Computer Headset
Computer headsets generally come in two connection types: standard 3.5 mm & USB connection. General 3.5 mm computer headsets come with two 3.5 mm connectors: one connecting to the microphone jack (line-in) and one connecting to the speaker jack (line-out) of the computer. 3.5 mm computer headsets connect to the computer via a soundcard, which converts the digital signal of the computer to an analog signal for the headset. USB computer headsets connect to the computer via a USB port, and the audio conversion occurs in the headset or in the control unit of the headset.

“The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.”
