content: Headsets convert electrical signals to sound waves, concentrating the sound and filtering out extraneous background noise. Many sets for use with radios, telephones, and phonographs contain relatively heavy magnets that are uncomfortable to wear for extended periods. This set was designed for use by secretaries (typically female) in office settings, and shows a lightweight design intended to allow for extended periods of transcription.
