Abstract:
A headphone arrangement is configured to induce natural directional pinna cues. The arrangement comprises an ear cup comprising a frame configured to at least partly encircle the ear of a user, wherein the frame is at least partially hollow. The arrangement further comprises a loudspeaker arranged within a wall of a frontal part, a rear part, an upper part, and/or a lower part of the frame, the loudspeaker comprising a membrane, a first side of the membrane facing a cavity inside the frame, and a second side of the membrane facing the outside. At least one loudspeaker is arranged at a first angle with respect to a median plane crossing a user's head midway between the user's ears such that a main direction of sound propagation is directed away from the median plane, and the second side of the membrane is directed away from the median plane.

Claim (Index 11):
The headphone arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the arrangement comprises at least three loudspeakers, and wherein\n at least two loudspeakers are arranged in at least one of a frontal loudspeaker group and a rear loudspeaker group, wherein each loudspeaker group comprises at least two loudspeakers that are arranged adjacent to each other; a representation of an average perceptual relevant direction of sound propagation for at least a first loudspeaker group is angled at an angle with respect to the horizontal plane, and a representation of the average perceptual relevant direction of sound propagation of at least the first loudspeaker group is essentially opposing a representation of an average perceptual relevant direction of sound propagation of at least one second loudspeaker group or a representation of the perceptual relevant direction of sound propagation of at least one additional loudspeaker; and the a representation of perceptual relevant direction of sound propagation for each respective loudspeaker is the perpendicular projection onto the median plane of the direction of sound propagation from the acoustic center of the loudspeaker or the geometric center of the loudspeaker membrane towards a point on the first axis (x).
