I want to purchase a headset that will allow me to listen to my music etc. and allow me to listen and chat with people via VoIP.

I know that my iMac has two audio ports (mid 2011 27" iMac), but I think the new Macs no longer have these two ports, and I'm not sure the ports I have work in the original fashion in the current OS X Yosemite.

How should I hook up one of these headsets?

Should I place the line in and line out from the headset in the actual ports, or do I need the adapter that will send the two lines from the headset into the one audio port?

I'm a little confused, so any help I receive will be greatly appreciated.
