Abstract: An improved acoustic headset of the type used with sound reproduction equipment in airline entertainment systems. The headset has a yoke supporting a pin of curved sound-transmitting horns which terminate in soft tips for insertion in a passenger's ears. To provide improved alignment with the ear canals, the horns are rotatably mounted on the yoke, and are curved through more than a right angle. The headset provides improved frequency response and comfort to the user, and is designed for easy packaging and cleaning for repeated use.
