Welcome to the hobby. Mike has it exactly right about the K3S.
With an adapter, you can use the front panel jack for the
headphones. Using it makes it easy to switch to the internal
speaker when you want to. (Just unplug the 1/4 inch adapter.)

Hi Juliean -
Welcome to the hobby. You're starting off with the best. Yes,
you can use your computer headset. The K3s has an 8-band
equalizer for both receive and transmit, so with a bit of
tinkering, you can get excellent sound.
My headset came with 1/8 plugs for both mic and phones. I plug
them into the jacks on the back panel. No adapters needed. And
I'm not continually bumping them. A foot switch plugs into the
1/4" jack labeled "PTT In" on the back panel.

I'm a new ham, just licensed a few months ago, and am planning on a K3S as
my first HF radio. To that end, I'm a bit confused by the issue of
headphones/microphones. Specifically, what kind of plugs do I need to use?
For example, I have an excellent, high-quality, computer headset with
mike. Can I use it? It has the standard PC 1/8" jacks, so I assume I'd
need some sort of adapters. For headphones, that's likely just a 1/8"
stereo to 1/4" stereo adapter, right? But what about for the mike? And
how do I add a PTT pedal or switch?
