In 1924 Eugen Beyer founded a small company for electronic components in Berlin, Germany. He developed “dynamic transducers“ for cinema loudspeakers and modified them for other similar loudspeaker applications. One of his brilliant ideas was to take the sound to the location where people finally perceive it - the ear. He developed small loudspeakers and mounted them to a band, which was placed onto the people’s head. A legend in the history of headphones.
