Abstract:
1. A communications headset to be worn on an ear of a user, the headset comprising: a housing; a hook having an ear-engaging part and a joint part connected to the housing; the hook being configured to be positioned above and behind an ear of a user when the headset is worn by the user; wherein the hook is rotatably connected to the housing, the joint part has an end portion which is configured as a first rotation axis around which the hook is rotatable so that the hook can be flipped open into a position in which the hook is configured to be positioned above and behind the ear of the user; and wherein the ear-engaging part and the joint part of the hook are mutually rotatable around a second rotation axis, wherein the second rotation axis is transverse to the first rotation axis, wherein the housing has a surface and a longitudinal axis, the communications headset further comprising: a concha-engaging part on the surface of the housing, the concha-engaging part being adapted to be positioned in a concha of the ear of a user when the headset is worn, the first rotation axis is parallel to the surface of the housing and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the housing, wherein when the hook is rotated about the first rotation axis, the second rotation axis remains transverse to the first rotation axis when an angle between the second rotation axis and the surface of the housing from which the concha-engaging part protrudes is changed.
