Abstract: Headphones including a first and a second earcup (10, 20) and a band (2), wherein the band (2) is connected to the two earcups (10, 20) and carries the earcups (10, 20) when the headphones are used, wherein the first and the second earcup (10, 20) each have an electroacoustic sound generator, wherein the second earcup (20) is configured to be connected to a cable (40) and configured to receive an electrical signal associated with sound to be radiated by the electroacoustic sound generator of the first and second earcups, the cable causing an additional weight on the side in a weight difference between the first earcup (10) and the second earcup (20), the first earcup (10) having a balance weight (30) configures to reduce the weight difference between the first earcup (10) and the second earcup (20).

Abstract: Headphones, with one or two earcups (10), wherein each earcup (10) includes an electroacoustic sound generator (12) having a membrane (13) configured to radiate sound; a rear wall (14), wherein the membrane is arranged between the rear wall (14) and the user’s ear when the headphones are used, wherein a rear side of the membrane (13) faces a rear volume (26) between the membrane (13) and the rear wall (14) and a front side of the membrane (13) faces a front volume (20) between the membrane (13) and the user’s ear; and a tube (18) having a first and a second opening and an inner volume, wherein the tube (18) is arranged between the membrane (13) and the rear wall (14), and wherein the first opening of the tube (18) faces the membrane (13) and the second opening of the tube faces a peripheral environment behind the rear wall (14).
