Patent number: 10141494Abstract: There is provided a headset having at least one microphone for detecting ambient noises, at least one electroacoustic reproduction transducer and a control unit for controlling the headset. The headset also has a digital active noise reduction unit for performing digital active noise reduction based on the ambient noises recorded by the microphone. The headset further has a data interface for receiving data and/or parameters for the headset and for outputting data and/or parameters stored in the headset.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Jan Peter Kuhtz, Martin Streitenberger, André Grandt, Elmar Schulze, Hatem Foudhaili

Patent number: 9373317Abstract: An earphone including at least one microphone, an analog pre-emphasis filter for pre-emphasis of the microphone signal, an AD-converter for digitizing the output signal of the pre-emphasis filter, an active noise compensation unit for performing active noise compensation based on the pre-emphasized and digitized output signal of the microphone and for outputting a counter sound signal, and a DA-converter for performing analog/digital conversion of the counter sound produced by the active noise compensation unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Martin Streitenberger, Hatem Foudhaili, André Grandt

Patent number: 9277039Abstract: There is provided a headset having a head band, at least one fork for receiving an earpiece and a receiving portion between an end of the head band and one of the forks. The fork is arranged pivotably about a pivot axis. The fork has a first end having a support element. The receiving portion has a slider having at least two receiving positions. The support element engages into one of the at least two receiving positions of the slider and thus limits the maximum deflection of the fork about the pivot axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Axel Schmidt, Jan Peter Kuhtz, Olaf Leske, Olav Nisse, Christian Grone, Hatem Foudhaili, Martin Streitenberger, Irene Strueber

Patent number: 9247337Abstract: A headphone or earphone is provided which includes a housing with an open end and at least one defined dominant acoustic opening, an acoustically sealing earpad arranged at the open end of the housing, and at least one microphone arranged adjacent to common ear or in the vicinity of the dominant acoustical opening for detecting noise. The dominant acoustic opening is arranged within a radius of 2 cm around a midpoint of the at least one microphone. The headphone or earphone also includes an active-noise-compensation unit for performing an active noise compensation based on the output of the microphone and for generating a compensation signal. The headphone or earphone also includes an electro-acoustical transducer inside the housing for reproducing the compensation signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Hatem Foudhaili, Axel Grell, Martin Streitenberger, Daniel Voss
