Abstract: The presently disclosed technology adopts magnets to provide an over-centre effect to a turn-lock fastener. This can provide smoother fastening/unfastening action and a simplified design to achieve a similar over-centre effect to traditional turn-lock fasteners. Further, a turn-lock connector may be made by incorporating aspects of a turn-lock fastener into matching second and first connector parts that may be selectively latched and unlatched from one another. By creating a magnetic biasing feature within a turn-lock connector, a unique and technically advantageous magnetically latching connector is created.

Abstract: A headphone device having a listening configuration and a storage configuration. In the listening configuration, the headphone device is configured to provide an ergonomic fit for a user when the headphone device is worn on the user's head with earcups oriented over the user's ears. In the storage configuration, the headphone device is configured to provide an ergonomic fit for the user when the headphone device is worn around the user's neck.
