USB-Headset

The USB headset is a combination of a microphone and headphone, which is connected via a USB connector to a computer or other device. Common areas of application are online gaming or phoning and video telephony via a computer. Using a cloud telephone system and a headset, a computer becomes a fully-fledged telephone, with many useful additional functions. Compared to a normal telephone handset, a headset has the advantage that your hands are free and available for other activities while making calls. By connecting the headset via a USB port, the computer does not require an analogue microphone input or speaker output. The headset itself adapts to the digital USB standard. When plugging it in, the computer automatically recognises the USB headset and install the necessary drivers. A manual installation by the user is not usually necessary. Often, headsets are equipped with their own controls for volume and microphone sensitivity. Professional solutions for telephony also have their own button to mute or hold a call.
