    Abstract: A headset comprising a first earphone and a microphone arm, which is rotatable around a first hinge axis, so it can rotate between a use position and a rest position. The microphone arm comprises a first arm part extending from the first hinge and a second arm part extending between the first arm part and a free end. The first arm part and the second arm part are interconnected by a second hinge. The second arm part comprises an engagement part, which during rotation of the microphone arm around the first axis from the use position to the rest position is adapted to engage the earphone, whereby the second arm part is forced to rotate from the second position to the first position.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a headset for audio transmission. The headset is configured to be worn by a user. The headset comprises a speaker for sound transmission into the user's ear. The headset comprises a wireless communication unit for communication with an external device. The headset comprises a connection to a location-based service software, the location-based service software is configured for controlling at least one headset feature based on location data of the headset. The headset comprises a processing unit. The processing unit is configured for obtaining current location data of the headset. The processing unit is configured for enabling the location-based service software to detect if the current location data of the headset corresponds to a geographic region for which a first geo-fence is defined by the user. The processing unit is configured for changing the at least one headset feature, if a change criterion associated with the first geofence is satisfied; wherein the change of at least one headset feature is defined by the user.

    Abstract: A headphone (1) comprising a first earphone (2) and a headband (3) to be arranged around the head of a user. The headband (3) comprises a first headband part (4) and a second headband part (5), that are telescopically connected, so that the length of the headband (3) can be adjusted in a longitudinal direction (Y). The first headband part (4) comprises an inner wall (9) with a protruding longitudinal first rib (8), which first rib (8) has a first rib sidewall (35) with a first rib protrusion (33) and a second opposite rib sidewall (36) with a second rib protrusion (34). The second headband part (5) comprises an outer wall (7) with a first longitudinal groove (6), which first groove (6) has first groove sidewall (20) with a first groove protrusion (22) and a second opposite groove sidewall (21) with a second groove protrusion (23). The first rib (8) is received in the first groove (6), and the first and second rib protrusions (33, 34) and the first and second groove protrusions (22, 23) defines small well-defined contact areas between the rib sidewalls (35, 36) and the groove sidewalls (20, 21).

    Abstract: A headphone (1) comprising a first earphone (2) and a headband (3) to be arranged around the head of a user The headband (3) comprises a first headband part (4) and a second headband part (5), which are slidably connected to each other, so that the length of the headband (3) can be adjusted in a longitudinal direction (Y). There is provided a controlled friction mechanism, that controls the friction between the first headband part (4) and the second headband part (5). The friction mechanism comprises a first cantilever (8) comprised by the second headband part (5) and a first friction element (11) of elastomeric abutment material, which is attached to the first cantilever (8) and which due to elastic deformation of the first cantilever (8) abuts and exerts a force against a first contact area of the first headband part (4).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microphone apparatus (30) with a main beamformer (31) that provides a main output audio signal (SM) as a beamformed signal by applying a main weight vector (BM) to a main input vector (MM). A main beamformer controller (32) repeatedly determines a main steering vector (dM) and adaptively determines the main weight vector (BM) in dependence on the main steering vector (dM) and the main input vector (MM) to increase the relative amount of voice sound (V) from the user (6) in the main output audio signal (SM).
    The microphone apparatus (30) further comprises an auxiliary beamformer (33) that provides an auxiliary beamformer signal (SF) as a beamformed signal by applying an auxiliary weight vector (BF) to an auxiliary input vector (MA) that is a subset of the main input vector (MM), and an auxiliary beamformer controller (34) that adaptively determines the auxiliary weight vector (BF) to increase the relative amount of voice sound (V) from the user (6) in the auxiliary beamformer signal (SF). The main beamformer controller (32) determines the main steering vector (dM) in dependence on the auxiliary weight vector (BF).
    This may enable the main beamformer controller (32) to utilize information derived independently of the steering vector (dM) and may thus improve stability and/or accuracy of the estimation of the steering vector (dM), and may further reduce the computation load for the main beamformer controller (32).

    Abstract: Disclosed is an antenna structure configured to be provided in a headset to be worn. The antenna structure has a radiator and ground plate. The radiator is arranged in a first plane, and the ground plate in a second plane. The first plane, in which the radiator is arranged, is configured to be arranged substantially parallel to the surface of the head of the user, when the user wears the headset in its intended position on the head. The radiator and the ground plate are connected by a first ground connector, a second ground connector and a feed connector. The radiator has an opening between the first ground connector and the second ground connector. The opening between the first ground connector and the second ground connector provides that an object is configured to be arranged between the first plane and the second plane.
