Abstract

A personal electronic listening system is disclosed wherein miniature moisture-protected speakers are electrically connected for operation to a personal electronic unit such as a stereo attached to the wearer by a belt, for example. The speaker units have pins projecting therefrom which serve to mount the speaker units in the vicinity of the wearer's ears by penetration of the pins through an article of clothing on the wearer in the vicinity of his ears. A corresponding clip engages the pin after penetration of the clothing. The pins are electrically connected to the speaker and a cable from the personal electronic unit connects to these pins via the engagement clips. The pins perform the dual function of mounting the speaker and also providing electrical connection thereto.
