Abstract
There is provided a headphone having an over-the-head headband which is of an arcuate configuration and spans a central plane. The headphone has at least one spacer element which is fixedly connected to an end of the over-the-head headband and projects out of the central plane, at least one articulation which is fixed to the spacer element at a spacing relative to the central plane and at least one ear cap which is coupled pivotably by way of the at least one articulation to the spacer element. The articulation is so provided that its pivot axis is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the head of a user of the headphone so that the ear cap can be pivoted by means of the articulation from a first position in which it covers an ear of the user into a second position in which the ear is exposed.
