Abstract: Portable ear-worn acoustic devices having a wingtip anchor for improved anchoring for active users and to accommodate a wide range of ear sizes and shapes are provided herein. Such acoustic devices an include an earbud device body and a wingtip anchor that extends from an outer face of the device body. The wingtip anchor can include a base portion and a protruding portion that extends upwards and is angled or curved inwardly so as to engage the upper concha of the ear. The wingtip anchor can be flexible so that engagement of a distal portion of the anchor exerts an inwardly directed spring force on the device body to maintain the earbud device body within the ear. Such acoustic devices can further include a multi-function button that is integrated with the wingtip anchor such that the base portion of the wingtip anchor is a faceplate for the multi-function button.

Abstract: An acoustic enclosure includes a housing at least partially defining an acoustic chamber for an acoustic radiator. The housing further defines an acoustic opening from the acoustic chamber to a surrounding environment. The acoustic enclosure also has a first acoustic resonator and a second acoustic resonator. The first acoustic resonator and the second acoustic resonator are acoustically coupled with the acoustic chamber in parallel relative to each other. Each of the first acoustic resonator and the second acoustic resonator modifies a frequency response of the acoustic chamber. Loudspeakers can include such an enclosure acoustically excited or driven by an electro-acoustic transducer. As well, an electronic device can include such a loudspeaker.

Abstract: An earpiece is described that includes a driver housing that encloses an audio driver. The driver housing is oriented so that a first end of the driver housing can be supported by a concha bowl of a user's ear and a second end opposite the first end can tilt outside of the user's ear so that the ear need not accommodate an entirety of the driver housing. The driver housing is held in place by an ear clip that engages an exterior portion of the user's ear and attaches to the driver housing by way of a bridge element that can enclose other electronic components such as a battery, antenna, processor and the like.
