[0037] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0039] Headphones are widely used in gaming, voice communication, live streaming, and other scenarios. Headphones with audio receivers (such as microphone booms) can provide high-quality voice input. However, the audio receivers of existing over-ear headphones typically use a fixed rotating axis design. When a user wears glasses, the audio receiver can easily collide with the temples of the glasses when the receiver is moved (from folding up to folding down or vice versa), affecting the user experience and potentially causing the glasses to shift or become uncomfortable.

[0040] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure proposes an earphone that allows the audio receiver 2 to avoid the position of the glasses and prevent the audio receiver 2 from colliding with the temple of the glasses.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, an earphone includes an audio output unit 1 and an audio receiver 2. The audio output unit 1 is used to output audio signals. The audio receiver 2 is movably connected to one side of the audio output unit 1 and can rotate relative to the audio output unit 1 within a target area. A clearance unit 3 is disposed in a first area within the target area. When the audio receiver 2 moves to the first area, the clearance unit 3 can move the audio receiver 2 away from the audio output unit 1.

[0043] The audio output section 1 refers to the part of the headphones responsible for converting electrical signals into sound signals and transmitting the sound to the user. It typically consists of a speaker or driver unit, and these components directly affect the headphone's sound quality, comfort, and user experience. Depending on the design and application, the audio output section 1 can be categorized into several types; for example, it can be a dynamic type, generating sound through a small electroacoustic transducer. Dynamic audio output sections 1 utilize a current flowing through a coil to generate a magnetic field, which interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. These headphones have excellent low-frequency response and high efficiency. Electrostatic audio output sections 1 use a very thin diaphragm with charges applied to both sides, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound through changes in a high-voltage electrostatic field. Electrostatic headphones offer extremely clear and accurate sound reproduction and require a dedicated amplifier. The audio output section 1 can also be a planar magnetic type, also known as isomagnetic or quadrature field drive technology. Planar magnetic audio output sections 1 use a thin film with a conductive coil that vibrates under the influence of a magnetic field to produce sound. Compared to traditional dynamic headphones, they offer faster response and smoother sound characteristics, especially excelling in the mid-to-high frequency range. The audio output unit 1 can also be bone conduction type. Unlike the traditional air conduction method, the bone conduction audio output unit 1 transmits sound vibrations directly to the inner ear through the temporal bone without blocking the ears. This allows users to enjoy music while maintaining awareness of the external environment, making it especially suitable for sports enthusiasts and people with hearing impairments.

[0044] The audio receiver 2 typically refers to the part of the headphones responsible for capturing the user's voice, such as the microphone assembly. It converts the user's voice (sound waves) into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to another device or system for processing via a suitable transmission method (such as wired or wireless connection). For example, the audio receiver 2 can be an electret condenser microphone (ECM), a type of microphone widely used in headphones due to its cost-effectiveness and small size. These microphones utilize a diaphragm with a permanent static charge and a backplate forming one plate of a capacitor. When sound waves cause the diaphragm to vibrate, the capacitance changes, generating a variable electrical signal. The audio receiver 2 can also be a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone, a new type of microphone based on microelectromechanical technology, offering advantages such as small size, high reliability, and strong resistance to radio frequency interference. MEMS microphones are increasingly used in smartphones and headphones, especially suitable for products requiring highly integrated designs. The audio receiver 2 can also be a dynamic microphone, which generates electrical signals through the interaction of a moving coil with a magnet, resulting in a relatively simple structure. The audio receiver 2 can also be a directional microphone. These microphones are designed to pick up sound only from a specific direction while suppressing sound from other directions. In noisy environments, directional microphones can help improve speech clarity and are commonly used in professional communications and recording. The audio receiver 2 can also be an omnidirectional microphone. Unlike directional microphones, omnidirectional microphones can pick up sound evenly from all directions. This type of microphone is suitable for situations where ambient sound needs to be captured, such as meeting recording or live interviews. The audio receiver 2 can also be a noise-canceling microphone, employing active noise cancellation technology. It cancels out noise by generating sound waves that are out of phase with external noise, thereby improving speech clarity.

