1. A control system comprising:

  • an earphone or headset for reproduction of audio signals which includes;

    a sensor device for detecting head movement information;

    a transmitting device for transmitting the detected movement information;

    a processing device for evaluating the movement information from the transmitting unit and for outputting at least one control command dependent on the evaluation, wherein the processing device is adapted to recognize a movement pattern from the movement information and to output at least one control command dependent on the recognized movement pattern; and

    an activation unit for activating or deactivating the sensor device and/or the transmitting device for preventing the unintentional output of control commands,wherein a triggering of a control command is affected directly by an angular speed detected by the sensor device,wherein a corresponding control command is outputted if the magnitude of the angular speed exceeds a triggering comparison value, andwherein a renewed generation of the corresponding command is suppressed if the magnitude of the angular speed is continuously above a cancellation comparison value.
