Abstract: An earphone device (1) to be worn in the ear, which earphone device (1) comprising a main body (18) to be arranged in the concha (19) of the outer ear (14) of a user and an optical sensor (35), which optical sensor (35) comprises a light emitter (16) and a light detector (17). The earphone device (1) comprises window means (8, 9) through which light emitted by the light emitter (16) can be transmitted. The window means (8, 9) comprises an end face (31) adapted to abut a conchal wall (37) at a sensing position (36). The main body (18) comprises a speaker protrusion (26) to be inserted into to ear canal (15). The distance between the speaker protrusion (26) and the end face (31) is adjustable.
Abstract: A headset system for use with especially in a call center environment, in which method a wireless connection is established between headset and base unit, and the wireless connection is maintained while indicating from a headset user interface to the base unit that the headset is available for receiving an incoming call. The headset system is connected to a telephone system and has a processor configured to receive mode information and to operate according to the received mode information. The headset has a headset user interface and controls the headset signal processor to operate in accordance with user input. The headset is further configured to provide the end-of-call information to the base unit while maintaining the wireless connection.
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for optimizing noise cancellation in a headset, the headset comprising a headphone and a microphone unit comprising at least a first microphone and a second microphone, the method comprising: generating at least a first audio signal from the at least first microphone, where the first audio signal comprises a speech portion from a user of the headset and a noise portion from the surroundings; generating at least a second audio signal from the at least second microphone, where the second audio signal comprises a speech portion from the user of the headset and a noise portion from the surroundings; generating a noise cancelled output by filtering and summing at least a part of the first audio signal and at least a part of the second audio signal, where the filtering is adaptively configured to continually minimize the power of the noise cancelled output, and where the filtering is adaptively configured to continually provide that at least the amplitude spectrum of the speech portion of

Abstract: A headset system comprising a headset and a base station. Each of said headset and base station comprises a transceiver configured to transmit radio signals between said headset and said base station according to a first wireless communication protocol, and each of said headset and base station further comprises a transceiver configured to transmit radio signals between said headset and said base station according to a second wireless communication protocol. At least one of said headset and said base station further comprises selecting means, such as a protocol selector configured to select one of said first and second wireless communication protocols for transmission of radio signals between said headset and said base station. The protocol selector is adapted to select the first wireless communication protocol for transmission of voice communication and the second wireless communication protocol for transmission of media content.
Abstract: A headset system (1) comprising a first telecommunication device (3) comprising a desk phone or a computer (4) with an installed softphone, a second telecommunication device, such as a mobile phone or a smart phone (6), and a headset (2) comprising a cord (5) with a first connector (7), by means of which the headset (2) is adapted to be interchangeably connected to the first telecommunication device (3) and the second telecommunication device (6). The headset system (1) is adapted to transfer a call from the first telecommunication device (3) to the second telecommunication device (6), when the first connector (7) is unplugged from the first telecommunication device (3).
