[0039] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0040] It should be noted that when using "-" to represent a range in this embodiment, the endpoint values ​​should be included, such as 1-10. This range should be understood as greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 10.

[0041] Headset devices refer to a type of device worn on a user's head, such as headphones, earmuffs, AR devices, and VR devices. They typically include a headband and two accessories connected to the headband. For example, when the headset is a pair of headphones, the accessories could be earmuffs connected to the headband.

[0042] Typically, the headband is covered with a protective sleeve, allowing the wearer to wear it for extended periods without discomfort. However, in these technologies, the protective sleeve is usually fixedly connected to the headband, making it difficult to clean if it becomes soiled or damaged.

[0043] In existing headband devices, the headband and protective cover are mostly designed as a single unit, making it inconvenient for users to disassemble and replace them. During the use of headphones, the protective cover is easily soiled, worn, cracked, and peeled, generally lasting only 6 months to 1 year, which is far less than the lifespan of the entire device. If the entire device has to be replaced due to damage to the protective cover, the cost of use will increase significantly.

[0044] Therefore, this application provides a head-mounted device to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a head-mounted device that can fit around a user's head for wearing. The head-mounted device includes, but is not limited to, any one of headphones, over-ear headphones, AR devices, and VR devices. For ease of description, headphones 100 will be used as an example in the following description.

[0046] The headset 100 includes a headband 10 and two accessories 20. The headband 10 is arc-shaped, with one end connected to one accessory 20 and the other end connected to the other accessory 20. The two accessories 20 are symmetrically arranged. When a user wears the headset 100, the headband 10 is typically positioned above the user's head. The headband 10 can either fit snugly against the user's head or have a certain gap. The accessories 20 can be earcups, which fit snugly against the user's ears, allowing the user to hear the sound emitted by the headset 100 through the earcups. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the accessories 20 may not be earcups; for example, they may be adjacent to the user's ears rather than covering them.

[0047] In some embodiments, the headphones 100 also include a protective cover assembly 30 that covers at least a portion of the headband 10 and is configured to be detachably connected to the headband 10.

[0048] The outer leather cover of the headband is easily soiled, worn, cracked, and peeling due to prolonged friction with hair and contact with sweat, affecting the user experience. Especially with the widespread use of headphones in public places like internet cafes, the frequency and environment of use are even higher, further shortening the lifespan of the headband cover. Currently, most headphones on the market have non-removable headband covers. Replacing the entire headset due to damage or dirt on a single headband cover would significantly increase usage and operating costs.

[0049] By detachably connecting the protective cover assembly 30 to the headband 10, the protective cover assembly 30 can be disassembled and cleaned when it becomes dirty, thus reducing the risk of water entering the headphones during cleaning and affecting their use. When the protective cover assembly 30 is damaged, only the protective cover assembly 30 needs to be replaced, instead of the entire headphones 100. This not only effectively controls user costs but also allows users to customize the headband 10 with different colored protective covers to enhance their experience, providing greater potential for the future development of the headphones 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, the protective sleeve assembly 30 includes a sleeve body 31 and a zipper 32. The sleeve body 31 has an opening 311 and an inner cavity 312 communicating with the opening 311. The headband 10 is located in the inner cavity 312 so that the sleeve body 31 covers the headband 10. The zipper 32 is disposed along the opening 311 of the sleeve body 31 to control the opening and closing of the opening 311 of the sleeve body 31.

[0051] The opening 311 of the sleeve 31 is controlled by the zipper 32. The user can remove the sleeve 31 or install it onto the headband 10 by unzipping the zipper 32; the operation is simple and quick. It is understood that, in addition to controlling the opening 311 via the zipper 32, other methods can be used in other embodiments to control the opening 311, such as button connections or Velcro connections.

[0052] In some embodiments, the opening 311 of the sleeve 31 extends along the length direction of the sleeve 31 and is arc-shaped. The opening 311 extends along the length direction of the sleeve 31, allowing the opening 311 to have a longer size, and the shape of the opening 311 can be set to be consistent with the shape of the head beam 10, so as to facilitate the installation and removal between the sleeve 31 and the head beam 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the opening 311 of the sleeve 31 extends to the end of the sleeve 31. Specifically, the opening 311 of the sleeve 31 extends from one end of the sleeve 31 to the other end of the sleeve 31, which allows the opening 311 of the sleeve 31 to be as large as possible.

[0054] In some embodiments, the opening 311 of the sleeve 31 is located on the outer side of the sleeve 31. The sleeve 31 has an outer side and an inner side, wherein the outer side is the upper side and the inner side is the lower side. By placing the opening 311 on the outer side, the zipper 32 can be easily pulled by the user on the outer side, and the zipper 32 located on the outer side can also serve as a decorative element.

