Abstract
A headset capable of being donned with one hand comprises a headband with a variety of possible hinges disposed between the edges of the headband. In response to flexing the hinge by bringing the edges of the headband towards each other, the headband opens up sufficiently to allow a user to place the headband comfortably over his head, releasing the hinge to provide a snug fit.
