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, forming an arcuate joint, where the earcup mount is 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, and configured to provide a substantially constant resistance to the rotation of the earcup mount relative to the continuous spring section, the friction assembly including a coupler having: an upper collar in the continuous spring section, the upper collar comprising a radial protrusion; and a lower collar in the earcup mount, the lower collar comprising a rotation stop for interacting with the radial protrusion in the upper collar.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a headphone having a headphone cap and a headphone housing. The headphone cap is mechanically coupled to a printed circuit board (PCB) which has a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector. The headphone housing is configured to be mechanically coupled with the headphone cap, and comprises a battery having a third electrical connector and a fourth electrical connector. The third electrical connector is configured to form a first electrical connection with the first electrical connector as a result of the headphone housing being mechanically coupled with the headphone cap. The fourth electrical connector is configured to form a second electrical connection with the second electrical connector as a result of the headphone housing being mechanically coupled with the headphone cap. In mechanically coupling the headphone housing to the headphone cap, the battery is configured to be horizontally adjacent to the PCB.

Abstract: A flexible waveguide band is provided for that may be worn by a user around their neck, for example. The flexible waveguide band includes a spine, such as a pliable rod; a plurality of vertebrae mounted on the spine, with each vertebra including at least one waveguide channel guide; and an encapsulating potting material. The flexible waveguide band may also be attached to an acoustic pod, including an acoustic driver that may radiate sound waves into said waveguide channels and exit via a sound outlet opening in the flexible band.
