Abstract
Headphones designed for comfort have a flexible, deformable armature which supports speakers. An elastic strip attached to the armature biases it into a curved shape. The armature and speakers are surrounded by a fabric sheath. A layer of flexible, resilient material such as polyester foam is interposed between the armature and the sheath for cushioning. The speakers are held in pockets positioned in the sheath at opposite ends of the armature.
