Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1071309A2] The headphones has right and left housing associated with the user's ears with sound walls (10) in which dynamic sound transducers (12,13) are mounted that each contain a treble device (13) and a coaxial middle/bass device (12). The sound wall in each housing has a first section (14) with high damping that covers a region of more than 170 and less than 340 degrees of the middle/bass device with a gap for the treble and an essentially V-shaped area (15) with an opening angle less than 170 and greater than 20 degrees. A second high damping region (17) near the tip of the V-section exposes between 50 and 50 per cent of the treble decvice.
