Abstract:
1. A headset comprising a housing and a microphone arm connected to a hinge member, which is pivotally connected to the housing such that the microphone arm can be rotated about a first pivot axis between a first position, in which it lies along a first surface of the housing and a second, extended position in which it extends away from the housing, and where the headset is further provided with a switch, which is operably connected to the microphone arm or the hinge member, such that a rotation of the microphone arm from the first position to the second position or vice versa activates the switch and changes headset mode, characterized in that the microphone arm is movably connected to the hinge member so that the microphone arm can be moved into a third position, in which it lies along a second surface of the housing; and wherein the microphone arm is pivotally connected to the hinge member so that the microphone arm can rotate about a second pivot axis; and wherein the second pivot axis is perpendicular to the first pivot axis.
