An audio system for disposing in the external region of an ear, such that, if disposed as intended, it is spaced from an ear opening of the ear, having an eyewear earpiece , having a carrier element for applying to the head of the user which is integrated into an eyewear earpiece or is designed as an eyewear earpiece and comprising at least one hollow space having a primary opening oriented in the direction of the ear opening spaced apart of the intended ear when the carrier element is disposed as intended, and having at least one speaker disposed in the hollow space , by means of which first sound waves can be emitted through the primary opening in the direction of the ear spaced apart, the cavity of the speaker being at least partially formed by a first hollow space region of the hollow space , that the hollow space comprises a secondary opening disposed in the first hollow space region such that said opening is oriented away from the ear toward the surroundings when the carrier element is disposed as intended, wherein the secondary opening is disposed in the region of a side surface and/or a top side of the eyewear earpiece , and that the primary opening and the secondary opening are disposed on two different sides and/or sides of the carrier element facing away from each other, so that second sound waves can be emitted through the secondary opening by means of the speaker , said waves being phase-shifted from the first sound waves such that the volume of the sound waves emitted by the audio system into the surroundings can be reduced, characterized in that , the primary opening of the speaker is disposed in the region of a bottom side of the eyewear earpiece . having an eyewear earpiece , having a carrier element for applying to the head of the user which is integrated into an eyewear earpiece or is designed as an eyewear earpiece and comprising at least one hollow space having a primary opening oriented in the direction of the ear opening spaced apart of the intended ear when the carrier element is disposed as intended, and having at least one speaker disposed in the hollow space , by means of which first sound waves can be emitted through the primary opening in the direction of the ear spaced apart, the cavity of the speaker being at least partially formed by a first hollow space region of the hollow space , that the hollow space comprises a secondary opening disposed in the first hollow space region such that said opening is oriented away from the ear toward the surroundings when the carrier element is disposed as intended, wherein the secondary opening is disposed in the region of a side surface and/or a top side of the eyewear earpiece , and that the primary opening and the secondary opening are disposed on two different sides and/or sides of the carrier element facing away from each other, so that second sound waves can be emitted through the secondary opening by means of the speaker , said waves being phase-shifted from the first sound waves such that the volume of the sound waves emitted by the audio system into the surroundings can be reduced, characterized in that , the primary opening of the speaker is disposed in the region of a bottom side of the eyewear earpiece . <EOS>
