سماعة الاذن المحمولة


Explanation:
Mobil headset does not mean a Mobil phone they are two different things. Also a Mobil headset doesn’t necessarily mean a headset specifically for the phone, at least it is not specified here in this sample sentence, it can be used for other purposes such as the computer or ipod, etc
I hope this helps

neutral  Alaa Zeineldine: The definition you quoted applies to a conventional phone set consisting of a handset and a receiver. In this case, the handset is the whole device.//But your cordless does not have a separate warranty for each component.

Explanation:
you should stick to the context. and of what I see we're talking here about warranty. warranty doesn't usually cover only part of a device like a mouthpiece or earpiece and leaving the base or other components without one. i.e. here we're talking about something like mobile phone as a whole.
Also, a handset is something that fit in hands, so a tv remote can be a handset also.