[0045] The audio receiver 2 can also be a telescopic arm, allowing it to not only rotate but also extend and retract along its length. This enables more precise adjustment of the distance between the microphone and the mouth while avoiding collisions with other objects. Alternatively, the audio receiver 2 can be a flexible gooseneck tube, providing high flexibility and allowing users to bend and fix the microphone's position at will. This approach is ideal for applications requiring frequent microphone position adjustments.

[0046] The avoidance part 3 is a structure specifically designed to prevent the audio receiver 2 (such as a microphone pole) from colliding with the temple of the glasses. This design allows the audio receiver 2 to move flexibly, avoiding obstacles and improving the wearer's comfort and user experience. For example, the avoidance part 3 can be a protruding structure, with the audio receiver 2 contacting the protruding structure to drive the audio receiver 2 away from the audio output part 1, thereby preventing the audio receiver 2 from contacting the temple of the glasses; the avoidance part 3 can also be a magnetic structure, using magnetic force to drive the audio receiver 2 away from the audio output part 1, thereby preventing the audio receiver 2 from contacting the temple of the glasses.

[0047] The audio output unit 1 and the audio receiver 2 can be connected in several ways. For example, they can be connected using a ball-and-socket joint, which allows the audio receiver 2 to rotate and position freely in three-dimensional space. By inserting a spherical component into a corresponding groove or "socket," the user can easily adjust the audio receiver 2 to any desired angle and position. Alternatively, they can be connected using a hinge, which allows the audio receiver 2 to rotate about an axis. This design is relatively simple and provides sufficient flexibility to avoid obstacles such as eyeglass temples. It can be a single-axis or multi-axis design, allowing for a greater range of adjustment.

[0048] The target area refers to the entire range within which the audio receiver 2 can freely rotate or move on the headphones. This area is designed to allow users to flexibly adjust the microphone position for optimal voice input while avoiding collisions with obstacles such as eyeglass temples. Within this area, the audio receiver 2 can be adjusted in multiple directions and angles, ensuring that users can find the most suitable angle and position according to their needs.

[0049] The first area is a specially designated sub-area within the target area. When the audio receiver 2 is positioned within this area, an obstacle avoidance mechanism is activated, allowing the audio receiver 2 to move away from the audio output unit 1, thereby avoiding the temples of glasses or other obstacles. In other words, the first area is a spatial range specifically designed to address potential inconveniences encountered by users wearing glasses. This special design allows users to easily adjust the microphone's position without obstruction, even when wearing glasses.

[0050] This disclosure provides a clearance part 3 within the rotatable target area of ​​the audio receiver 2. When the audio receiver 2 passes through a first area within the target area, it moves away from the audio output part 1 to avoid the position of the glasses. This allows the audio receiver 2 to be flexibly adjusted over a larger range (target area), and within a specific sub-area (first area), it can also move away from the audio output part 1 via the clearance part 3. This design flexibility ensures that even when the user wears glasses, the microphone position can be easily adjusted, avoiding unnecessary collisions with the temples of the glasses. Specifically, when the user adjusts the audio receiver 2 to the first area, the clearance part 3 causes the microphone boom to move outward, effectively avoiding the temples of the glasses or other obstacles, preventing glasses misalignment or discomfort due to positional conflicts.

[0051] In some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the audio output unit 1 is provided with two units, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a connecting part 11, through which two audio output parts 1 are connected, and an audio receiving part 2 is connected to the audio output parts 1. The audio receiving part 2 is connected to the side of the audio output parts 1 away from the other audio output part 1.

[0052] The connector 11 refers to the structural component used to connect two audio output units 1 (e.g., left and right earcups). It not only serves as a physical connection but may also integrate functional components such as adjustment mechanisms and circuitry. For example, the connector 11 can be a headband-style connector 11, made of a rigid material and with a non-adjustable shape. This type of connector 11 is simple and straightforward, suitable for headphones with a fixed shape. Alternatively, the connector 11 can be an adjustable headband, allowing users to adjust its length according to their head size for optimal wearing comfort. The connector 11 can also be a suspended headband: automatically adapting to the user's head contour through elastic materials or adaptive mechanisms, providing a more snug fit. The connector 11 can also be a neckband type, where the audio output unit 1 is connected to a strap that wraps around the neck. This type is particularly suitable for use during exercise because it provides better stability and reduces pressure on the head. Soft yet strong materials (such as silicone or fabric) can also be used for the connector 11, providing necessary support while increasing wearing comfort. This type of connector 11 is commonly found in some high-end headphone designs, especially those products that emphasize user experience.

