    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a headphone with noise-cancelling capabilities. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to replaceable and serviceable headphone batteries, without extensive dismantling or replacement of the headphone. The headphone may have a volume wheel that is located on the back of the ear-piece. The volume when may be turned clock-wise or counter clock-wise to increase, or decrease the volume, respectively. In contact with the volume wheel, the battery pack may be placed in a pocket or opening within the earpiece. The volume wheel may be a modular, standalone component, so that once removed from the ear-piece, the battery pack may be replaced from the external, rather than requiring removal of several components to reach the battery pack located internally.

    摘要: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a system and method whereby a haptic feedback mechanism may be integrated into a rotatable gear module such that rotating the module may generate pure mechanical haptic feedback. The gear module may be integrated into a wearable device, such as headphones, such that a set of magnets incorporated within may be aligned and misaligned with a plurality of teeth when the gear module rotates. In response to the rotation, each alignment and misalignment of the set of magnets with the plurality of teeth may generate pure haptic feedback. In embodiments, the gear module may be rotated to increment or decrement a unit of measurement associated with the headphones. Each unit of increment or decrement of change may produce haptic feedback based on the alignment and misalignment of the set of magnets.
