Handset or headset
There is provided a headphone or headset comprising at least one housing, at least one microphone for detecting interference sound, at least one active noise compensation unit for implementing active noise compensation based on the interference sound detected by the at least one microphone and for the output of a compensation signal. The headphone or the headset has at least one electroacoustic reproduction transducer for output of the compensation signal from the noise compensation unit and a circumaural cushion having a recess for receiving a spectacles side arm. The active noise compensation unit is adapted in noise compensation to take account of the effect of the recess in the ear cushion.
1. A headphone or headset comprising:
at least one housing;
at least one microphone configured to detect interference sound;
at least one active noise compensation unit configured to implement active noise compensation based on the interference sound detected by the at least one microphone, and to output a compensation signal;
at least one electroacoustic reproduction transducer configured to output the compensation signal from the noise compensation unit; and
a circumaural ear cushion;
wherein, in a first operating mode:
the circumaural cushion comprises a recess configured to receive a spectacles side arm; and
the active noise compensation unit is adapted to use a first set of filter parameters in the active noise compensation;
wherein, in a second operating mode:
the circumaural ear cushion is without a recess configured to receive a spectacles side arm; and
the active noise compensation unit is adapted to utilize a second set of filter parameters in the active noise compensation; and
wherein the first set of filter parameters is different from the second set of filter parameters.
2. The headphone or headset as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:
a sensor configured to detect whether the recess in the ear cushion is present;
wherein the active noise compensation unit is configured to operate in the first operating mode when it is detected by the sensor that the recess is present and
wherein the active noise compensation unit is configured to operate in the second operating mode when it is detected by the sensor that the recess is not present.
3. The headphone or headset as set forth in claim 1 :
wherein the at least one microphone is an internal microphone in the region of the electroacoustic reproduction transducer.
4. The headphone or headset as set forth in claim 1 :
wherein the at least one microphone is an external microphone in the region of the recess in the ear cushion.
5. A headphone or headset comprising:
at least one electroacoustic reproduction transducer;
at least one microphone configured to detect interference sound;
at least one active noise compensation unit configured to implement active noise compensation based on the interference sound detected by the at least one microphone and to output a compensation signal to the electroacoustic reproduction transducer; and
at least one housing which is adapted to receive an ear cushion that is configured to receive a spectacles side arm;
wherein, in a first operating mode:
the ear cushion receives the spectacles side arm such that a recess is created in the ear cushion; and
the active noise compensation unit is adapted to utilize a first set of filter parameters to implement the active noise compensation; and
wherein, in a second operating mode:
the ear cushion is without a recess created from the spectacles side arm;
the active noise compensation unit is adapted to utilize a second set of filter parameters to implement the active noise compensation; and
wherein the first set of filter parameters is different from the second set of filter parameters.
6. The headphone or headset as set forth in claim 5 , further comprising:
a sensor configured to detect whether the recess in the ear cushion is present;
wherein the active noise compensation unit is configured to operate in the first operating mode when it is detected by the sensor that the recess is present; and
wherein the active noise compensation unit is configured to operate in the second operating mode when it is detected by the sensor that the recess is not present.
7. The headphone or headset as set forth in claim 5 :
wherein the at least one microphone is an internal microphone in the region of the electroacoustic reproduction transducer.
8. The headphone or headset as set forth in claim 5 :
wherein the at least one microphone is an external microphone in the region of the recess in the ear cushion.
9. A method of controlling an earphone or a headset which has at least one microphone for detecting interference sound and an ear cushion, comprising the steps:
detecting whether the ear cushion has a recess to receive a spectacles side arm;
detecting interference sound by the at least microphone;
implementing active noise compensation based on the interference sound detected by the at least one microphone in a first operating mode, when it is detected that the ear cushion has a recess, or in a second operating mode, when it is detected that the ear cushion does not have a recess, and outputting a corresponding compensation signal; and
reproducing the compensation signal by the active noise compensation by at least one electroacoustic reproduction transducer;
wherein, in the first operating mode, a first set of filter parameters is utilized in the active noise compensation;
wherein, in the second operating mode, a second set of filter parameters is utilized in the active noise compensation; and
wherein the first set of filter parameters is different from the second set of filter parameters.
