A device designed to fix the device on the auricle; most often represents a signature shackle. Such a shackle is very popular among Bluetooth headsets — this is the easiest way to hold a relatively large device on your ear. At the same time, ultra-compact models can be fixed directly in the ear and do not need a behind-the-ear
hook. And for car kits and speakerphones (see "Device"), such a mount is not required.
Note that the shackle is most often made swivel, which allows you to reposition it from the left to the right ear and vice versa.

Mini-Jack (3.5 mm). Mini-Jack is one of the most popular wired connectors. However, it is not used in Bluetooth headsets, and it is extremely rare in other specialized accessories and predominantly is an auxiliary feature. So, in speakerphones, mini-Jack is usually responsible for connecting several devices to each other, and in car kits, for outputting sound to the radio or standard car acoustics. Note that in this case, the headphone jack is not considered a 3.5 mm jack, although it is most often performed in this format.
— USB A. The classic USB A computer connector, which is gradually being replaced by the USB-C connector. The meaning and application of this connection depends on the type of device. So,
USB in speakerphones is a standard port for wired connection — both to computers and to specialized communication systems. And in Bluetooth headsets, this means that it is equipped with a USB adapter for connecting to a PC without a Bluetooth module.
— USB-C. A port similar in purpose to the one described above, but with a different, more modern, symmetrical shape that does not require specific connection, and correspondingly increased speeds.