[0053] The headphones include two audio output units 1 (e.g., left and right earcups), responsible for transmitting sound signals to the user's left and right ears respectively. An audio receiver 2 (e.g., a microphone boom) is connected to one audio output unit 1 and located on the side of that audio output unit 1 furthest from the other. In other words, the microphone boom is located on one side of the headphones (either the left or right) and extends outwards. Positioning the audio receiver 2 on the side of the audio output unit 1 furthest from the other allows for full utilization of the overall headphone structure and avoids interference between the microphone boom and other components (e.g., the connector 11 or the audio output unit 1 on the other side). This layout also reduces the overall size and complexity of the headphones, making them lighter and more portable. Because the audio receiver 2 is located on one side of the headphones, the user can more flexibly avoid eyeglass temples or other obstacles when adjusting the microphone position. Especially when combined with the avoidance part 3 design, the audio receiver 2 can move flexibly within the target area and the first area, further improving wearing comfort and ease of use. Placing the audio receiver 2 on one side of the headphones also conforms to the operating habits of most users, facilitating one-handed adjustment of the microphone position.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the target area is located on the side of the audio output unit 1 that is relatively far away; the target area has a rotation plane, the audio receiving unit 2 can rotate in the rotation plane, and the avoidance part 3 is a protrusion that protrudes from the rotation plane so that when the audio receiving unit 2 moves to the first area, the avoidance part 3 can contact the audio receiving unit 2 to drive it to move away from the audio output unit 1.

[0055] The rotation plane refers to a virtual two-dimensional plane on which the audio receiver 2 (such as a microphone boom) can rotate or be adjusted. The rotation plane can be perpendicular to the rotation axis of the audio receiver 2, allowing the audio receiver 2 to rotate freely on it. It provides the audio receiver 2 with a defined operating range, enabling the user to adjust the angle and position of the microphone within a certain range to avoid collisions with other objects (such as eyeglass temples) and to find the optimal voice capture position.

[0056] In this context, a protrusion refers to a portion that extends from the surface of the headphones or a component. Its primary function is as part of an obstacle avoidance mechanism, contacting and propelling the audio receiver 2 when it enters a specific position. The sides of the protrusion can be semi-circular, which is easy to manufacture and provides a smooth contact surface. A semi-circular protrusion reduces friction and wear when in contact with the audio receiver 2, while ensuring smooth pushing action. The protrusion can also be wedge-shaped, a design that helps guide the audio receiver 2 along a predetermined path. A wedge-shaped protrusion can gradually rise from one side, allowing the audio receiver 2 to be naturally pushed to the other side upon contact, achieving a more effective obstacle avoidance effect. The protrusion can also be arc-shaped, with an arc-shaped rotation path design around the audio receiver 2, providing a more natural transition path and smoother movement. This shape is particularly suitable for applications requiring large angle adjustments. The protrusion can also be stepped, allowing for phased changes in the position of the audio receiver 2, suitable for situations requiring multi-level adjustments. Each step can be set with a different height, providing users with more options. The protrusion can also be a composite shape composed of various basic shapes. For example, combining the characteristics of circles and wedges can provide different avoidance effects at different stages, optimizing overall performance.

[0057] The protrusions are typically made of durable and somewhat flexible materials, such as plastic or rubber, to ensure reliability over long-term use. The height and width of the protrusions need to be carefully designed to effectively drive the audio receiver 2 without being so large as to affect the overall appearance of the headphones or wearing comfort.

[0058] Setting the target area on the side relatively far from the audio output section 1 allows for full utilization of the headphone's spatial layout, giving the microphone boom a greater range of motion and reducing the chance of collisions with other components or obstacles (such as eyeglass temples). The protruding avoidance part 3 can automatically push the audio receiver 2 outward when necessary, further enhancing wearing comfort and ease of use, especially for users who wear glasses, this design greatly reduces discomfort.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a first magnetic structure 4 is also included, and the first magnetic structure 4 and the avoidance part 3 are connected; the audio output part 1 includes a second magnetic structure 5, and the sides of the first magnetic structure 4 and the second magnetic structure 5 that are close to each other repel each other so that when the audio receiving part 2 moves to the first region, the avoidance part 3 can drive the audio receiving part 2 to move away from the audio output part 1.

