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 7):
The headphone arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein\n the inner walls of the frame comprise a plurality of inner wall surface sections, wherein the inner wall surface sections comprises all wall surfaces of the frame which adjoin the open volume around the ear of the user; part of the inner wall surface sections are oriented towards the pinna when the ear cup is arranged to encircle the ear of the user, while other wall surface sections are oriented away from the pinna; and at least parts of the inner wall surface sections oriented essentially towards the pinna comprise a sound absorbing material, the sound absorbing material being configured to reduce the intensity of sound reflected by the inner wall surface sections towards the pinna of the user.