[0055] In some embodiments, the head beam 10 includes a beam body 11 and a beam liner 12. The beam body 11 is arc-shaped and is connected at one end to a fitting 20 and at the other end to another fitting 20. The beam liner 12 covers at least a portion of the beam body 11, and a protective sleeve assembly 30 covers the beam liner 12.

[0056] Optionally, the beam 11 can be made of metal, and the beam liner 12 completely covers the middle area of ​​the beam 11, with both ends of the beam 11 extending from the beam liner 12. The beam liner 12 is fixedly connected to the beam 11, and the fixing method is not limited, for example, it can be connected by glue. The sleeve 31 covers the beam liner 12 to protect it. The beam liner 11 can be made of soft materials such as sponge, and the sleeve 31 can be made of materials such as leather or fabric to improve wearing comfort.

[0057] In some embodiments, the head beam 10 is provided with a connecting shell 40, which is connected to the protective sleeve to fix the protective sleeve to the head beam 10. The connecting shell 40 is located at the ends of the protective sleeve assembly 30, i.e., at both ends of the beam liner 12. The zipper head 32 of the zipper 32 can be concealed within the connecting shell 40 to prevent accidental slippage.

[0058] In some embodiments, the protective sleeve assembly 30 is provided with a connection hole 313. Specifically, the connection hole 313 is located at the end of the sleeve body 31. The connecting shell 40 includes a first shell 41 and a second shell 42. The first shell 41 is disposed on the outer side of the headband 10 and has a first hole 411, which is directly opposite to the connection hole 313. The second shell 42 is disposed opposite to the first shell 41 and is located on the inner side of the headband 10. The second shell 42 is provided with a second hole 423, which is directly opposite to the connection hole 313. A connecting screw 50 passes through the first hole 411, the connection hole 313, and the second hole 423.

[0059] By inserting connecting screws 50 through the first hole 411, the connecting hole 313, and the second hole 423, the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 are connected, and the connecting shell 40 is also fixedly connected to the sleeve 31. The first housing 41 and the second housing 42 can also be connected to the beam 11 of the head beam 10. The connection method is not limited. For example, the head beam 10 may have mounting holes that align with the connecting hole 313, and the connecting screws 50 may be inserted through these mounting holes to achieve the connection. Alternatively, at least one of the first housing 41 and the second housing may have a snap-fit ​​mechanism that engages with the beam 11 to achieve a fixed connection.

[0060] Optionally, the first hole 411 is a blind hole, and the second hole 423 is a through hole. The connecting screw 50 first passes through the second hole 423 and then connects to the first hole 411, so that the connecting screw 50 and the hole are not visible from the outside, which enhances the aesthetics. There are four holes in total: the first hole 411, the connecting hole 313, the second hole 423, and the mounting hole, with two on each side. Optionally, both the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 are also provided with corresponding fixing holes, which are threadedly connected to the fixing holes by screws, thereby further connecting the first housing 41 and the second housing 42.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second housing 42 includes an upper portion 421, a lower portion 422, and a lower portion 422. The upper portion 421 and the lower portion 422 are engaged to form the second housing 42. Specifically, the upper portion 421 is provided with a locking block, and the lower portion 422 is provided with a locking groove, which engages with the locking block. Moving the upper portion 421 in a direction closer to the inside can separate the upper portion 421 from the lower portion 422. A second hole 423 is located in the upper portion 421, and a fixing hole is located in the lower portion 422.

[0062] The process of disassembling the protective cover assembly 30 can be as follows: First, loosen the connecting screws 50 using a screwdriver, thereby removing the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 at both ends. Then, open the opening 311 by pulling the zipper 32, thereby allowing the protective cover assembly 30 to be removed from the headband 10.

[0063] The process of installing the protective cover assembly 30 can be as follows: the protective cover assembly 30 is placed on the headband 10, then the zipper 32 is pulled to close the opening 311, then the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 are installed, and the connecting screws 50 are fixed to the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 using a screwdriver.

[0064] During the replacement of the protective sleeve assembly 30, the beam liner 12 is finally connected to the beam body 11, so there is no need to worry about damage during the replacement process. Moreover, the replacement, disassembly, and assembly are simple and convenient, and users do not need to worry about not being able to put it back.

[0065] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide a headband device in which the protective cover and the headband 10 are detachably connected by a zipper 32 and a connecting shell 40 provided on the cover 31, and the installation and disassembly process is simple and convenient.
