Abstract: A headband for a headset comprising a carrier, a first strap and a wrapping is disclosed. The carrier is curved to conform to a wearer's head. The first strap is attached to the carrier at two attachment points. The wrapping is attached to the carrier and arranged to conceal the first strap. The first strap and the wrapping together form a head abutment portion extending between the two attachment points and configured to abut to the wearer's head when the headband is worn by the wearer. At least one of the first strap and the wrapping comprises a flexible and elastic material configured to stretch along the length of the carrier between the two attachment points, thereby providing the head abutment portion configured to adapt to the shape of the wearer's head.

Abstract: A hearing device configured for audio communication is disclosed. The hearing device comprises a wireless communication unit and a processing unit, the wireless communication unit being configured to receive and transmit audio signals. The processing unit is configured to receive and/or transmit the audio signal from/to the wireless communication unit, process the audio signal in a first frequency band or in a second frequency band, and detect the quality of the audio communication. If the audio signal is processed in the first frequency band, the processing unit is switching to processing in the second frequency band if the quality of the audio communication is below a first predetermined threshold. If the audio signal is processed in the second frequency band, the processing unit is switching to processing in the first frequency band if the quality of the audio communication is above the first predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A hearing device comprising a first earphone with a first driver unit and a second earphone comprising a second driver unit. The headset further comprises a first ambient microphone adapted for converting ambient noise to an ambient input signal. A first electric circuitry is adapted for receiving the first ambient input sound signal from the ambient microphone and in an ambient mode outputting a first ambient output sound signal of a certain level to the first driver unit. An activation circuit is adapted to activate and deactivate the ambient mode for the hearing device. In the ambient mode, the ambient output sound signal is sent to the first driver unit and not the second driver unit.
