This type of microphone is usually attached to a pair of headphones and worn on the users head, allowing the microphone to be fixed a short distance from the speaker's mouth. The price of headsets varies greatly, though they are often very affordable. The audio quality, like the price, also varies greatly with the more expensive headsets providing clearer audio. Also of note are the two types of connectors used by headsets to connect to computers: USB and 3.5mm. There is typically not much difference between these two, unless a separate sound card is being used (which will typically warrant using 3.5mm).

However, the USB versions do require drivers which may not be available for the operating system on which it is used.  The mini-jack 3.5mm will work on every operating system as well as most tablets and smartphones with a line-in or microphone port.
