- the headphone also has two pinnae which rest against an ear of a wearer.
- DE 20 2006 008 508 shows an in-ear earphone with an electroacoustic transducer and a support element which is coupled to the transducer.
- the transducer forms a first point of anchoring and the support element forms a second point of anchoring, so that a two-point anchorage in the outer ear is made possible.
- DE 40 19 250 shows an intra-conchal electroacoustic transducer with an auxiliary support device.
- US 5,935,435 shows an in-ear earpiece with a support element displaceable along the in-ear earpiece, which can engage in an outer ear of a wearer.
- KR 10-2006-0113603 shows an in-ear earpiece with a support element which can engage an outer ear of a user.
- DE 10 2004 010 198 A1 shows an in-ear receiver with at least one electroacoustic transducer and a support element.
- the support element is coupled to the transducer.
- the transducer forms a first point of anchoring and the support element forms a second point of anchoring so that a two point anchorage in the outer ear can be achieved.
- the support element is biased relative to the transducer. It is an object of the present invention to provide an in-ear earphone and a headset which has improved wearing comfort.
- an in-ear earphone with a housing, a converter housing and a support unit.
- the converter housing serves to receive an electroacoustic transducer.
- the support unit is connected to the housing and is adapted to be anchored in a concha of a wearer.
- the support unit is at least partially made of a soft flexible material.
- the support unit is rotatably and / or pivotally mounted at one end of the housing.
- the support unit is connected via a ball joint to the first end of the housing.
- the invention also relates to a headset with at least one housing, a converter housing and a support unit.
- the converter housing serves to receive an electroacoustic reproduction transducer.
- the support unit is connected to the housing and is adapted to be anchored in a concha of a wearer.
- the support unit is at least partially made of a soft, flexible material. Thus, it can be ensured that the headset can be anchored in any concha of a wearer.
