This specification and claims do not distinguish components by name, but rather by their functional differences. Throughout the specification and claims, the term "including" is open-ended and should be interpreted as meaning "including, but not limited to."

[0035] The ordinal numbers used in the specification, such as "first," "second," and "third," are intended to modify elements. They do not imply or represent any previous ordinal number of the element, nor do they represent the order of one element relative to another, or the order in the manufacturing method. The use of these ordinal numbers is merely to clearly distinguish one element with a certain name from another element with the same name.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a headset 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The headset 10 includes two earmuffs 100 and a headband 20. The headband 20 connects the two earmuffs 100.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 2A to 2F , which shows details of an earmuff 100 according to the present invention. The earmuff 100 includes a shell 110, an ear pad 120, and an adjustment member 130. The shell 110 has at least one positioning structure 112. The ear pad 120 is disposed on the shell 110. The adjustment member 130 is disposed between the ear pad 120 and the shell 110. The adjustment member 130 includes at least one adjustable portion 132 and at least one fixed portion 134. The at least one adjustable portion 132 is movably configured to correspond to the at least one positioning structure 112 of the shell 110. The at least one fixed portion 134 is fixed to the ear pad 120.

[0038] More specifically, the housing 110 includes a body 114. Figures 2A to 2F In the illustrated embodiment, the positioning structure 112 is formed directly on the main body 114. In other words, the housing 110 is integrally formed with the positioning structure 112. The number of positioning structures 112 can be the same as the number of adjustable portions 132 of the adjustment member 130, with a one-to-one correspondence between the positioning structures 112 and the adjustable portions 132.

[0039] The earmuff 100 may further include at least one positioning pin 140. The positioning pins 140 are slidably configured in the positioning structure 112. For example, the at least one adjustable portion 132 of the adjustment member 130 is correspondingly connected to the at least one positioning pin 140, that is, the adjustable portion 132 is configured in the positioning structure 112 of the shell 110 through the positioning pin 140. Therefore, it can be understood that the number of positioning pins 140 can be consistent with the number of positioning structures 112 and the number of adjustable portions 132 of the adjustment member 130, and correspond one to one. Each positioning pin 140 can be independently slid in the corresponding positioning structure 112 by the user by pinching the ear pad 120, thereby driving the shape of the corresponding adjustable portion 132 and the nearby ear pad 120 to change. Each positioning structure 112 may include a plurality of positioning holes H arranged along the radial direction of the earmuff 100. The positioning pin 140 corresponding to a particular positioning structure 112 is disposed in one of the plurality of positioning holes H of that positioning structure 112 and is movable between the plurality of positioning holes H. In this embodiment, the adjustment member 130 is annular in shape, corresponding to the shape of the ear pad 120. This allows the user to position the positioning pin 140 at a specific location within the plurality of positioning holes H, or to move the positioning pin 140 to another location within the plurality of positioning holes H, thereby fixing or changing the circular shape formed by the adjustment member 130, for example, fixing or changing the radial dimension of the adjustment member 130, and thereby correspondingly fixing or changing the shape of the ear pad 120. In other embodiments, the adjustment member 130 may also be a partially closed arc that conforms to the curvature of the ear pad 120, but practical applications are not limited thereto.

[0040] Although Figures 2A to 2F In the embodiment shown, the positioning structure 112 is directly formed on the main body 114, but the positioning structure 112 can also be separated from the main body 214 into different components. Figure 3In another embodiment of the earmuff 200, the housing 210 includes a main body 214 and at least one positioning plate 216. The positioning plate 216 is disposed on the main body 214, for example, locked to the main body 214. The positioning structure 112 is disposed in the positioning plate 216. The number of positioning plates 216 can be consistent with the number of positioning structures 112, that is, the at least one positioning structure 112 is correspondingly disposed in the at least one positioning plate 216. Based on the above two embodiments, the positioning structure 112 is integrally formed on the main body 214, as shown in FIG. Figures 2A to 2F The embodiment shown is conducive to the simplification of mechanical conduction and is more conducive to sound quality. The positioning structure 112 is formed on the positioning plate 216 and then assembled to the main body 214, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The embodiment shown is advantageous for replacing damaged components. The positioning plate 216 can be a metal plate, such as a hard metal plate that is not flexible.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 2A to 2F The ear pad 120 may include a covering layer 122 and a filling material 124 such as foam. The covering layer 122 and the filling material 124 therein form a space S with an adjustable volume. The covering layer 122 of the ear pad 120 may include an elastic portion 122E disposed along the inner circumferential wall of the ear pad 120, wherein the inner circumferential wall of the ear pad 120 generally refers to the circumferential wall of the inner ring of the ear pad 120. The fixing portion 134 of the adjustment member 130 is fixed to the elastic portion 122E. The elastic portion 122E of the ear pad 120 may have a hollow channel 122H. For example, the elastic portion 122E may have a double-layer structure, with the hollow channel 122H formed in the gap between the double-layer structure. At least a portion of the adjustment member 130 is disposed within the hollow channel 122H. In other words, the adjustment member 130 is disposed within the inner circumferential wall of the ear pad 120 located at the elastic portion 122E. More specifically, the adjusting member 130 is positioned at the fixing portion 134 to be configured in the hollow channel 122H. Such a configuration can be achieved by mechanical snapping, but is not limited thereto. The elastic portion 122E includes, for example, elastic leather. The other portions of the covering layer 122 other than the elastic portion 122E may include inelastic artificial leather, but are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the adjusting member 130 is connected and configured on a side of the covering layer 122 adjacent to the elastic portion 122E, wherein the side adjacent to the elastic portion 122E includes at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the elastic portion 122E. For example, the inner surface or the outer surface of the elastic portion 122E may be provided with an annular groove or a buckle for accommodating and fixing the adjusting member 130. This avoids designing the elastic portion 122E as a hollow shape, further reducing manufacturing costs.

