Abstract:
A headphone comprises a plurality of actuatable equalization selectors. Each of the selectors corresponds to an equalization setting that includes a preset distribution of relative amplitudes of sounds in predetermined frequency ranges. In one embodiment, each of the plurality of actuatable equalization selectors is a button-type switch. A knob-type switch or a voice recognition mechanism can also actuate an equalization setting. In a preferred embodiment, an equalizer identification indicator produces a communication perceivable to a headphone wearer and which corresponds to an equalization setting. The communication can be audible or tactile. In some embodiments, the communication is a piece of music or a sound imitation associated with a particular genre of music that corresponds to the equalization setting selected by a headphone wearer. In some embodiments, the communication is an audio clip created or selected by a user and stored in the headphone.

Claim (Index 1):
A headphone comprising:\n (a) a plurality of equalization selectors, each of said selectors directly actuating an equalization setting for a genre of music or that is individually programmed to a customizable equalization setting, said equalization setting comprising a specific distribution of relative amplitudes of sounds in predetermined frequency ranges; and (b) an equalizer identification indicator for actuating an audible communication perceivable to a headphone wearer in response to actuating an equalization setting, wherein said communication corresponds to said actuated equalization setting, and wherein said communication is perceived differently from sounds being reproduced on said headphone, wherein said communication is selected from the group consisting of a piece of music associated with a particular genre of music and a sound imitation associated with a particular genre of music, and wherein said particular genre of music corresponds to said actuated equalization setting.
