Abstract

A headset (12) is described for use in connection with communication device. When used with wireless applications, the headset (12) is housed in a generally elongated casing having an ear bud (40), having a speaker (14) and a battery pack (18). The battery pack (18) includes a clip (48) that is designed to cradle the helix of a user's ear against the casing and is positioned distal of the ear bud (40) such that the battery pack (18) is located behind the user's ear when the headset (12) is in its operating position. The battery pack (18) and the ear bud (40) are further positioned on the casing to counterbalance the end of the casing opposite the ear bud (40) and to equally distribute the weight of the headset (12) about the ear bud (40).
