Helmet with audio safety ear cup

An article of manufacture, comprising:

• compressible foam material attachable to an inner portion of a headgear that is wearable on a head, the compressible foam material comprising:
• a recess for an on-ear headset, wherein, as the headgear is being positioned on the head, at least a part of the head pushes a headband of the on-ear headset into the recess of the compressible foam material, and wherein the compressible foam material surrounds the on-ear headset to reduce external noise originating in an external environment outside of the on-ear headset;
• a first magnet within an ear cup of the inside portion of the headgear that, as the headgear is being positioned on the head, attaches the on-ear headset to the ear cup, wherein a magnetization exhibited by the first magnet reduces a gap between the compressible foam material and the on-ear headset relative to the magnetization being absent;
• and
• a second magnet that, as a result of at least the part of the head pushing the on-ear headset into the recess of the compressible foam material, changes a polarity from a first polarity to a second polarity, wherein, when the polarity of the second magnet is the second polarity, the second magnet operates to pull the compressible foam material towards an outer casing of the headgear, and wherein, when the polarity of the second magnet is the first polarity, the second magnet operates to push the compressible foam material towards the inner portion of the headgear.

A method, comprising:

• as part of an on-ear headset being inserted into an inside portion of a protective headgear comprising a cushion bendable material, positioning at least one first magnet to attach the on-ear headset to the protective headgear, wherein the at least one first magnet reduces a gap between the cushion bendable material and the on-ear headset, and wherein the on-ear headset being inserted into the inside portion causes an ear cup portion of the cushion bendable material to be urged towards an outer casing of the protective headgear;
• urging, by application of a force via at least one second magnet, the ear cup portion of the cushion bendable material towards the outer casing of the protective headgear, wherein the at least one second magnet is energized by a battery to change polarity;
• and
• adjusting the force of the at least one second magnet by a switch adapted to the outer casing of the protective head gear, wherein the switch adjusts the distance between the at least one first magnet and the at least one second magnet.
