DE102005063075A1 - Headset e.g. nape holder headset, has nape holder, and two ear pads that are arranged at ends of nape holder that is pre-tensioned, where ear pads are designed as convex such that ear pads fit in form of outer ear - Google Patents

Abstract

The headset has a nape holder (10), and two ear pads (20) that are arranged at ends of the nape holder that is pre-tensioned. The ear pads are designed as convex such that the ear pads fit in the form of an outer ear. The ear pads include foam compound that provides static friction between the foam compound and the outer ear. The ear pads have two over-lying sections (22, 23), where the section (23) is adapted to the form of the outer ear such that the earpiece is held by the sections of the pads in or to the outer ear.

Description

The The present invention relates to a handset, and more particularly to a handset headphone with a neckband.

Neckband headphones point typically a neckband on which over runs in the ear, so that the headphones thus worn on the ear. Alternatively, earhooks on the neckband attached and hooked to the ear to carry the headphones thus.

such Neckband headphones, however, can additional Create pressure points, for example, on the ear root. Especially are for spectacle wearers Such neckband headphones are not suitable. Furthermore, such neckband headphones have only a bad Comfort and require a complicated handling when up and Stop the handset.

It The object of the present invention is to provide a headphone which safely positioned on the ear without any additional aids and thus can be worn.

These Task is by a headphone according to claim 1 solved.

Consequently becomes a headphone with a pretensioned neckband intended. At the two ends of the neckband each ear cushion is arranged. This ear cushion is designed so convex that the Ear pads in the shape of an outer ear a carrier fits.

One such headphones is thus only by the contact of the ear pads with the outer ear of a carrier carried. Due to the convex design of the ear cushions can acoustic coupling into the outer ear can be improved.

According to one Embodiment of the invention, the ear cushion has a foam mixture with an elevated Stiction on.

Thereby, that the only contact points between the headphones and a carrier only represent the ear pads, such a headphone is also suitable for spectacle wearers. Furthermore, can further pressure points are avoided, since no further contact points available.

Further Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

following the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings explained in more detail.

1 shows a perspective view of a headphone according to the invention. This is in particular a neckband headphones. The headphone has a neckband 10 on, which at its two ends in each case a housing 40 with an earpads 20 and has an electro-acoustic transducer, not shown. The earpads 20 is in this case designed in particular convex. The convex configuration of the ear pads is preferably adapted to the shape of an outer ear.

The earpads 20 has a first ear cushion level 21 with a first laying level 22 and a second laying level 23 on which rests on the ear level of a user and which serves to position the handset.

The neckband 10 is preferably biased to increase the contact pressure of the ear pads on an outer ear of a wearer. An increased contact pressure of the ear cushion also has a positive effect on the acoustic coupling of the audio signals reproduced by the headphones into the outer ear of a wearer. This is very advantageous especially for bass reproduction.

The two earpads 20 are each in a housing 40 arranged on the neckband. At the junction between these two enclosures 30 and the neckband 10 can be a joint 30 be arranged such that the housing 30 can be folded. This is particularly advantageous for the transport of the headphones.

2 shows a detailed view of the ear cushion of 1 , As in 1 has the earpads 20 essentially two levels or two sections, 21 . 23 , on. Furthermore, the ear cushion 20 a first laying level 22 and a second laying level 23 on. The second laying level 23 is designed such that it can rest in an ear plane of a user. Here is this Aufliegee level 23 designed such that it fits into the outer ear of a wearer and thus can serve to position the listener.

Consequently becomes a headphone or a neckband earpiece provided, which by a bias of the neckband and by the convex designed Ear cushions are suitable that the headphones only through the support points the earpads on the outer ear a carrier is held.

Claims (3)

Earpiece, in particular neckband earpiece, with a pretensioned neckband ( 10 ), a first and second ear cushions ( 20 ), each at one end of the neckband ( 10 ) are arranged, wherein the ear pads ( 20 ) are each configured so convex that the ear pads adapt to the shape of an outer ear. A receiver according to claim 1, wherein the ear cushions ( 20 ) consist of a foam mixture, which are adapted to provide a static friction between the foam mixture and an outer ear. A receiver according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the ear cushions ( 20 ) in each case a first and second Aufliegeebene ( 22 . 23 ), wherein the second laying level ( 23 ) is adapted to the shape of an outer ear so that the listener is held only by the Aufliegeebenen the ear pads on or in an outer ear.
