Telephone grip parts

Handsets is the plural of handset, a device held in the hand for communication.

Originally the earpiece-and-mouthpiece unit of a telephone—the part you pick up and hold to your ear: She replaced the handset in its cradle.

Now commonly refers to mobile phones themselves: The company shipped two million handsets last quarter.
