How to Say "Headset" in German

Headset

The English word 'headset' is translated into German as Headset.

Headset refers to an electronic device worn on the head. You may also encounter the masculine noun Bügelkopfhörer.

Meaning: electronic device worn on the head (noun)

How does it change in a sentence?

Headset is a neuter noun, meaning it uses the article das (e.g., das Headset). To express the plural form, add an -s to the end to get Headsets.

/ˈhɛtsɛt/

The word Bügel in Bügelkopfhörer is the same word Germans use for a clothes hanger, as both rely on a curved arch shape.
Because Headset is a loanword from English, its gender is determined by the German equivalent of the word 'set', which is why it is a neuter noun das Headset.
In many German offices, if someone asks for 'die Kopfhörer', they might be asking for their headphones, but if they ask for 'das Headset', they specifically mean a version with a microphone for calls.

Zeigen Sie mir bitte, wie man das Headset benutzt.
Please show me how to use the headset.
