Abstract:
A headphone device with a controlling function is provided. The headphone device includes a headphone body and a transmitter. The transmitter includes an optical finger navigation module. The optical finger navigation module is installed on the transmitter and exposed to an operating surface of the transmitter. When the optical finger navigation module is operated with the user's finger, an audio generator in communication with the transmitter is correspondingly controlled. Since the optical finger navigation module generates the signal by an optical technology, even if the user wears a glove on a hand, the optical finger navigation module can be normally operated by the user.
Abstract:
This system comprises a digital signal processor able to apply processing operations to an audio signal to be reproduced, a tactile interface (130) displaying indications corresponding to a plurality of processing presets having predetermined processing parameters, and able to receive tactile controls for the continuous displacement of a processing adjustment cursor. The parameters to be applied to the digital signal processor are calculated as a function of the predetermined parameters of said presets and of the position of the adjustment cursor with respect to said different preset indication positions, to hence allow to apply a processing resulting from a combination of the presets in question. Application in particular to the making of multiple equalization settings, intuitively, for a listening headset.
Abstract:
A customizable headphone having a removable and interchangeable housing includes an earphone having a transducer for reproducing sound a sound port, and a body portion. A first housing sized to accommodate the body portion is coupled to and partially encloses the body portion using a resilient releasable connection without obstructing the sound port when affixed to the body portion. Upon biasing the first housing to separate from the body portion, the first housing may be fully removed and replaced with a second housing with a different appearance and characteristics. The releasable connection may include a retaining ring coupled to the body portion in a channel to engage the interior of a housing in a pressure fit.
Abstract:
A system comprising a wireless earphone set and a client computing device, both of which are communicable with a host server via the Internet. The host server stores configuration parameters for the wireless earphone set that are transmittable to the wireless earphone set via the Internet, and that are configurable by an authenticated user of the client computing device via the host server to generate updated configuration parameters for the wireless earphone set. The updated configuration parameters for the wireless earphone set are transmitted by the host server to the wireless earphone set via the Internet.
Abstract:
Electronic devices such as compact portable media players are provided. A housing for an electronic device may be relatively compact. The housing may include a door assembly with an attached spring-loaded clip. The electronic device may include a hold switch. Depending on the state of the hold switch, the electronic device may be in an off mode, a continuous playback mode, or a shuffle playback mode. The electronic device may not have integrated media playback controls such as play, pause, rewind, fast forward, etc. As one example, the electronic device may connect to an accessory that has media playback controls. Buttons and other user interfaces may be included in the accessory and user input information may be conveyed between the accessory and the electronic device using a wired path including audio connectors. The electronic device may include a printed circuit board assembly that is nested together with a battery assembly.
Abstract:
A noise cancelling headphone includes a headphone body, a audio player and a central processing unit. The headphone body includes a headband, a first speaker unit and a second speaker unit. The elongated headband is bent and shaped to fittedly and adjustably wear on a user's head, wherein the headband has a first and a second end portion. The first speaker unit and the second speaker unit are attached on the first and the second end portion of the headband respectively. The audio player is provided on the headphone body, and is arranged to read a predetermined kind of audio signals. The central processing unit is received in the headphone body, and is arranged to process the audio signals outputted from the audio player and drive the first speaker unit and the second speaker unit to generate corresponding audible sound.
Abstract:
An adjustable headset has a support portion that rests on a user's head when the headset is worn in an upright orientation and rests on a user's neck or shoulders when the headset is worn around the user's neck. The adjustable headset also includes a pair of arm assemblies attached to the support portion and having first arm portions and second arm portions. The adjustable headset also includes a pivoting mechanism that pivotably couples the first and second arm portions. The pivoting mechanism allows the pivoting of the second arm portion relative to the first arm portion so that the second arm portion can be pivoted between a first position where the headset can be worn by the user on their head and a second position when the headset is worn around the user's neck to direct sound at the user's ears.
Abstract:
The invention is directed at a headset for a mobile communication device having a multi-button control and is implemented with a standard headset jack. The multi-button control is decoded by a microprocessor after which an encoded signal is then transmitted from the processor to the handset. In this manner, by using the standard jack, no additional hardware is required on the handset.

Abstract:
A standalone, earhook style headset interface and control apparatus that plugs into and engages a micro audio player, particularly, a micro MP3 player, used as an integral part of an ear supported, recorded audio device player or headphone. The earhook headphone system combines player controls, speaker and speaker controls, and headphone jack to plug in a second headphone for stereo listening of programmed audio while securing the MP3 player on, behind or about the ear during vigorous activity. An auxiliary jack also functions as the programming and recharging interface for the audio player device. A selector control switch for single/duplex single ear channel listening is located on the housing. A spring tail earhook of flexible soft silicone material, functions as the gripping and stabilizing element of the earhook headset, securing the unit behind or near the ear. All control functions of the audio player are integrated into the earhook headset.
