Abstract
The invention relates to a floating-cup pivot for a head-worn audio device. The head-worn audio device includes an earcup defining an inner cavity. A wall of the earcup includes an aperture. Also, the head-worn audio device includes a pivot within the inner cavity of the earcup. The pivot defines a rotational axis. Further, the head-worn audio device includes an arm having a first end and a second end. The first end of the arm is rotatably attached to the pivot. Still yet, the head-worn audio device includes a stem disposed toward the second end of the arm. The stem is configured to rotate along a path passing through the aperture of the earcup.
