Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015165890A1] The invention relates to a headphone unit, comprising a first and a second ear shell (1). Each ear shell comprises a housing (1a), a peripheral ear cushion (3), and a first electroacoustic reproduction transducer (2) for emitting sound outwardly, which electroacoustic reproduction transducer is arranged in or on the housing of the ear shell (1). The headphone unit has at least one second reproduction transducer (20) for emitting sound in the direction of the ear of the user. The headphone unit has a first operating position, in which the ear shells (1) are placed with the ear cushions (3) on or around an ear. The headphone unit has a second operating position, in which the ear cushions (3) of the first and second ear shells (1) lie against each other such that a closed volume (100) is formed therebetween, which can be used as a resonance chamber for the two first electroacoustic reproduction transducers (2) when the two electroacoustic reproduction transducers (2) are activated in the second operating position. By designing the inner volume as a resonance chamber, outward reproduction into the free field can occur with good quality.
