This application relates to a smart headset which integrates headphones 8-12 and a host device 1-7. The host device has most of the features of a smartphone, including 3G or 4G communication means, wi-fi and an LED screen 3. The headphones include left and right earshells 11, 12, a microphone 13 and a touchpad 8 for controlling the headset. The host is provided with two magnetic contacts which mate with magnetic contacts on an earshell, so that the host can be coupled to the earshell, or detached from the earshell. The host and headset are electrically interfaced through metal wafers on the back of the host which mate with metal contacts on the earshell to which the host can be connected. However audio signals from the host to the headset are transmitted using the personal area network protocol Bluetooth (RTM). The smart headset allows music to be downloaded using the 3G or 4G communications means. The headset may also be used for online messaging and social media communications using appropriate apps. |
