Battery door

Abstract

An earcup assembly 11 for a headset 10 comprising a housing having a first side adapted to engage the head of a user when in use and a second side opposite thereto. A recess provided in the second side of the housing receives and stores a battery. A battery door 14 is arranged to slidably engage the second side of the housing such that the battery door 14 may be moved between a first, open position in which the recess is accessible to a user and a second, closed position in which the recess is covered by the battery door 14. Preferably, the earcup assembly 11 includes active noise reduction circuitry. One or a pair of such earcup assemblies 11 may be arranged to form a headset 10, wherein the assemblies 11 are coupled to a headband 12 via yokes 13.