[0060] The first magnetic structure 4 is connected to the avoidance part 3 and can be located near the audio receiver 2 or directly integrated into the avoidance part 3. Its main function is to use magnetic force to push the audio receiver 2 to adjust its position. The second magnetic structure 5 is located in the audio output part 1, and its design allows the sides of the first magnetic structure 4 and the second magnetic structure 5 to repel each other. This means that when they approach each other, a repulsive force is generated between them. When the audio receiver 2 moves to a specific first area, the first magnetic structure 4 will approach the second magnetic structure 5. Due to the repulsive force between them, this repulsive force will cause the audio receiver 2 to move away from the audio output part 1. This effectively prevents the audio receiver 2 from colliding with the temples of glasses or other obstacles.

[0061] The avoidance part 3 can also be made of magnetic material, that is, the first magnetic structure 4 and the avoidance part 3 are an integral structure or the avoidance part 3 is the first magnetic structure 4. The avoidance purpose is achieved by the mutual repulsion between the first magnetic structure 4 and the second magnetic structure 5.

[0062] By adding magnets to the microphone rod (audio receiver 2), and placing magnets in the same direction along the designated rotation path, the repulsion between like poles allows the microphone rod to be pushed away from the eyeglass frame, preventing it from touching the frame. For example, actual measurements show that the distance from the corner of the eyeglass frame to the ear is between 10-11 cm. The microphone rod is designed to be 11 cm long, and its inward bend typically exceeds the eyeglass frame by about 3 mm. Actual testing with a force gauge shows that a force of 300g is required to push the microphone rod away by more than 3mm. Using N52 magnets (2mm thick, 5mm wide, 3mm apart), and simulating a 300g force using simulation software, a magnet length of 10.5mm is required. Therefore, two N52 magnets (10.5*5*2mm each) can be installed to push the microphone rod outward by 3mm when it rotates to the eyeglass frame position, preventing contact with the frame.

[0063] The automatic avoidance mechanism implemented using a magnetic structure allows for quick and smooth adjustment of the audio receiver 2's position without manual intervention. This design significantly improves avoidance efficiency and reduces the inconvenience of manual adjustments. The automatic adjustment function provided by the magnetic structure not only simplifies the user's operation but also enhances wearing comfort. This design is particularly beneficial for users who wear glasses, significantly reducing potential discomfort during wear. Compared to traditional mechanical avoidance mechanisms, the magnetic structure is less prone to wear and has lower maintenance costs. Furthermore, the absence of complex mechanical parts results in a relatively low failure rate, thus enhancing the overall durability and reliability of the product.

[0064] like Figure 2As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the second magnetic structure 5 extends in a direction away from the audio output section 1 to protrude beyond the rotation plane of the target area. This means it is located at a higher position, beyond the rotation plane where the audio receiver 2 is normally located. When the audio receiver 2 moves to the first area, the first magnetic structure 4 approaches the second magnetic structure 5. Due to the repulsive force between them, this repulsive force causes the audio receiver 2 to move away from the audio output section 1. In this way, even if the user wears glasses, collision between the audio receiver 2 and the temples of the glasses can be effectively avoided.

[0065] The design of the second magnetic structure 5 protruding from the rotation plane allows it to interact with the first magnetic structure 4 as soon as the audio receiver 2 enters the first region. This enables the avoidance mechanism to be activated earlier and faster, improving the sensitivity and response speed of the avoidance mechanism. The second magnetic structure 5, protruding from the rotation plane, can operate over a wider range, thus providing stronger propulsion. This helps ensure that the audio receiver 2 stays sufficiently away from obstacles, reducing the possibility of collisions.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a rotating shaft 6 and a support shaft 7 are also included. The audio receiving unit 2 is rotatably connected to the audio receiving unit 2 via the rotating shaft 6. The support shaft 7 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 6 and can slide along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 6. The support shaft 7 is connected to the audio receiving unit 2 so that the audio connection unit 11 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 6.

