Headset is the name of a musical studio project masterminded by Plug Research record label owner Allen Avanessian and electronic musician Jimmy Tamborello. Tamborello is a member of Dntel and The Postal Service.

The band's sound is a hybrid of minimal synthesizer and drum machine patterns, accented with underground rap artists providing their rhymes overtop the music. Their debut album Space Settings (2004) contained elements of electro, IDM and jazz music as well as hip-hop and earned musical comparisons to Autechre and Matmos.
