Headsets with retractable microphone

Retractable microphone

— headband microphone (see the relevant paragraph) with a retractable design: the headband is pulled out of the cup during use, and can be hidden back during non-working hours. This design is more accurate and, in a certain sense, more practical than a removable one: the microphone is less bulky, and you can only lose it along with the headphones themselves. On the other hand, the retractable design can only be used in on-ear models, it is not suitable for compact in-ear headphones and earbuds, and the head itself is difficult to make long.

Note that such a microphone can be supplemented with a microphone on the cable or in the headphone case itself; these details should be specified in the characteristics of specific models.
