Claim Text:
1. A headphone comprising: a resilient, curved band having opposed first and second end parts and an intermediate part positioned therebetween, wherein the band defines an interior region; an arm member extending between a proximal end and a distal end; an earphone unit physically coupled to the arm member adjacent the distal end thereof; a pivot joint pivotally coupling a region adjacent the proximal end of the arm member with one of the opposed end parts of the band to define an axis of rotation oriented transversely relative to a wearer's head when the headphone is donned, wherein the pivot joint is configured to stop rotation of the arm member in a first direction at a first position and to stop rotation of the arm member in an opposed rotational direction at a second position substantially opposite the first position, and to inhibit rotation of the arm member at one or more intermediate positions between the first position and the second position.
