Headset {Headset}

The present invention relates to a headset, and more particularly to a headset in which a loudspeaker provided in an earplug part is provided so as to open and close a through hole formed in an earplug part.

It is easy to concentrate on listening to music (output sound) while it is possible to prevent the possibility of damage of others due to noise when the headphone is worn on the ear. On the other hand, when the headphone is interrupted from the ear hole (ear hole) I can not help but understand the noise of life.

For this reason, traffic accidents caused by unrecognized noise due to traffic conditions such as the sound of a horn of a relative vehicle are frequently encountered, as well as a problem of inability to communicate with a companion or a vehicle occupant, There is no other choice.

In addition, in order to listen to a conversation with another person and listen to ambient sounds around the situation, it has been troublesome to consciously repeat actions such as turning off music played from a mobile device or dropping a headphone from an ear.

In order to solve such a problem, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2014-0055716 discloses a headset capable of expanding or collapsing a reflector for reflecting sound output through a speaker built in the main body, thereby allowing external sounds to be heard .

However, in such a conventional headset, even if the reflector is folded, when the speaker is built in the main body and the speaker is not turned off, a part of the sound and vibration outputted through the speaker are mixed with the external sound, so that the external sound can not be clearly heard.
