radio headset

Two-way listening device

A radio headset combines headphones and a microphone with a built-in radio transceiver, allowing hands-free two-way communication.

Common in aviation, military operations, and live event production, where users need to communicate while keeping their hands free for other tasks: The stage manager coordinated the crew through her radio headset.
