    Abstract: An earphone comprising an earphone housing having a body portion acoustically coupled to a tube portion extending from the body portion, the body portion having an acoustic output opening to output sound from a driver positioned therein into an ear canal of a wearer. An acoustic tuning member is positioned within the body portion for acoustically coupling the driver to the tube portion. The acoustic tuning member defines a back volume chamber of the driver and includes an acoustic output port for outputting sound from the back volume chamber of the driver to the tube portion to improve an acoustic performance of the earphone.

    Abstract: An earphone comprising an earphone housing having a housing wall that encloses a driver, the driver having a front face that outputs sound waves and a back face opposite the front face, the housing wall defines a first chamber acoustically coupled to the front face of the driver and a second chamber acoustically coupled to the back face of the driver. A primary output opening is formed through a portion of the housing wall forming the first chamber and that is at an angle with respect to the front face of the driver, the primary output opening is dimensioned to output the sound waves into an ear of a user. A tuning output port and a bass port are formed through portions of the housing wall acoustically coupled to the second chamber. The tuning output port and the bass port face different directions and acoustically couple the second chamber to a surrounding environment.

    Abstract: An audio system is described that includes one or more speaker arrays that emit sound corresponding to one or more pieces of sound program content into associated zones within a listening area. Using parameters of the audio system (e.g., locations of the speaker arrays and the audio sources), the zones, the users, the pieces of sound program content, and the listening area, one or more beam pattern attributes may be generated. The beam pattern attributes define a set of beams that are used to generate audio beams for channels of sound program content to be played in each zone. The beam pattern attributes may be updated as changes are detected within the listening environment. By adapting to these changing conditions, the audio system is capable of reproducing sound that accurately represents each piece of sound program content in various zones.

    Abstract: An earphone having an earphone housing including a tip portion dimensioned to be inserted into an ear canal of a wearer, a body portion extending outward from the tip portion, and a tube portion extending from the body portion. The body portion has a face portion that faces a pinna region of the ear when the tip portion is inserted into the ear canal. A primary output opening, that outputs sound from a driver in the housing to the ear canal, is formed in the tip portion. A secondary output opening, that outputs air from the ear canal to the surrounding environment, is formed in the face portion. The primary output opening and the secondary output opening are horizontally aligned when the tube portion is positioned vertically downward and an angle formed between the primary output opening, the tube portion and the secondary output opening is less than 90 degrees.

    Abstract: Ein Ohrhörer, umfassend ein Ohrhörergehäuse mit einem Spitzenabschnitt, der bemessen ist, um in einen Gehörgang eines Trägers eingeführt zu werden, einen Gehäuseabschnitt, der sich von dem Spitzenabschnitt nach außen erstreckt, und einen Rohrabschnitt, der sich von dem Gehäuseabschnitt aus erstreckt. Der Gehäuseabschnitt weist einen Flächenabschnitt auf, der einem Pinnabereich des Ohres zugewandt ist, wenn der Spitzenabschnitt in den Gehörgang eingeführt ist. Eine erste Ausgabeöffnung, die Schall in den Gehörgang ausgibt, der von einem Treiber in dem Gehäuse erzeugt wird, ist in dem Spitzenabschnitt ausgebildet. Eine zweite Ausgabeöffnung, die Luft aus dem Gehörgang in die umgebende Umgebung ausgibt, ist in dem Flächenabschnitt ausgebildet. Die erste Ausgabeöffnung und die zweite Ausgabeöffnung sind horizontal miteinander ausgerichtet, wenn der Rohrabschnitt vertikal nach unten positioniert ist, und ein Winkel, gebildet zwischen der ersten Ausgabeöffnung, dem Rohrabschnitt und der zweiten Ausgabeöffnung ist kleiner als 90 Grad.
