Abstract

L'invention propose un micro-casque sans fil. Le micro-casque sans fil comprend un corps principal, un moyen de fixation à l'oreille et une borne auxiliaire (AUX). Le corps principal comprend une unité de commande pour commander le fonctionnement du micro-casque, un haut-parleur et un microphone, et une interface pour effectuer une connexion sans fil avec un dispositif d'émission et de réception sans fil correspondant. Le moyen de fixation à l'oreille, qui est couplé à un côté du corps principal, est configuré de sorte que le corps principal est placé dans l'oreille externe du corps humain lorsque le micro-casque est porté sur la tête. La borne auxiliaire est configurée de sorte qu'une extrémité de celle-ci est couplée au corps principal par une connexion électrique avec l'unité de commande, et de sorte que son extrémité restante sort du corps principal pour être insérée dans une prise auxiliaire (AUX) d'un autre dispositif de sortie.
