    Abstract: Headphones include a pair of cups, each housing a speaker to be positioned over an ear of a user, a processor, a cooling mechanism disposed within each of the cups to regulate environmental conditions inside of the cups to match environmental thresholds provided by a virtual reality device displaying a virtual reality environment to the user, a temperature sensor and at least one additional environmental sensor disposed within each of the cups to monitor the environmental conditions inside the cups, the processor to subsequently analyze data associated with the sensors and compare the data to the environmental thresholds and the processor to selectively activate the cooling mechanism based on the comparison.

    Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving a temperature reading from a sensor coupled to the head mounted unit. A delta may be calculated based on the temperature reading and a predetermined temperature. A thermo-electric cooling device may be activated based on the delta surpassing a threshold. The thermo-electric cooling device utilizes thermally conductive plates, padding and fabric to transfer thermal energy.

    Abstract: Structures and functions of wired headsets are disclosed. In an example, a wired headset includes a first earcup and a second earcup. A headband and a wire to connect with the first earcup. The first earcup connected to the wire is capable of rotation to facilitate routing of the headset wire from the first earcup to the second earcup along with the headband. The headset also includes latches and holders to hold the wire when it routes from the first earcup to the second earcup.

    Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, a communication apparatus includes a first microphone. The communication apparatus is to be wirelessly and contemporaneously connected to a set of microphones including the first microphone. The communication apparatus is to receive microphone data from each microphone of the set of microphones, wherein the microphone data is indicative of a user spoken phrase captured by the set of microphones. The communication apparatus is to establish based on the received microphone data a selected microphone from among the set of microphones.

    Abstract: Headphones includes a pair of cups, each housing a speaker to be positioned over an ear of a user, a microphone, a processor, an actuator to move a member of at least one of the cups to uncover at least a portion of the ear of the user to expose the user to ambient sound, a user control to active a training mode of the headphones in which the processor operates the microphone to record relevant sounds occurring when the training mode is activated, the processor to subsequently analyze ambient sounds external to the headphones that are received by the microphone and compare those ambient sounds to the recorded relevant sounds and the processor to selectively activate the actuator to uncover at least a portion of the ear of the user to expose the user to ambient sound in response to determining that the ambient sounds match the relevant sounds.
