ABSTRACT:
A mounting device for mounting an earphone in sound receiving relationship to the ear of the user, the earphone comprising a generally cylindrical housing having a suitable terminal for connection to a source of signal and an inner generally planar surface having at least one sound transmitting operture. The mounting device comprises a pair of pliable elongated arm members which are attached to the housing and have distal ends overlapping each other in opposing directions. The arms and the housing define an opening therebetween through which said ear of the user is received. The distal ends of the arm members are held in releasable engagement relative to each other whereby the opening may be decreased to secure the arms about the ear and support the earphone against the ear and increased to release the earphone from the ear. When in position about the ear(s) of the user the pliable arms are then shaped to the users personal configuration for comfort and stability.
