Apple updates their Magnetically Attachable Headphone Cups Accessory Invention for their Mixed Reality Headset
In late December 2019 Patently Apple posted a patent application report titled "Apple Invents a Secondary Audio System for its Future Mixed Reality Headset that Includes Detachable Speakers." While Apple's HMD may come with some form of built-in speaker system, it appears that Apple may offer users an accessory that could provide an advanced audio system in the form of over-the-ear cups, that don't have a headband. Instead, Apple has invented a magnetic system that securely holds the ear cups to the sides of the HMD device while allowing the cups to pivot so as to adjust to a user's comfort level.
