Abstract:
A small-sized audio signal reproducing apparatus for hearing reproduced audio signals with the aid of a headphone is disclosed. Digitized and compression encoded audio signals, stored in a semiconductor memory, are read out so as to undergo a decoding operation, which is an inverse operation to compression encoding, to reproduce the audio signals, and the reproduced signals are heard by the headphone. The apparatus may be significantly reduced in size and weight as compared to the apparatus in which a tape or a disk is used as the recording medium.

Abstract:
An audio output device (200) adapted for matching with a MP 3 player (100), comprises a cap (20) and an earphone assembly (30) connecting with the cap (20). The cap (20) has a body (21) and a connector (22) received in the body (21). The connector (22) includes a housing (222), a number of terminals (223, 224) receiving in the housing (222) and a shielding member (221) enclosing the housing (222). The connector (22) is capable of matching with a plug according with the standard of USB (Universal Serial Bus), the terminals (223, 224) include three audio terminals transmitting audio signal. The earphone assembly (30) includes two strings (32) connecting with the three audio terminals and a pair of headphones (33) setting on the other end of the strings (32).
Abstract:
An audio system is provided that comprises a headphone for reading music information or the like recorded in a memory card attached to an external interface to reproduce audio signal and for outputting sound conforming to the audio signal; and a remote control unit for transmitting control signal for controlling reproduction function or the like of the music information of the headphone to the headphone due to infrared rays. In the audio system, the control signal of infrared rays of less data amount compared with the audio signal or the like is transmitted. Accordingly, circuit configuration and component configuration can be made simpler, the remote control unit can be downsized, and the headphone and the remote control unit can be made wireless, resulting in an easier handling.
Abstract:
Methods and systems enable a user to inject sound clips from an audio device into a telephone conversation. The invention includes an adapter that connects to an audio player, a user listening device, and a communication device such as a telephone. In different embodiments, these connections may be wired, wireless or a combination of both. The audio player is selectable and of the type wherein stored audio clips can be changed, for example an MP3 player, CD or DVD player, video player, computer or the like. In operation, the user selects an audio clip from the audio device for substantially immediate and simultaneous playback through the user listening device and the telephone. In this manner, both the user and any other party to the telephone conversation can hear the audio clip substantially simultaneously.

Abstract:
An improved structure of a pair of glasses is disclosed. The pair of glasses is coupled with an audio-visual recording/showing device, and a pair of earpieces is coupled with a pair of earphones directly or through a direction changing connector. Accordingly, the audio-visual recording/showing device and the earphones are carried synchronously to enjoy the music stored therein when the glasses are worn, and the audio-visual recording/showing device is mounted in a position closest to the ear to avoid the problem of winding earphone wires. Moreover, by use of the earpieces or the direction changing connector, the glasses can be rotated upwardly in 90 degrees to form a beautiful hair hoop on the user's head.

Abstract:
An ear radio adapted for support by the ears of a user comprises first and second ear components, each including a casement having inner and outer surfaces and adapted in size and configuration to fit over an ear of the user. Radio circuitry is provided for receiving radio signals and converting the radio signals to sound and is mounted within a first casement. Radio function controls are mounted on the exterior surface of the first casement. A speaker is mounted on the inner surface of the first casement and is operatively connected to the radio circuitry mounted on its inner surface. The speaker is adapted to extend within the ear canal of the ear. A first retention member is provided for retaining the first component at one ear, and is configured to conform to the juncture between the ear and the head of the user. A second radio component includes a similar second casement having inner and outer surfaces and adapted in size and configuration to fit over the user's second ear. A power supply means is mounted within the second casement, and a radio speaker is mounted on the inner surface of the second casement and adapted to extend within the ear canal of the second ear. A second retention member is provided for retaining the second component at the second ear and is configured to conform to the juncture between the second ear and the head of the user. Circuitry is provided for electrically connecting the power supply and the speaker in the second component with the radio circuitry in the first component.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an acoustic output apparatus. The acoustic output apparatus may include an acoustic output component and a supporting structure forming an acoustically open structure that allows the acoustic output component to acoustically communicate with the surroundings. The acoustic output component may include a plurality of acoustic drivers, each of which may be configured to output a sound with a frequency range. At least one of the acoustic drivers may include a magnetic system for generating a first magnetic field. The magnetic system may include a first magnetic component for generating a second magnetic field and at least one second magnetic component. A magnetic gap may be formed between the first magnetic component and the at least one second magnetic component. A magnetic field intensity of the first magnetic field in the magnetic gap may be greater than that of the second magnetic field in the magnetic gap.
