Abstract
The present invention relates to a communication headset comprising an earpiece housing and a boom having at least two independent pivot points. The boom of the present invention includes a first end, a second end and a universal joint disposed between the first and second ends. The first end of the boom is pivotally attached to a portion of the earpiece housing such that the boom is rotatably adjustable in a plane parallel to a user's ear allowing a user to adjust the microphone disposed at the second end of the boom in a position relative to the user's mouth. The universal joint disposed between the first and second ends of the boom provides the user with a second pivot point such that the user can adjust the second end of the boom to at least one of a plurality of positions independent of the first end of the boom attached to the earpiece housing. The user is allowed to optimize the position of the microphone disposed at the second end of the boom by using only one hand allowing a user to use a second or free hand to perform some other desired or necessary activity.
