Abstract
A method and system is disclosed for a headset with force isolation, where the headset comprises a headband having two upper headband sections coupled by a center block and two ear cups, where each ear cup is coupled to one of the two upper headband sections. The two upper headband sections may include side support strips between which a movable strip may be placed, thereby increasing the rigidness of the headband when fully extended between the side support strips. The rigidness of the headband may decrease when the movable strips are retracted from between the side support strips and into the center block utilizing a slider knob. The side support strips may be plastic and the movable strip may be metal. The center block may be more rigid than the side support strips. The center block may be plastic. The headband may include headband endcaps at lower ends of the headband.