[0067] The pivot 6 is a key component for enabling the rotation of the audio receiver 2. The audio receiver 2 is connected to the audio output unit 1 via the pivot 6, allowing it to rotate freely within a specific plane. The design of the pivot 6 ensures that the audio receiver 2 can flexibly adjust its angle to achieve the optimal voice capture position. For example, the pivot 6 can be divided into two parts: a columnar structure and a spring. The columnar structure is connected to the interior of the housing 8 via the spring. A support shaft 7 can be fitted onto the outside of the columnar structure and the spring. A boss is provided on the section of the columnar structure away from the spring, and the boss cooperates with the support shaft 7 to fix its position. When the support shaft 7 slides along the extension direction of the pivot 6 through the connection hole 9 of the housing 8, the columnar structure and the support shaft 7 move synchronously, the spring stretches and elastically deforms. When the audio receiver 2 moves to an area other than the target area and the first area, the elastic structure 10 releases its elasticity to reset the support shaft 7 and the audio receiver 2.

[0068] The support shaft 7 can also be connected to the rotating shaft 6 via a key, so that the support shaft 7 and the rotating shaft 6 can rotate synchronously. This allows the rotating shaft 6 to fix the position of the support shaft 7, ensuring the stability of the support shaft installation.

[0069] The support shaft 7 not only provides additional support for the audio receiver 2 but also grants it greater freedom of movement. Specifically, the support shaft 7 is connected to the audio receiver 2, allowing it to not only rotate around the pivot 6 but also to move linearly along the extension direction of the pivot 6. This facilitates the audio receiver 2's movement away from the audio output unit 1 when avoiding obstacles in the first region. When the audio receiver 2 enters the first region, in addition to the driving force provided by the magnetic structure, the sliding function of the support shaft 7 also helps the audio receiver 2 more effectively avoid obstacles (such as eyeglass temples). The sliding characteristic of the support shaft 7 allows the audio receiver 2 to automatically or manually adjust to the most suitable distance as needed, avoiding collisions.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, an elastic structure 10 is also included, which is connected to the support shaft 7; when the audio receiving unit 2 moves to the first region, the support shaft 7 slides along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 6 so that the avoidance part 3 moves away from the audio output unit 1, and the elastic structure 10 elastically deforms; when the audio receiving unit 2 moves to other regions besides the target region and the first region, the elastic structure 10 releases its elasticity so that the support shaft 7 and the audio receiving unit 2 are reset.

[0071] The headphone design further incorporates an elastic structure 10 to enhance the automatic reset function and ease of use of the audio receiver 2 (such as the microphone boom). This design not only improves the user experience but also allows the headphones to more intelligently adapt to different wearing conditions. The elastic structure 10 is connected to the support shaft 7, and its main function is to provide necessary elastic support when the audio receiver 2 moves. When the audio receiver 2 needs to avoid obstacles (such as eyeglass temples), the elastic structure 10 undergoes elastic deformation; when it does not need to avoid obstacles, it releases stored energy, allowing the support shaft 7 and the audio receiver 2 to return to their initial positions. The support shaft 7 is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 6 and can slide along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 6. When the audio receiver 2 moves to the first region, the support shaft 7 slides along the axis of the rotating shaft 6, while the elastic structure 10 deforms, pushing the avoidance part 3 to move away from the audio output part 1, thereby avoiding collisions with obstacles such as eyeglass temples. When the audio receiver 2 moves out of the first area and back to another part of the target area, the elastic structure 10 releases the stored energy, causing the support shaft 7 and the audio receiver 2 to automatically return to their initial positions. This process eliminates the need for manual adjustment by the user, providing great convenience and comfort.

