Ears and hair: what headsets will people wear?

Published:20 April 2002Publication History

ABSTRACT

Many different audio headsets are commercially available. To choose a headset for a short-term use environment, we conducted a pilot study to elicit end-user criteria for headsets. We discovered a number of severe end-user issues with less traditional designs, and concluded that a minor variant of a traditional design is more appropriate for our application than many of the more exotic options that have recently become available.
