Definitions
- the housing is either designed to allow sound to pass through (open headphones) or to prevent most sound from passing through (closed headphones).
- open headphones open headphones
- closed headphones provide advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation.
- a tube according to the present disclosure may allow low frequencies to pass from the rear volume through the rear wall into the environment. This reduces unwanted reflections of bass frequencies at the rear wall back into the user's ear and unwanted effects on the oscillation of the membrane.
- the tube can have a size configured in that the air at the inner volume of the tube together with the rear volume and the compliance of the membrane form an acoustic low pass filter.
- each earcup comprises: an electroacoustic sound generator having a membrane configured to radiate sound; a rear wall, wherein the membrane is arranged between the rear wall and the user's ear when the headphones are used, wherein a rear side of the membrane faces a rear volume between the membrane and the rear wall and a front side of the membrane faces a front volume between the membrane and the user's ear; wherein the headphones have a closed configuration and an open configuration.
- the rear wall can be configured to allow sound to pass through in the open configuration and the rear wall being configured to prevent most sound from passing through in the closed configuration
- the cut-off frequency of the acoustic low-pass filter is between 50 Hz and 500 Hz, specifically between 80 Hz and 300 Hz.
- the tube 18 can be cylindrical in some embodiments. However, other shapes are possible, for example, a hexagonal shape (honeycomb shape).
- the tube 18 can have a length from the first to the second opening between 0.8cm and 3 cm. In some embodiments, tube 18 has a diameter between 1.2mm to 6 mm. In some embodiments, tube 18 is arranged in the center of the membrane 13 which may correspond to the center of a plane between the rear volume 26 and the front volume 20.
- the surface of the membrane 13 can be at least 5 or even 10 times larger than the first opening of the tube 18.
- the tube 18 can be arranged in the center of the membrane 13. If the earcup has a plurality of parallel tubes, the surface of the membrane 13 can be at least 5 or even 10 times larger than the sum of the surface of first openings of the plurality of tubes 18.
- sheets are not contacting each other in the open configuration and rotate between the closed and the open configuration.
- sheets 30 can be arranged in two or more layers, wherein each layer has sheets and gaps.
- each layer has sheets and gaps.
- sheets of each layer overlap and gaps of each layer overlap.
- gaps and sheets of different layers overlap, so that each gap is closed by a sheet of another other layer.
- the layer or the layers may rotate around an axis perpendicular to the rear wall, in other words, the layer or layers rotate within the plane of the rear wall.
- Sheets 30 have triangle shapes, wherein a first end is rotatable connected to the inner ring structure 31, a second end is rotatable connected to the outer ring structure 31/34 and a third end is placed in a recess or elongated hole 32 of the outer ring structure 31/34.
- the recess or elongated hole 32 defines a path for the third end.
- the third ends Upon following the path of the recess or elongated hole 32, the third ends cause the sheets 30 to rotate.
- the recess or elongated hole 32 may be formed to cause a rotation from a starting point defined as 0° to an end point at between 60° and 90°.
- earcup 10 can comprise dust protection elements which shield the mechanical and/or electronic parts of the headphones from dust and debris.
- a dust protection element can be placed between protection element 35 and sheets 30 and/or between electroacoustic sound generator 12 and a user's ear. Dust protection elements do not influence sound propagation and comprise, for example, a foam structure or an acoustic permeable mesh.
