Headsets and methods for configuring a headset

1. A headset comprising:

an ear cup comprising:

a speaker having a main sound emission direction; and

a rotatable dial configured to effect movement of the speaker laterally across a plane of the ear cup along a pre-determined path at least substantially perpendicular to the main sound emission direction upon actuation of the rotatable dial;

a link mechanism;

wherein the link mechanism comprises a first link, a second link, and a third link;

wherein the speaker is mounted on the first link and on the second link;

wherein the first link comprises a rail;

wherein the speaker is slidably mounted in the rail;

wherein the speaker is mounted to a first end of the second link;

wherein the second link is pivotally connected to the third link by a first joint between the second link and the third link;

wherein the third link is pivotally connected to the first link by a second joint between the third link and the first link.

2. The headset of claim 1 ,

wherein the ear cup houses the speaker;

wherein the rotatable dial is mounted on the ear cup.

3. The headset of claim 1 ,

wherein the headset comprises a plurality of speakers and a respective rotatable dial for each speaker of the plurality of speakers.

4. The headset of claim 1 ,

wherein the main sound emission direction is at least substantially towards a user's ear.

5. The headset of claim 1 ,

wherein a direction of the movement of the speaker is up or down with respect to a user's head.

6. The headset of claim 1 ,

wherein a direction of the movement of the speaker is front or back with respect to a user's head.

7. The headset of claim 1 ,

wherein the speaker comprises at least one of a left driver, a right driver, a back left driver, a back right driver, or a middle driver.

8. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the pre-determined path is a substantially straight path.

9. The headset of claim 1 , wherein the rotatable dial is configured to effect a translation of the speaker laterally across the plane of the ear cup along the pre-determined path.

10. A method for configuring a headset with an ear cup, the ear cup comprising a speaker having a main sound emission direction, the method comprising:

actuating a rotatable dial to effect movement of the speaker laterally across a plane of the ear cup along a pre-determined path at least substantially perpendicular to the main sound emission direction;

wherein the headset comprises a link mechanism;

wherein the link mechanism comprises a first link, a second link, and a third link;

wherein the speaker is mounted on the first link and on the second link:

wherein the first link comprises a rail;

wherein the speaker is slidably mounted in the rail;

wherein the speaker is mounted to a first end of the second link;

wherein the second link is pivotally connected to the third link by a first joint between the second link and the third link;

wherein the third link is pivotally connected to the first link by a second joint between the third link and the first link.

11. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the ear cup houses the speaker; and

wherein the rotatable dial is mounted on the ear cup.

12. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the headset comprises a plurality of speakers and a respective rotatable dial for each speaker of the plurality of speakers.

13. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the main sound emission direction is at least substantially towards a user's ear.

14. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein a direction of the movement of the speaker is up or down with respect to a user's head.

15. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein a direction of the movement of the speaker is front or back with respect to a user's head.

16. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the speaker comprises at least one of a left driver, a right driver, a back left driver, a back right driver, or a middle driver.
