Headset Insights breaks up individual products into a few levels of classification: category and segment. Segments are all a subtype of a category.

A single product can only have one category or segment assigned to it.

Headset uses the definitions below to determine at the time of tagging what category and segment a product should be in. If you see a product and disagree with the current category/segment classification, please reach out to our support team at [email protected].
