Patent ID: 7978870

Claim:
A headset apparatus to be worn about the head of a user comprising: a first earshell and a second earshell oppositely facing the first earshell, each earshell arranged to be worn over an ear of a user and having a surface portion shaped to define a respective headwear connection means; an article adapted to be indirectly attached to the first or second earshell; and an attachment means adapted to be worn on either the user's left hand side or right hand side for indirectly attaching the article to the first or second earshell via the attachment means, wherein the attachment means has two opposite sides such that a first one of the opposite sides faces towards the head of a user and a second one of the opposite sides faces outwardly from the head of the user when the headset apparatus is worn about the head of the user, the attachment means being attached to the article, wherein each of the two opposite sides of the attachment means has a reciprocal connection means shaped to reciprocally correspond with a shaping of the surface portion defining the respective headwear connection means to allow the headwear connection means and the respective reciprocal connection means to push-fit together without penetrating the surface portion, thereby allowing the article to be indirectly attached by the attachment means to the surface portion of either one of the oppositely facing first and second earshells and retaining the orientation of the article relative to the oppositely facing first and second earshells.
