Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kopfhörer mit zumindest einem dezentral in einem Gehäuse angeordneten breitbandigen Schallwandler (2) zur Wiedergabe eines Tonsignals im Umfang von zumindest im Wesentlichen des gesamten Hörspektrums. Zur Optimierung der Außerkopflokalisation und des Hörhöhenspektrum des Kopfhörers ist erfindungsgemäß zumindest ein Hochton-Schallwandler (3) zur Wiedergabe des Hochtonbereichs des Hörfrequenzspektrums vorgesehen, der 180 Grad phasengedreht gegenüber dem breitbandigen Schallwandler (2) angesteuert ist und im Bereich des vom Zentrum des Gehäuses weg weisenden Rand des breitbandigen Schallwandlers (2) vor oder außerhalb von diesem angeordnet ist.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a headphone with at least one decentralized arranged in a housing broadband sound transducer (2) for reproducing a sound signal in the scope of at least substantially the entire hearing spectrum. To optimize the Außerkopflokalisation and Hörhöhenspktrum the headphone according to the invention at least one high-frequency transducer (3) is provided for reproducing the high-frequency range of the Hörfrequenzspektrums, the 180 degrees phase-rotated relative to the broadband transducer (2) is driven and in the area facing away from the center of the housing Edge of the broadband sound transducer (2) is arranged in front of or outside of this.
