I wonder why VR headsets have not been designed from modified headphones instead of ski goggles.

Those can be trendy and nice looking, and people are still wearing them outside, even the bulkier models.

Headphones do not handle off axis weight well. The headband would just fall off, unless they have so much clamp force they make your jaw hurt instead
Weight could be better balanced, I think. Batteries and computing could be at least partially located in the earcups.
