Abstract
A device for fixing ear-phones and/or mini-microphones, especially to items of clothing or equipment. The aim of the invention is to develop a secure, easy to handle, precisely positionable, economical, optional means of fixing even earphones and/or mini-microphones whose structural shapes are years old. The fixing means should neither increase the transport weight nor the construction volume of the earphones and/or mini-microphones, should be usable even in an adapted state in a appropriate position on the item of clothing and/or equipment, and should guarantee (with the exception of special structural shapes) overload protection with an emergency triggering function when there is a strong pull on the earphone and/or microphone cable. To this end, a permanent magnet, a magnet system or an adhesive system is provided at the designated fixing point for the earphones and/or mini-microphones outside or inside of the particular item of clothing and/or equipment.
