Claim:
A headphone set comprising: a hoop band having two ends; an acoustic transducer being fixed to each of the two ends, respectively; said hoop band extending arcuately in a plane and having two joints each for folding one end of the hoop band inwardly in the plane and having an elastic region for resiliently expanding and narrowing the hoop band; the fixing of each of the transducers to the ends of the hoop band having a second joint for pivoting the transducers relative with respect to the end of the hoop band into the plane, said first joint being spaced apart from the second joint along the hoop band; a respective connecting structure being arranged in the region of the two ends of the hoop band, each said structure being able to be connected to each other and which then in co-operating relationship hold the folded-in ends of the hoop band in a crossed position; and said connecting structures being openings in the ends of the hoop band, the openings being fitted into each other when the ends of the hoop band are folded inwardly, so that the openings engage one into the other in positively locking relationship and clasp the crossed ends of the hoop band to each other in flush relationship in the plane.
