The headset further includes an earhook with a first end coupled with the earpiece, a second end, and a length extending therebetween. The earhook has a transverse cross section along the length. The transverse cross section has a major cross dimension and a minor cross dimension orthogonal to the major cross dimension, the major cross dimension being greater than the minor cross dimension. A cable and a support wire are connected to the earpiece and embedded in the earhook along the length.
