A handset is the part of a telephone that a person holds to their ear and mouth to communicate. It typically consists of a speaker for hearing the other person's voice and a microphone for speaking. In traditional landline phones, the handset is attached to the base by a cord, while in cordless phones, the handset is wireless and can be used from any location within the range of the base station.

The phrase has since evolved into a metaphorical expression, signifying actions or activities that go unnoticed or escape attention, often intentionally.
