  • Publication number: 20250184660
    Abstract: The earcup comprises a housing wall separating an inner cavity inside the earcup from space surrounding the earcup, and an electroacoustic transducer with a diaphragm. The diaphragm is configured to emit sound into the surrounding space from a front side of the diaphragm. A gas in the inner cavity has a first pressure that exerts a force on the back side of the diaphragm. The earcup further comprises a displaceable wall that fluidly divides the inner cavity into a first sub-cavity containing the gas and a second sub-cavity containing one or more fluids, and one or more openings in the housing wall that fluidly connect the second sub-cavity with the surrounding space. The displaceable wall is configured to be displaced by oppositely directed forces exerted respectively by the first pressure and by a second pressure of the one or more fluids.