[0072] like Figure 3As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, the audio receiver 2 includes a housing 8 with a connection hole 9, and a support shaft 7 is slidably connected within the connection hole 9. The audio receiver 2 includes a housing 8, which is typically used to protect internal electronic components (such as a microphone sensor). One or more connection holes 9 are provided on the housing 8, which serve to provide sliding connection points for the support shaft 7. The support shaft 7 is slidably connected to the housing 8 of the audio receiver 2 through the connection hole 9. This means that the support shaft 7 can slide freely within the connection hole 9 along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 6, thereby allowing the audio receiver 2 to not only rotate around the rotating shaft 6, but also to make linear displacements along the direction of the rotating shaft 6. The elastic structure 10 mentioned in the previous description is connected to the support shaft 7. When the audio receiver 2 moves to the first region, the support shaft 7 slides along the connection hole 9, pushing the avoidance part 3 to move away from the audio output part 1, at which time the elastic structure 10 deforms; and when the audio receiver 2 leaves the first region, the elastic structure 10 releases the stored energy, causing the support shaft 7 and the audio receiver 2 to return to their original positions.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in some modified embodiments of this disclosure, a receiving space is provided inside the housing 8, the first end of the support shaft 7 extends into the housing 8, one end of the elastic structure 10 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 8, and the other end of the elastic structure 10 is connected to the first end of the support shaft 7. A dedicated receiving space is provided inside the housing 8 of the audio receiver 2 to accommodate a portion of the support shaft 7 and the elastic structure 10. This not only helps protect these components from the external environment but also ensures their effective operation within a limited space. The first end of the support shaft 7 (i.e., the end closer to the audio receiver 2) extends into the housing 8 and is fixed in the receiving space. This design allows the support shaft 7 to slide freely within the connection hole 9 while maintaining connection with the internal elastic structure 10. One end of the elastic structure 10 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 8, while the other end is connected to the first end of the support shaft 7. When the audio receiver 2 moves to the first region, the support shaft 7 slides along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 6, causing the elastic structure 10 to deform; when the audio receiver 2 leaves the first region, the elastic structure 10 releases the stored energy, causing the support shaft 7 and the audio receiver 2 to reset.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] A second aspect of this disclosure provides an electronic device, including a host and headphones, for generating and outputting a first audio signal; such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the headphones include an audio output unit 1, an audio receiving unit 2, and a clearance unit 3. The audio output unit 1 can output audio information based on an audio signal; the audio receiving unit 2 can obtain a second audio signal and is movably connected to one side of the audio output unit 1. The audio receiving unit 2 can rotate relative to the audio output unit 1 within a target area; the clearance unit 3 is disposed in a first area within the target area. When the audio receiving unit 2 moves to the first area, the clearance unit 3 can cause the audio receiving unit 2 to move away from the audio output unit 1; when the host and the headphones are in communication connection, the audio output unit 1 of the headphones can output first audio information corresponding to the first audio signal based on the first audio signal; the second audio signal obtained by the audio receiving unit 2 of the headphones can be transmitted to the host.

[0076] The main unit is used to generate audio signals and transmit them to headphones via wired or wireless means. Additionally, the main unit can receive audio signals from the headphones (such as the user's voice) and further process or forward them. For example, the main unit can be a personal computer (PC) with powerful computing capabilities and a rich array of interface options, supporting high-quality audio input and output. Users can adjust audio settings through software for a highly customized experience. The main unit can also be a smartphone or tablet, highly portable, integrating a high-performance processor and advanced wireless communication technology. They typically come equipped with built-in microphones and speakers, but can also provide a superior audio experience through headphones. The main unit can also be a gaming console, specifically designed to run video games, providing high-fidelity audio and graphics. Gaming consoles typically support multiple audio output methods. The main unit can also be a laptop, combining the power of a desktop computer with portability, suitable for users who need to work anytime, anywhere. Most laptops come equipped with built-in speakers and microphones, but can also achieve better sound quality through external headphones. The main unit can also be a smart speaker, integrating voice recognition technology and internet connectivity, allowing users to control various smart home devices via voice commands. Smart speakers typically have good audio playback capabilities, but their audio input functions are relatively limited.

[0077] The specific structure of the headphones can be as described in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. By establishing a communication connection between the host and the headphones, bidirectional audio transmission is achieved. The first audio signal sent by the host can be played out through the audio output unit 1 of the headphones, while the second audio signal captured by the audio receiver 2 of the headphones can be transmitted back to the host in real time. This design greatly enhances the user's audio interaction experience and is suitable for various application scenarios, such as remote conferencing and game communication. The design of the avoidance part 3 specifically considers the wearing comfort of users who wear glasses. Through an intelligent avoidance mechanism, the audio receiver 2 can automatically adjust its position when needed to avoid collision with the temples of the glasses, reducing discomfort during wear and improving the overall user experience. The audio receiver 2 is movably connected to one side of the audio output unit 1 and can rotate freely within the target area. This allows users to flexibly adjust the microphone position according to their needs, ensuring optimal voice capture. Simultaneously, combined with the function of the avoidance part 3, the user's operation steps are further simplified.

[0078] The above are merely specific embodiments of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
