear pads that rest on the ears or ring pads that surround the ears. Closed headphones, on the other hand, nearly always have circumaural ear pads.
