Abstract: There is provided a headphone having an over-the-head headband which is of an arcuate configuration and spans a central plane. The headphone has at least one spacer element which is fixedly connected to an end of the over-the-head headband and projects out of the central plane, at least one articulation which is fixed to the spacer element at a spacing relative to the central plane and at least one ear cap which is coupled pivotably by way of the at least one articulation to the spacer element. The articulation is so provided that its pivot axis is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the head of a user of the headphone so that the ear cap can be pivoted by means of the articulation from a first position in which it covers an ear of the user into a second position in which the ear is exposed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An earphone, a headset, and an ear pad for an earphone. The ear pad may having the sealing integrity guaranteed. The headset may have portions with different degrees of softness or firmness.

Abstract: There is thus provided an earphone comprising a housing (20) for receiving an electroacoustic transducer, and an ear cushion unit (10) having an ear cushion material (11) and a first ring (1). The housing has a sealing ring (2) and a latching unit (21). The first ring (1) has a prestressing when it is placed on the sealing ring (2) and held by means of the latching unit (21).

Abstract: There is provided an earphone comprising a hoop band (1) for receiving at least one ear pad (OM). The hoop band (1) has at least two hoop band portions (2a, 2b), wherein at least two of the hoop band portions (2a, 2b) are rotatably connected together by way of a rotary joint unit (5). In addition in the region of the rotary joint unit the hoop band has a spring unit (10) which couples the two hoop band portions together and thus exerts a spring force on the hoop band portions (2a, 2b), wherein the spring force is adjustable by adaptation of the coupling by way of a coupling means.

Abstract: There is thus provided an earphone having a hoop band (100) for receiving at least one electroacoustic reproduction transducer. The hoop band has at least two hoop band portions (110, 120) which respectively include an angle, wherein at least two of the hoop band portions (110, 120) are rotatably connected together. The hoop band also has at least one adjusting unit (20) for adjusting and fixing the angle, wherein the adjusting unit is coupled to the first and second hoop band portions (110, 120).

Abstract: There is provided an earphone comprising a hoop (1) with a first and a second pivot point (A0, B0) at least one end of the hoop (1). The earphone has at least one earpiece (3) for receiving at least one electroacoustic transducer. The earpiece (3) has a first and a second pivot point (A, B). The earphone further has a first coupling element (2) for coupling the first pivot point (A0) of the hoop (1) to the first pivot point (A) of the earpiece (3) and a second coupling element (4) for coupling the second pivot point (B0) of the hoop (1) to the second pivot point (B) of the earpiece (3).
