Abstract

A headphone is described which is configurable by a user to adjust the sound presentation by varying the degree of external sound passed to the ear of the user. A removable cover may be employed, which may be perforated or comprise a mesh to provide a desired sound presentation. A suite of such interchangeable covers may be provided. The headphone enclosure or external cover may comprise apertures which are coverable and uncoverable by mechanical means to control the passage of external sound, including the fitting of removable gaskets or seals. Headphones for On-ear, Over-ear and In-ear use are described.
