Abstract:
A headphone arrangement includes an ear cup configured to be arranged to at least partly surround an ear of a user to define an at least partly enclosed volume about the ear of the user. The ear cup includes an at least partially hollow frame configured to at least partially enframe the ear of the user when the ear cup is arranged to surround the ear of the user. The frame includes a first cavity, the first cavity being formed by wall portions of the frame. The headphone arrangement includes at least one loudspeaker arranged within wall portions of the first cavity. The wall portions of the first cavity form a first waveguide configured to guide sound radiated from the loudspeaker through a waveguide output of the first waveguide. The waveguide output of the first waveguide includes one or more openings in the first cavity.
