I used to work in a call centre and a lot of headsets use that connected design.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Plantronics QD
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
So, thanks for the PTSD I don't think I've seen those ports in over a decade. Pluging in your headset into those ports was like submitting to torture.
But yeah that's them.
It's really interesting that they never became standardised outside of the call centre industry because really they would have been great in consumer electronics and I'm not sure why they never became popular.
