Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphone technology, and in particular to an OWS Bluetooth headset with an external microphone. Background Technology

[0002] OWS (Open Wearable Stereo) Bluetooth headphones are a type of open-ear wearable stereo headphones designed to "liberate the ears." This means that the headphones don't need to be inserted deep into the ear canal; instead, they are secured to the outside of the ear via clips or hooks. This design not only ensures comfortable wear and prevents discomfort even after prolonged use, but also avoids pressure differences and hygiene issues within the ear canal.

[0003] Some OWS Bluetooth headsets on the market are equipped with an external microphone, which is magnetically attached to the headset body to improve the sound quality of recordings.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202320782616.3 discloses a Bluetooth headset with an external microphone. Specifically, it discloses "a microphone assembly and a headset body, wherein the microphone assembly and the headset body are detachably connected via a magnetic structure. The headset body includes a shell, the top of which has a circular mounting position for connecting the microphone assembly. A magnetically attracted iron ring is disposed within the circular mounting position. The microphone assembly has a circular protrusion corresponding to the circular mounting position, and an electroplated conductive magnet corresponding to the magnetically attracted iron ring is disposed within the circular protrusion." "The shell contains a main board and a positive electrode spring and a negative electrode first spring disposed on the main board. The positive electrode spring abuts against the copper pillar, and the negative electrode first spring abuts against the magnetically attracted iron ring." This design has the following problems: the microphone assembly is mounted in the circular mounting position of the shell, the positive electrode spring abuts against the copper pillar, and the negative electrode first spring abuts against the magnetically attracted iron ring. The conductive structure between the microphone rod and the headphone body in this design is relatively complex, and the connection between the microphone rod and the headphone body is a sliding conductive connection, which is prone to poor contact.
