A personal audio/visual device comprising a pair of normally spaced modules having lower contoured surfaces shaped to contact and be supported by the shoulders of a wearer. The two modules are coupled together at a back end thereof by a telescoping or folding structure adapted to allow horizontal adjustment between the modules. Integrated within each module are recessed audio speakers positionable adjacent the ears. In a preferred embodiment, the audio/visual device includes two pairs of submodules, each pair being coupled together by a hinge for pivoting movement within the same plane or scissoring movement in parallel planes. In an unfolded position, the lower submodules of the pairs rests on the shoulders of a wearer while the upper submodules touches the sides of a person's head and against the ears. In a folded position, the submodules are pivoted together and the telescoping or folding structure collapsed to minimize the space necessary to store the device.
