There is provided an earphone having at least one housing ( 10 ) and at least one electroacoustic transducer ( 20 ) having a first and a second surface ( 21, 22 ). The earphone further has a first volume ( 100 ) defined by the first surface ( 21 ) of the electroacoustic transducer ( 20 ) and by a first end ( 12 ) of the housing ( 10 ), and a second volume ( 200 ) defined by the second surface ( 22 ) of the electroacoustic transducer ( 20 ) and by a second end ( 11 ) of the housing ( 10 ). An opening ( 300 ) is provided between the first and second volumes ( 100, 200 ). A closing unit ( 30 ) serves to at least partially close the opening ( 300 ).
1. An earphone comprising:
at least one housing,
at least one electroacoustic transducer having a first surface and a second surface,
a first volume defined by the first surface of the electroacoustic transducer and by a first end of the at least one housing in the earphone,
a second volume defined by the second surface of the electroacoustic transducer and by a second end of the at least one housing,
an opening between the first and second volumes, and
a closing unit for at least partially closing the opening, the closing unit having a bass tube element and a rotatable cover unit, a portion of a first end of the bass tube element being exposed to the first volume through an aperture in the cover unit, a portion of a second end of the bass tube element being exposed to the second volume through the opening, a length of the bass tube element being variable by rotation of the cover unit, wherein the bass tube element has a through hole and an aperture which are connected together, and wherein a position of the aperture of the cover unit relative to the aperture of the bass tube element is variable by rotation of the cover unit.
2. An earphone as set forth in claim 1 wherein the closing unit is adapted to adjust the degree of opening of the opening.
3. An earphone as set forth in claim 1 and further comprising a damping unit in front of the opening.
4. An earphone as set forth in claim 1 wherein the closing unit is actuable by a user of the earphone.
5. A headset comprising:
at least one housing,
at least one electroacoustic transducer having a first surface and a second surface,
a first volume defined by the first surface of the electroacoustic transducer and by a first end of the at least one housing in the headset,
a second volume defined by the second surface of the electroacoustic transducer and by a second end of the at least one housing,
an opening between the first and second volumes, and a closing unit for at least partially closing the opening, the closing unit having a bass tube element and a rotatable cover unit, a portion of a first end of the bass tube element being exposed to the first volume through an aperture in the cover unit, a portion of a second end of the bass tube element being exposed to the second volume through the opening, a length of the bass tube element being variable by rotation of the cover unit, wherein the bass tube element has a through hole and an aperture which are connected together, and wherein a position of the aperture of the cover unit relative to the aperture of the bass tube element is variable by rotation of the cover unit.
