Such an acoustic headset can be used in various ways, some of which are described according to the figures. FIG. 1 is a cross-elevation view of an acoustic headset according to the invention and characterized according to a music listening device provided.

Figures 2.3.4.5 are views of the different uses.

Figures 6 and 7 are views of an acoustic conductive atrium.

Figure 8 is a view of the acoustic helmet. The present invention has for main base its two original forms of elongated half-shells (1) coming to be placed on each ear and taking the shape of the face, the elongated part of the shell makes it possible to capture the voice at the outlet of the mouth and the transmit directly to the hearing system in the round part of the shell placed on each ear. These two forms are held together by a flexible and adjustable hoop (5), thus allowing the support on the head. A foam cushion on the round part of the shell (6) ensures comfort on the head. Small perforations (11) are provided for the passage of the musical sound allowing the adaptation of a musical headset or music player whatever it is. The acoustic headphones Fig. 1 is equipped with a right and left speaker system (3), placed on the outer part of the shell, making it possible to listen to music through its two forms. The two speakers protected by a cover (2) are connected by a cord (7) to the right and left volume control unit (8.9), thus allowing you to control yourself the level of listening to music according to the power the voice of the singer or chorister, the voice naturally passing through the device of shells (1) capturing the voice at the mouth and transmitting it directly to the auditory system. This headset device on the head does not interfere with the sound, which is normally facing the microphone.
