Handset
On a wired telephone, the handset is a device that a user holds to the ear to hear the audio sound through the receiver. Since the 1920s, handsets usually also contain the phone's transmitter (microphone) which is positioned close to the mouth. In earlier telephones the transmitter was mounted directly on the telephone itself, which often was attached to a wall at a convenient height. A handset with transmitter and receiver in one unit is also called a transceiver. Until the advent of the cordless telephone, the handset was usually wired to the base unit, typically by a flexible tinsel wire.
