Abstract: A headset is provided which comprises a cable (100) having a plug (110) coupled to the first end of a cable (100), a connector (140) coupled to the second end of a cable, a housing (130) arranged between the first and second end of the cable and a cable section (120) between the plug (110) and the housing (130). The plug (110) comprises at least one pin and six terminals (110a-100f). The cable section (120) comprises four wires (121, 123, 125, 126) and two screens (122, 124). The housing (130) comprises a connecting unit (134) having a switching unit (136) which is connected to the four wires (121, 123, 125, 126) and the two screens (122, 124) and the soldering areas (135) to which wires of the headset can be coupled. The switching unit (136) is adapted to switch between at least two wiring settings connecting the four wires as well as the two screens (122, 124) to the soldering areas (135).
