Headset w/ Microphone needed for Latitude Laptop
My Dell Latitude 5620 has a single headset jack. The Icon shows both the headphone speakers and a microphone boom on it, so apparently that single jack is supposed to accomodate both. Does anyone know of a headset that works both the earpieces and the microphone with a single jack?

It is a smart phone type of combo jack. You can use a smart phone headset or conventional headphones in the jack.
To use a conventional headset you need an adapter. One such is the Headset Buddy below. Notice the 4 segmented plug. One segment is the ground. Two of them are the headphones. The tip is the mono mic (the combo jack does not support stereo line-in).

This is a more intelligent answer than I got from Dell's official tech support group. Thanks!
