Stacey,
We installed the Dell All-in-ones last year. You have several options. The single universal audio jack does allow the use of mic and headphone.
We use Cyber Acoustics Lightweight On-Ear Headphones/Headset with Noise canceling Microphone and in-line Volume/Play/Pause Controls and 3.5mm Plug purchased from Amazon. It is also possible to adapt older two-jack
headphones with adapters. We have used MillSO Headphone Splitter Adapter - 3.5mm 4 Pole Splitter Audio Mic Jack Y Cable (3.5mm Stereo Male to 2X 3.5mm Female) also purchased from Amazon.
The one complaint that we have had is that the mic may work too well on the Cyber Acoustics headset. It seems to be less directional.
I am sure others will have different options for you.

Subject: [LLTI] Headset recommendations
Hi everyone,
We are installing new Dell all-in-one computers in my center and I need to purchase new headsets with mics to go with them. I have been holding on to some old Telex Discovery headsets, but I suppose it is time to move to USB – especially
since the new computers only have one input for audio/mic. I am looking for something durable and easy to keep clean. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Stacey
