A headphone apparatus includes a head band, a pair of headphone units and a suspender member. The head band is formed in a substantially U-shape by a member exhibiting pre-set toughness. A headphone unit is provided at each side of the head band. A suspender member mounted across both ends of the head band at a position above a location of attachment of the head band to said headphone unit. The suspender member is deformed along the contour of the head when the headphone apparatus is mounted on ...

A headphone having a dual element speaker unit including a face plate having an opening generally centrally located therein. A case coupler is mounted in the opening, and has an annular projection protruding through the opening. A first dynamic transducer is mounted within that annular projection. A second dynamic transducer is mounted to the case coupler opposite the first transducer. The case coupler includes an isolating plate, positioned between the first and second transducers, for sonicall...

An improved cushion for use on a heater has a thin front skin formed with a circumferential groove. A thin flexible ring is attached to the circumferential groove. A flexible rear skin supports a foam ring and is sealed to the front skin so as to form a gel space. Structure, such as a retaining ring and mating holes and pins, attaches the cushion to the headset.

A headphone device includes an earpad worn outside of the ear on the head of a user and a housing provided with a speaker unit as well as a fitting portion on which the earpad is fit. The earpad includes a cushion and a facing that covers the cushion. The earpad can be attached to and detached from the housing. The facing is detachable from the cushion to keep the earpad clean.

A headphone with microphone which is particularly suitable for use in connection with telephone apparatus includes a carrying ear hanger having a disc member which is adapted to the back of the ear and a hook member that extends forward on the topside of the ear when in a working position. A microphone and earphone are placed in a microtelephone arm which is connected to the ear hanger via a hinge, and a spring connected with the hinge holds the earphone against a user's ear and thus the microph...

In a diaphragm arrangement for electroacoustical transducers, in particular for headsets, one or more diaphragms lie in one plane which extends in the immediate proximity of the user's external ear and preferably parallel to the tangential plane of the user's external ear. In order to enable the use of the headset to better discern direction and distance by hearing, the diaphragm is divided into several coherent, preferably stripshaped sections or composed of several, preferably stripshaped part...

A sealed headphone having an improved sound pressure versus frequency response characteristic is disclosed. The sealed headphone comprises a mounting plate having coupling apertures, an electro-acoustic transducer attached to one side of the mounting plate and a casing covering the transducer. A space defined by the rear side of the transducer and the casing communicates via the coupling apertures with another spaced formed on the opposite side of the mounting plate so as to form an acousto-mech...

A headphone includes a pair of ear cup assemblies attached to a headband. Each ear cup assembly includes a cushion, an earplate, a back plate and an acoustic transducer. These elements snap together and are held together by integral fasteners. Each ear cup assembly is attached to the headband by a ring-shaped yoke which is entrapped between the assembled back plate and ear plate. The result is a durable, lightweight structure which is easy to assemble on a mass production basis.

Headphone earpieces which comprise each at least one electroacoustic transducer operating on the orthodynamic principle and including a small-mass diaphragm of an extension corresponding at least to that of an average auricle, with the coupling space of each of the earpieces being designed for a minimum reflection, are equipped with an ear cushion which, with the headphone in position of use, tightly encloses the coupling space toward the outside. The disadvantages of headphone with an orthodyna...

The present invention relates in general to ear muffs and in particular to an earmuff that are to be used in conjunction with headphones for portable radios, cassette players and the like. The outer surface of the earmuff is a solid shape resembling a standard earmuff while the inner side that faces the ear breaks apart into 2 C-shape donut halves to accommodate the placement of the headphone speaker. This design allows the earmuff to be positioned around the headphone speaker by means of the 2 ...
