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 3):
The headphone arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of:\n the acoustic center of at least one loudspeaker; the geometric center of at least one loudspeaker; and the geometric center of at least one loudspeaker membrane is arranged on a lower frontal part of the frame below the horizontal plane and in front of the frontal plane such that it provides sound to the ear of a user from a lower frontal direction when the at least one ear cup is arranged to encircle the ear of the user, wherein\n the first axis (x) is arranged with respect to the frame of the ear cup such that it runs through an area within the median plane spanned by a virtual perpendicular projection of the inner contour outline of the frame onto the median plane, and \n the first axis (x) intersects a point on the median plane that is at least one of:\n equally distant from two intersections of the frontal plane with the virtually projected inner contour outline on the median plane and equally distant from two intersections of the horizontal plane with the virtually projected inner contour outline on the median plane; \n the geometric center of the area spanned by the virtually projected inner contour outline on the median plane; \n equally distant from two intersections of the horizontal plane with the virtually projected inner contour outline on the median plane or vertically extrapolated lines thereof and at a first distance from the highest point of the contour line; and \n part of an area on the median plane that comprises a virtual perpendicular projection of the concha region of the ear of the user onto the median plane.
