Headphones with an attached microphone
A device you wear on your head, with parts over your ears and usually a small microphone, used to listen and talk on a computer, phone, or game console.

[someone] wears a headset to [do something]

|

A device you wear on your head like big glasses, with small screens in front of your eyes, used to play or watch things in virtual reality.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] puts on a VR headset to [do something]
Častá chyba:

Synonyma
head-mounted display (More technical; often shortened to HMD in specialist or industry contexts.)
Antonyma
TV screen (A flat, distant display instead of a head-mounted, immersive display.)

Bicycle steering bearing assembly
On a bicycle, the metal parts with small balls that let the front fork and handlebars turn inside the frame.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] adjusts the headset on [a bicycle]
Častá chyba:
Learners who cycle sometimes confuse *headset* with *helmet* because both are connected to the head. In bicycle mechanics, however, *headset* is a part of the bike frame and fork, not something you wear.
Synonyma
steering bearings (Descriptive and less technical; used informally to explain the part to non-specialists.)
Antonyma
bicycle frame (The fixed structure that the headset moves inside; functionally opposite in that it does not rotate.)
