If they are for hearing then its output device as they are not putting anything in to the computer, if they have a microphone attached as well then they are input/output (i.e. microphone is input, speakers are output)
A microphone is a device with an electrical output. An acoustic wave is the input. Its only function is to 'capture' sounds and convert them into an electrical signal for processing by the computer.
A microphone is an input device.
A Microphone does not output sound. It accepts sound. It is an input device.
Microphone converts Audible Sound into digital signals that's why it will be considered as an INPUT device not an Output device.
Head sets have speakers on two ears and a microphone. The speakers are output devices and the microphone is an input device. So if a headset is an input/output device.
C. Microphone
Microphone is a input device because it's plugged in computer. All devices that you plug in computer are input devices.
A microphone is (put simply) a magnet inside a coil of wire. When the noise vibrations hit the magnet it moves creating an electronic field around the wire. That electricity goes into your computer.A microphone is an input device.
Speakers are considered to be an OUTPUT device, as the signal is traveling out of your device, and into the speaker.
A microphone has a voltage output and an acoustical input. Only the sound wave can move the diaphragm of the microphone and a voltage signal comes out. That goes to to an amplifier and to a loudspeaker.
It depends - if it's just headphones, it's an output device. If the headset includes a microphone - it's both an input and output device.
