Abstract:
1. A headphone comprising: a headband; two earpieces each connected to the headband; wherein, when assuming a Cartesian coordinate system having a Z plane that is a symmetry plane of the headphone, having a Y plane that is positioned perpendicularly to the Z plane and extends through a center of the headband, and having an X plane that is positioned perpendicularly to the Z and Y planes at any desired height, a first pivot axis is provided between the headband and the earpiece, respectively, wherein the first pivot axis is positioned at an angle of at least 10° relative to the X, Y, and Z planes, respectively, further comprising support arms connecting the headband and the earpieces, wherein the support arms are rotatable about the first pivot axes, respectively, and connecting arms connecting the support arms to the earpieces, wherein the connecting arms are rotatable about a second pivot axis relative to the support arms, respectively, wherein the earpieces are pivotable about a third pivot axis relative to the connecting arms, respectively, wherein the second and third pivot axes intersect one another at a point of intersection in an area of a central axis of the earpiece, respectively.
