This headset has two earphones adapted to be introduced inside or near to the auditory canal of the user. The earphones are connected by a connection element that has a central band resting on the top of the headset user's head, and two lateral branches extending the band. Each of the bands has, at a proximal end, an articulated connection with the central band; at a distal end, a deformable connection with the respective earphone; and, in a median region, a case that houses electric or electronic components. An internal side of the case, which is directed towards the user's head, has a bearing face that is adapted to come into contact with a temporal region of the headset user.
