A headset is proposed for use with a communication and/or multimedia
device, said headset comprising an interface for receiving input data, a
processing unit for processing said input data to generate audio output
signals, a speaker for outputting said audio output signals in a mono
mode and connecting means for connecting the headset to a power supply in
order to charge a battery or an accumulator being provided within said
headset. Said connecting means are also connectable to an additional
speaker device forming alone or together with said speaker of said
headset a stereo headphone wherein said processing unit processes the
input data to generate stereo output signals when said speaker device is
connected to said headset.
