Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless headset configured to communicate with a wireless transceiver over a wireless signal path. The wireless headset includes speakers and a microphone one or more batteries for providing power to the wireless headset; and a connector configurable to receive a bypass cord for bypassing the wireless audio path with a wired signal path. Further embodiments of the wireless headset include speakers and a microphone, Active Noise Reduction (ANR) circuitry; and a connector configurable to receive a bypass cord for bypassing the wireless audio path with a wired signal path. Additional embodiments of the wireless headset include speakers and a microphone and a connector latch for latching a bypass cord to the wireless headset, wherein the bypass cord is configured to bypass the wireless signal path with a wires signal path.
