Abstract

A spectacle-stereo headphone combination (20) for connection to a portable personal music player which is stylish, convenient to use and technically suitable for real-life conditions. Embodiments which permit complete removal of the earphones (24, 26) provide a direct connection to the music player for one earphone through a plug (56, 58) which also connects to a jack (66) in one of the temple pieces (30, 32). Internal wiring passes through the temple-pieces (30, 32) and brow portion to a jack (66) in the other temple-piece which is plug-connected to a cable (54) for the other earphone. In one embodiment in which the earphones are captive, a single stereo cable is connected to the music player and to internal wiring in the spectacle frame (22) to provide connections to the two earphones (24, 26). The earphones (24, 26) are designed for storage in molded elastic inserts housed in recesses in the temple-pieces (30, 32). The recesses are open at the back so the earphones (24, 26) may be released simply by pushing out on the back of the insert. In a variant of this embodiment, an elastic head band is permanently attached to the temple-pieces. The wiring is provided by cables which pass through a channel in the head band and are directly connected to the earphones. The cables extend from and retract into the head band to permit convenient positioning of the earphones for use and storage. In another captive embodiment, the earphones are designed for storage behind the ear, and are pivotally mounted on telescoping arms which emanate from each temple-piece.
