Corded Cell Phone Headsets
Almost all of the modern cell phones support corded headsets.
Most headsets support stereo sound while some less expensive ones don’t. Stereo headsets enable your cell phone to be used as a portable media player.
Some headsets also offer a noise canceling facility.
Different wearing style for these headsets include monaural, ear bud, on the ear etc. Most of the 'ear bud' style headsets have microphone located on the cord.
Pros and Cons
The advantage of a corded headset is utilizing the features of your cell phone while performing other tasks. You can easily listen to music while jogging and also receive an incoming call.The potential risk is that people try to listen to phone calls while driving.
An important thing to keep in mind is the compatibility of the headset with the cell phone. For example most of Nokia cell phones use their own pop-port technology, so only headsets that are compatible with the technology can be used.
Some good headsets offer compatibility for multiple cell phone brands.
