Abstract

This invention is a new design for a directional headphone system that separates the speakers a distance away from the user ears. The speakers can be placed either pointed vertically or horizontally away from the ear. The sound is emitted and reflected and bounced back into the user's ears to eliminate the need for ear plugins or ear pads that can be hot and sweaty and uncomfortable with prolong use. The directional audio headphone eliminates the need for earpads on the ear or earbuds in the ear.
