Headphones include a headband and a yoke that is pivotably coupled to the headband. The yoke includes first and second yoke arms that each extend from a pivot point to respective distal ends. An earphone is pivotably coupled to the yoke. The earphone includes an earcup that defines first and second recesses for receiving the distal ends of the yoke arms. The earcup and the yoke are configured such that the distal ends of the yoke arms can be slid into the recesses in the earcup for assembly without elastic deformation of the yoke arms or the earcup.

Headphones

Headphones include a cushion assembly and a slider telescopically coupled to the cushion assembly. The slider includes a proximal end that is disposed within the cushion assembly and a distal end extending outward from the cushion assembly. A pivot mount is disposed within an opening at the distal end of the slider. A pivot is supported in the pivot mount. The headphones also include an earphone and a yoke that couples the earphone to the slider. The pivot mount is secured to the slider via a fastener, and wherein the yoke is pivotable to a position in which it covers the fastener when the headphones are in use.

Pivot attachment for headphones

Headphones include a cushion assembly, a slider telescopingly received within the cushion assembly, and an earphone. A yoke couples the earphone to the slider. A pivot is disposed at an open end of the slider and couples the yoke to the slider. The pivot includes a barrel that is received within an opening in the yoke. The barrel is secured within the opening via a pin that is inserted into a hole in the yoke.
