Headphone With Magnetic Attachment Means For A Corresponding Ear Cushion

A headphone device comprising a speaker housing and an ear-cushion, the speaker housing comprising a speaker housing side portion and the ear cushion comprising an ear cushion side portion, where the speaker housing side portion and the ear cushion side portion respectively are configured for releasable connection to each other along an end surface of the ear cushion side portion and a corresponding end surface of the speaker housing side portion, wherein:

• said speaker housing side portion comprises a plurality of first permanent magnets provided at respective first locations on or in the speaker housing side portion with each respective magnet generating a magnetic field in a direction substantially perpendicular to the end surface of the speaker housing side portion;
• said ear cushion side portion comprises a plurality of second permanent magnets provided at respective second locations on or in the ear cushion side portion with each respective magnet generating a magnetic field in a direction substantially perpendicular to the end surface of the ear cushion side portion;
• where each of said first locations respectively corresponds substantially to one of said second locations;
• and
• where for each pair of said first and second permanent magnets, the magnetic field of a first permanent magnet, provided at one of said first locations, is opposite to the polarity of the magnetic field of the corresponding second permanent magnet provided at the corresponding of said second locations, when the end surface of the speaker housing side portion of the speaker housing and the end surface of the ear cushion side portion of the ear cushion are aligned and in contact with each other.
