Abstract
A headset has first and second connectors and first and second earphones. A first electrical pathway extends from a first contact point associated with the first connector to a first contact point associated with said second connector, a second electrical pathway extends from a second contact point associated with the first connector to a second contact point associated with the second connector, and a third electrical pathway extends from a third contact point associated with the first connector to a third contact point associated with the second connector. One or both earphones are connected between the first pathway and the third pathway and neither the first earphone nor the second earphone is connected between the first pathway and the second pathway. The first and second earphones may be mounted at fixed angles such that the earphones project rearwardly and outwardly over, in spaced relation to, and approximately parallel to, ears of a user.

14. A headset comprising:
-
a headband; a first earphone mounted to said headband at a first fixed angle; a second earphone mounted to said headband at a second fixed angle; said fixed first angle being equal and opposite to said fixed second angle such that said first earphone and said second earphone angle outwardly away from said headband; a first temple pad extending from said headband adjacent said first earphone; a second temple pad extending from said headband adjacent said second earphone; wherein said first earphone and said second earphone extend rearwardly such that, in use, with said temple pads positioned at temples of a wearer, said earphones project rearwardly and outwardly over, in spaced relation to, and approximately parallel to, ears of said user whereby said user remains exposed to ambient sounds and remains able to distinguish directionality of ambient sounds. - View Dependent Claims (15)
