ABSTRACT:
A headset includes two earpieces. One earpiece acts as a microphone, and the other earpiece acts as an earphone. Isolated from background noise and vibrations due to bone conduction, the microphone earpieces convert voice sounds from the air column in the external ear canal into electrical signals. Other embodiments of the invention address feedback problems and achieve improved performance relative to existing full duplex communication devices. In another embodiment of the invention a headset includes a band having opposite ends that extend in a forward direction from the two earpieces. The band then either extends downwardly or backwards.
