Abstract: There are proposed wireless headphones which have at least one electroacoustic transducer for the reproduction of audio signals, a receiver for receiving wirelessly transmitted audio data, an intermediate memory for putting the received audio data into intermediate storage, an audio decoding unit and a control unit. The audio data wirelessly received by the receiver are firstly buffered or put into intermediate storage in the intermediate memory. The control unit controls reading of the compressed audio data stored in the intermediate memory so that said data are passed to the audio decoding unit where the compressed audio data are decoded and then outputted by means of the electroacoustic transducers. Wireless transmission is effected at a higher speed than the reproduction of the stored audio signals.

Abstract: Headphones of various designs and types of construction, in particular also closed headphones, have been known for a long time. Headphones of the type mentioned above should have the desired frequency response in all frequency positions and, in particular, this frequency response should be as linear and uniform as possible in the lower frequency range in order to allow good transmission in low frequencies as well. It is the object of the invention to simplify the damping of the fundamental resonance of transducer systems, to improve quality and to save costs. Closed headphones with an acoustic transducer with a diaphragm system which separates a front volume from a rear volume, the rear volume being so small that it does not act as a spring in the range of the fundamental resonance of the transducer system.
