Abstract

A wearable device assembly includes a wireless earphone and smart glasses. The wireless earphone includes an earphone body and a speaker part. The earphone body is rotatably connected to the speaker part. The earphone body is rotatably switched between a first position and a second position relative to the speaker part, and provided with a first electrical connection part. The smart glasses include glasses legs and a battery module. One of the glasses legs is provided with a second electrical connection part, the second electrical connection part is electrically connected to the battery module. When the earphone body is located at the first position, the earphone body is separated from a glasses leg. When the earphone body is located at the second position, the earphone body is connected to the glasses leg, and the first electrical connection part is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part.
