Headphones with adaptable fit

A wearable audio component includes a first cable (16) and an audio source in electrical communication with the first cable (16). A housing (25) defines an interior and an exterior, the audio source being contained within the interior thereof. The exterior includes an ear engaging surface, an outer surface, and a peripheral surface extending between the front and outer surfaces. The peripheral surface includes a channel (28) open along a length to surrounding portions of the peripheral surface and having a depth to extend partially between the front and outer surfaces. A portion of the channel is covered by a bridge member (40) that defines an aperture (42) between and open to adjacent portions of the channel (28). The cable (16) is connected with the housing at a first location disposed within the channel (28) remote from the bridge member (40) and is captured in so as to extend through the aperture (42) in a slidable engagement therewith.
