For example, users can experience ear pain caused by ill-fitting ear cups, temple pain caused by ear cups pressing against eyeglasses, general headaches caused by ear cups pressing too tightly against the user's head, etc. Another discomfort that users often complain about is hot ears. For example, gamers often use earphones for long periods of time, which can cause the temperature inside the ear cups and around the ears where the earphone pads press against their heads to increase. As a result, many gamers and other users often complain that their ears become hot, sweaty, itchy, and generally uncomfortable.

[0003] The head-mounted earphone protects the hearing of the ear better than the earphone, wears more comfortably, and the head-mounted earphone atmosphere and space positioning are better than the earphone. The head-mounted earphone has strong sound quality and a sense of immersion. The existing head-mounted earphone is good in sound quality and ear protection, but the heat dissipation effect is not paid attention to. For example, in summer, the ear cups of the head-mounted earphone are long-term covered on the ears, and if there is no good heat dissipation, it can cause a lot of sweating of the ears, which has an adverse effect on the ears of the human body. Therefore, when the head-mounted earphone is designed, a heat dissipation mechanism needs to be considered to solve the problem of overheating inside the ear cups. SUMMARY

[0007] As a further improvement, a circulating micropump is provided on the first heat dissipation housing.

[0009] As a further improvement, a miniature fan is provided on the first heat sink housing.
