Abstract: Various implementations include headphone systems. In one implementation, a headband for a headphone system, includes: a continuous spring section sized to extend over a head of a user; an earcup mount coupled with an end of the continuous spring section, where the earcup mount allows for both translation and rotation of an earcup relative to the continuous spring section without altering a length of the continuous spring section; and a friction assembly spanning between the continuous spring section and the earcup mount.

Abstract: Various aspects include audio eyeglasses with through-hinge wiring configurations. In particular aspects, audio eyeglasses include: a frame for resting on a head of a user, the frame comprising: a lens region; a pair of arms extending from the lens region; and a hinge coupling the lens region and one of the pair of arms, the hinge comprising: a body; a friction element coupled to the body for damping the movement of the arm relative to the lens region; and a cavity within the body, the cavity sized to accommodate a cable extending therethrough, the hinge permitting movement of the arm relative to the lens region; and an electro-acoustic transducer at least partially housed in the frame and comprising a sound-radiating surface for providing an audio output.

Abstract: Various implementations include headphone systems. In one implementation, a headband for a headphone system, includes: a continuous spring section sized to extend over a head of a user; an earcup mount coupled with an end of the continuous spring section, the continuous spring section and the earcup mount forming an arcuate joint, and the earcup mount configured to rotate relative to the continuous spring section at the arcuate joint; and a friction assembly spanning between the continuous spring section and the earcup mount, the friction assembly linearly arranged across the arcuate joint and configured to provide a substantially constant resistance to the rotation of the earcup mount relative to the continuous spring section, where the friction assembly includes a coupler having a primary axis extending across the arcuate joint, where the earcup mount rotates off-axis relative to the primary axis of the coupler.
