Abstract: A charging case for a pair of earbuds with a housing having a cavity configured to receive the pair of earbuds; electrical contacts arranged to interface to the pair of earbuds when the pair of earbuds is received within the cavity; a lid attached to the housing and operable between a closed position where the lid is aligned over the cavity and an open position where the lid is displaced from the cavity; a lid sensor configured to detect when the lid is in the closed position and when the lid is in the open position; circuitry coupled to the lid sensor and configured to turn on a wireless radio contained within the pair of earbuds when the lid sensor detects the lid is moved from the closed position to the open position; a charging system including a case battery and charging circuitry coupled to at least one of the electrical contacts and the case battery and configured to charge the pair of earbuds when the pair of earbuds is positioned within the cavity; and data communications circuitry configured to transmit a signal through at least one of the electrical contacts to the pair of earbuds in response to a user depressing a button at an exterior surface of the charging case, the signal causing the pair of earbuds to enter a Bluetooth pairing sequence with a separate electronic device.

Abstract: An earbud includes a housing that includes a driver assembly positioned within the housing forming a front volume in front of the driver and a back volume behind the driver. An acoustic insert is positioned behind the driver assembly and attached to an interior surface of the housing such that it forms a bass channel that is routed from the back volume to a vent in the housing.

Abstract: A case for a pair of wireless earbuds includes a lid and a lid sensor configured to generate a detect signal when the lid is moved from a closed position to an open position. The case further includes circuitry configured to, in response to receiving the detect signal, send a signal to the wireless earbuds to turn them on and to initiate a pairing sequence between the wireless earbuds and an electronic device.
