Earphone with Interchangeable Housing

摘要

A customizable headphone includes an earphone having a body portion and a nozzle portion extending from the body portion. A decorative housing including an opening is designed to accommodate the body portion. The decorative housing also includes a releasable connection for affixing the decorative housing to the body portion, wherein the decorative housing encloses the body portion with the nozzle portion exposed. Upon releasing the releasable connection, a user may separate the decorative housing from the body portion and install a different decorative housing on the body portion as desired. The releasable connection can be a lip on the opening that corresponds to a channel on the body portion, and stabilizers either on the body portion or the decorative housing prevent the decorative housing from moving relative to the body portion.