[0042] The adjusting member 130 may be flexible. For example, the adjusting member 130 may be formed of a metal sheet. When the adjusting member 130 includes a plurality of adjustable portions 132 and a plurality of fixed portions 134, the adjustable portions 132 and the fixed portions 134 may be alternately arranged. More specifically, the adjustable portions 132 and the fixed portions 134 may be alternately arranged at equal intervals. Figures 2A to 2F As shown, in the earmuff 100, the adjustment member 130 has two adjustable parts 132 and two fixed parts 134, and the two adjustable parts 132 and the two fixed parts 134 are arranged alternately. In this case, the two adjustable parts 132 can be arranged on the long axis Y of the earmuff 100, and the two fixed parts 134 can be arranged on the short axis X of the earmuff 100 orthogonal to the long axis, as shown in FIG. Figures 2E to 2F As shown. It is understood that the number of adjustable parts 132 and the number of fixed parts can be less than or more than two. For example, Figure 4 In the earmuff 300 shown, the adjusting member 330 includes an adjustable portion 332 and a fixed portion 334. Figure 5 In the earmuff 400 shown, the adjustment member 430 includes four adjustable portions 432 and four fixed portions 434 .

[0043] The entire hearing adjustment structure, namely the adjustment member 130 , the positioning pin 140 , and the positioning structure 112 , can be minimized and quickly assembled and disassembled.

[0044] According to some embodiments, the earmuff 100 may further include an outer shell 150, which is combined with the housing 110. According to other embodiments, the outer shell 150 may be considered as another component of the headphone 10 that is not part of the earmuff 100 and is used to connect the headband 20 and the earmuff 100. Because the hearing adjustment structure of the earmuff 100 is modularly disposed in a portion of the earmuff 100 that is not part of the outer shell 150, the earmuff 100 can be easily and quickly removed and replaced, whether it is removed from the outer shell 150 or removed entirely from the outer shell 150.

[0045] According to some embodiments, the earmuff 100 may further include a sound generating unit 160 disposed in a space formed by the outer shell 150 and the housing 110. For example, the sound generating unit 160 may be assembled in combination with the housing 110.

[0046] When the user wants to change the listening experience of the earmuff 100, he or she can move the positioning pin 140 from one side of the earmuff 120 to the other positioning hole H, thereby changing the surrounding shape of the adjustment member 130 and changing the volume of the space S of the ear pad 120. A smaller volume of the space S will result in a less spacious listening experience with more treble, while a larger volume of the space S will result in a more spacious listening experience with less treble. For example, when the user wants to change the volume of the earmuff 120 to the other side of the earmuff 120, the user can move the positioning pin 140 from one side of the earmuff 120 to the other side of the earmuff 120. Figure 2E The smaller volume shown changes to Figure 2FIf the volume is larger, the user can remove the earphones or keep them on their head and then move the positioning pins 140 from the outside to the inside, so that the two positioning pins 140 move to the positioning holes H near the inside. The movement of the positioning pins 140 will cause the surrounding shape of the adjustment member 130 to change. The flexible adjustment member 130 transmits lateral force, and combined with the expansion of the elastic part, changes the shape and volume of the space S in the ear pad 120. When you want to change the volume from Figure 2F The larger volume shown changes to Figure 2E When the volume is smaller, the user can remove the earphones and slide the positioning pins 140 outward, moving the two positioning pins 140 into the positioning holes H located closer to the outside. The movement of the positioning pins 140 causes the shape of the adjusting member 130 to change. The flexible adjusting member 130 transmits lateral force, which, combined with the retraction of the elastic portion, changes the shape and volume of the space S within the ear pad 120. Thus, without having to replace the earmuffs, the user can intuitively achieve a different listening experience with a simple action.

[0047] It is understandable that, since each positioning pin 140 can slide independently, more adjustment options can be provided. For example, only one positioning pin 140 in the earmuff 100 can be moved so that the volume of the space S is between Figure 2E The volume of the middle space S and Figure 2F The volume of the middle space S is between the two, resulting in a listening experience somewhere in between. Furthermore, the number of positioning holes H is related to the number of levels of listening experience adjustment available. For example, when each positioning structure 112 includes three positioning holes H, compared to the two positioning holes H shown in the figure, the positioning pin 140 can rest in more positions, providing the user with more listening experience options and enabling multi-level adjustment of treble intensity.

[0048] Furthermore, since the user moves the positioning pin 140 from one side of the earmuff 120 and the hearing adjustment structure is not exposed, the housing 110 and the outer housing 150 can be completely sealed to prevent sound leakage.

[0049] In summary, the present invention provides a headset earmuff and a headset having the same. The headset earmuff comprises a housing, an earpad, and an adjustment member. The housing has at least one positioning structure. The earpad is disposed on the housing. The adjustment member is disposed between the earpad and the housing. The adjustment member comprises at least one adjustable portion and at least one fixed portion. The at least one adjustable portion is movably disposed corresponding to and associated with the at least one positioning structure of the housing. The at least one fixed portion is fixed to the earpad.

[0050] The present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments. However, these embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, modifications and improvements made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
