In the unnamed store I visited yesterday, they showed me 1 ear and 2 hear sets with microphones. The labels on both referred to them as headsets. So, I think we just have to be clear about the kind of head set we are talking about.

I ask because they differ from my understanding. A headset are headphones that include a mike and allow for hands free operation, whether this be for one ear or both. This is also what wikipedia says is meant by a headset http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headset_%28audio%29 Sounds like when you're listening to music, you're using a pair of stereo headphones and not a headset. Either way, I think the understandings here are nebulous enough that people should just be clear about what they're talking about and what they're asking about.
