Well, I'd go with wikipedia over advertising myself. I'd also scour any
advertising information I was reviewing to make sure I was getting what
I thought I was getting. BTW, my understanding of head set predates
anything I read on wikipedia and goes back to the days when I was
getting wired head sets to use with my telephone or the VOIP software on
my PC.
I also don't think you necessarily have to give up any quality on a
stereo head set over a stereo pair of head phones. There's no reason the
same audio technology can't be included in both. Another way to put it,
is that you don't have to sacrifice audio quality when you include a
mike or controls on the head set.

Where do you get these definitions of ear pieces and headsets? 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.
