Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn by the user. The head-mounted housing may be coupled to the user's head using a headband. The headband may include a first headband portion and a second headband portion that extends from the first headband portion at a fixed angle. Stiffeners may be included in the first and second headband portions. The stiffeners may be formed from braided cords and may be embedded in the first and second headband portions to allow the headband to conform to a user's head when worn. Other stiffeners may be mounted to a surface of the headband to maintain an angle between the first and second headband portions. The ends of the headband may have curved corners, and may appear seamless to the naked eye.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn. The head-mounted housing may be coupled to the user's head using a headband. The headband may include an upper headband portion and a lower headband portion that extends from the first headband portion. The upper and lower headband portions may extend from the head-mounted housing at fixed angles and may be offset from a support post of the head-mounted housing. Stiffeners may be included in the upper and lower headband portions. The stiffeners may include graded stiffeners and/or braided cords that help the upper and/or lower headband portions conform to a user's head. The headband may also include a temple housing coupled to the upper and lower headband portions that has an opening to attach the headband to the support post and/or may include keeper loops.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted support structure that is configured to be worn on a head of a user. The head-mounted support structure may include a flexible rear portion that at least partially defines a central opening through which the displays in the head-mounted device are viewable. The flexible rear portion may conform to a face of the user when the head-mounted device is worn by the user. A removable cushion may be selectively attached to the flexible rear portion of the head-mounted support structure. The removable cushion may conform to and directly contact the face of the user when the head-mounted device is worn by the user. The removability of the cushion may allow for the cushion to be easily cleaned, easily replaced when worn, and customized to a user's aesthetic and comfort preferences.
