Headset with microphone and headphone jack in one?

My brother needs a headset for his laptop. I've looked at the jack with him, who has only one. But next to the jack is a symbol of a microphone and with a slash delimited the icon of a headphone.

Question: Can this jack be used only as a headphone or as a microphone, or is it possible for this jack to function as a headphone jack and microphone jack at the same time?
Question: Is there a headset with a microphone and headphone jack and if so, what are the names of such headsets?

Yes, they do not have a specific name.

Okay, I want to order one right now. How can I tell if they are headsets with a latch if they are not fully mapped? They have to be called somehow.

Ge

You can see it on the plug and the accessories.

I have this:

Look at the pictures.

Very easily:

Either you buy an adapter (costs 5-10 euro)

(OTB audio cable 2 x 3.5mm jack socket to 3.5mm jack plug stereo (PC headset> iPhone)) for example
or he buys a decent headset with usb (are generally better)

Ge

It is probably the indication:

- Connector: 3.5 mm (1/8 ") mini stereo, gold-plated (4 poles)

Br

Very simple: with 2 pinions you usually have mono sound

at 3 then stereo sound (both sides different loud)

and at 4 this is a micro. The headset you have got 4 so it has a jack. I would still recommend usb

I want to get one from amazon, because I still order a book for 60 cents, but the shipping is 3 euro. Is that with a latch?

Ge

You realize that the part is mono?

Gu

Oh ups. I thought first, mono stands for a jack, but refers to a headphone.
