Abstract
Headphone system including two ear cups (105a, 105b), a headband assembly (110), an interface system (115) and a control system (120). Each ear cup (105a, 105b) includes an ear cup enclosure (205a, 205b), an ear pad assembly (207a, 207b), a speaker system (805) and a hinge assembly (700). The hinge assembly (700) is disposed within the ear cup enclosure (205a, 205b) such that it is not visible from outside the ear cup (105a, 105b). The headband (110) assembly connects with each of the ear cups (105a, 105b) via the hinge assembly (700). The interface system (115) includes at least one interface and a plurality of input source buttons (202, 204, 206) disposed on at least one of the ear cups (105a, 105b). Each of the input source buttons (202, 204, 206) is configured for selecting a source of audio data received via the at least one interface. The control system (120) is configured for controlling the speaker system (805) to reproduce audio data received via the interface and selected by one of the input source buttons (202, 204, 206).
