A headset is described for use in connection with either mobile telephones, conventional landline telephones or personal computers. When used with wireless applications, the headset is housed in a generally elongated casing having an ear bud, having a speaker therein, and a battery pack extending therefrom which are used in conjunction with one another to secure the headset against a user's ear. The battery pack includes a lip that is designed to cradle the helix of a user's ear against the casing and is positioned distal of the ear bud such that the battery pack is located behind a user's ear when the headset is in its operating position. The battery pack and the ear bud are further positioned on the casing to counterbalance the end of the casing opposite the ear bud and to equally distribute the weight of the headset about the ear bud and prevent unnecessary movement of the headset about ear during operation.
A method for securing a wireless headset against a user's ear, the user's ear having an ear canal opening, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for maintaining a headset in a stable position relative to the user's head, the headset having a generally elongated casing, an ear bud speaker, an ear piece and a mouthpiece having a microphone within the casing of the headset, the method comprising the steps of positioning the mouthpiece and the ear piece at opposing ends of the headset with the ear bud positioned therebetween such that the ear piece and the mouthpiece counterbalance one another about the ear bud speaker thereby creating the center of gravity of the headset at the point in which the ear bud speaker extends from the elongated casing.
