A headphone capable of attaining binaural hearing giving substantially the same sound quality as one would expect from ordinary loudspeakers, said headphone having such sound pressure versus frequency characteristics that there are two peaks between 1.5 and 5 KHz and the level differences between the low level area and the peaks are limited within the range of 6 to 17 dB. The headphone leads the sound from a transducer through the outside as well as inside of the headphone to the ears.

A structure of four-channel headphones having sound insulating means between front and rear channel driver units, and tone control means only for the front channel tones, said sound insulating means being formed of foam material which transmits low-pitched tones and absorbs high-pitched tones. Separation of the front and the rear channel tones is improved to closely resemble four-channel sound reproduction in a free field and the output levels of the medium-high range tones of the two front channels are made variable.
