Abstract
A headset includes an ear hook assembly () and an ear bud assembly (). The ear hook assembly includes a hook portion () that is configured to slip over a user's ear, and a rotatable arm portion () that is configured to rotate around an axis. Rotation of the rotatable arm portion around the axis causes a cam action to actuate a switch to power on and off the headset. The ear bud assembly includes a speaker to play audio, and optionally includes a microphone to receive verbal inputs. The ear bud assembly is coupled to the ear hook assembly so that the ear bud assembly rotates with the rotatable arm portion, and also slides vertically along the axis around which the rotatable arm portion rotates.
