Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of earphones, and in particular relates to a dual-mode earphone assembly. Background Art

[0002] Existing headphones are divided into two types: Bluetooth headphones (wireless headphones) and wired headphones. The market for wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones is growing, and almost everyone cannot live without headphones, but problems with their use are also becoming more and more apparent. Wired headphones are inconvenient to carry and easy to lose; and in recent years, mobile phones have become one of the main audio playback devices, but the types of headphone interfaces on mobile phones are not completely unified, and the problem of universality also bothers users. The biggest problem with Bluetooth headphones is that they need to be powered by a power supply, and their maximum single-use time is limited by the battery capacity, so it is common for the headphones to suddenly run out of power during use; and, generally speaking, the quality of the wireless audio signal of Bluetooth headphones is limited by the transmission method, resulting in the sound quality of Bluetooth headphones being inferior to that of wired headphones.

[0003] In the prior art, there are also dual-mode headphones that can play both Bluetooth and wired audio, which solve the above problems to a certain extent. However, the main body of such dual-mode headphones is a Bluetooth headset, which is generally equipped with a plug at one end of the busbar and inserted into the concave interface of the Bluetooth headset to transmit audio signals to the Bluetooth headset. Since Bluetooth headsets are mostly small structures, at least electronic devices such as batteries, circuit boards, diaphragms, and acoustic devices are arranged inside; the above-mentioned concave interface setting will inevitably occupy the space of other devices, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight of Bluetooth headsets and reduces the user experience.
