Abstract

A headset apparatus is taught comprising at least one sound emission means, a tube connected to the sound emission means adjacent one end of the tube, and an outlet at the opposite end of the tube for positioning the outlet at a desired position adjacent a user's ear, various positions possible to achieve a variety of acoustic effects. The apparatus may comprise two or four sound emission means, with a plurality of tubes connecting the sound emission means to outlets, to effect diverse directional acoustic effects. Electronic control means may be employed to control emissions of the sound emission means, and the apparatus may comprise bass sound emission means adjacent the user's ear. Supporting means are also taught for supporting the headset apparatus on a user, such that the user's ear can be moved relative to the headset apparatus to enhance the acoustic effects.
