  • Patent number: 6728387
    Abstract: A headset includes: a body; an upper wing extended from the body; a lower wing extended from the body; a speaker capsule coupled to the upper wing so that the speaker capsule can be positioned near an ear; and an ear bud coupled to the upper wing so as to be positioned on an opening of the concha of the ear. The lower wing is movable up and down pivotally on an interface between the body and the lower wing and the lower wing is rotatable about a longitudinal axis running from a first end to a second end of the lower wing. The rotation allows a first surface of the lower wing to accommodate one type of ear, and a second surface of the lower wing to accommodate another type of ear. The upper wing is further extendable from the body so as to position the ear bud on the opening of the concha of the user's ear. The headset further includes a microphone embedded in the upper wing, a voice tube extended from the upper wing, and an on-line indicator.
