Hi Alan, I see where you are coming from, but if the manufacturers
themselves aren't using the so-called correct terms, then how would a
user look for a product when it's discussed as an ear piece on the list,
but listed as a headset on a shopping web site? This is why we should
call them what the manufacturers call them despite whether you or I feel
is a wrong term.

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.

Subject: Re: lost my Plantronics M50
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.
