    Abstract: Headphone eartips with internal support components and methods for making the same are provided. Different support components may provide specific amounts and types of additional rigidity at specific portions of an exterior surface of an outer eartip body that may be expected to interface with specific portions of an ear canal geometry when an eartip subassembly is positioned within the ear canal, such that the eartip subassembly may conform to the various shapes of the ear canal while maintaining an acoustic seal.

    Abstract: This application relates to earbuds configured with one or more biometric sensors. At least one of the biometric sensors is configured to be pressed up against a portion of the tragus for making biometric measurements. In some embodiments, the housing of the earbud can be symmetric so that the earbud can be worn interchangeably in either a left or a right ear of a user. In such an embodiment, the earbud can include a sensor and circuitry configured to determine and alter operation of the earbud in accordance to which ear the earbud is determined to be positioned within.

    Abstract: An acoustic device such as a microphone or speaker is positioned with and coupled to a housing to connect an acoustic port of the acoustic device with an external opening of the housing. A reservoir is connected to the external opening via a bleed channel. The bleed channel may be less resistive to liquid ingress than the acoustic port. As such, the reservoir and bleed channel may redirect liquid from the external opening away from the acoustic port. In some implementations, the reservoir and/or the bleed channel may be defined by one or more acoustically permeable barriers such as meshes that cover the acoustic port, compressible materials such as foams that form a perimeter around the acoustic port, and/or adhesive layers that couple the acoustic device, the housing, and/or one or more other components.

    Abstract translation: 诸如麦克风或扬声器之类的声学装置被定位并连接到壳体,以将声学装置的声学接口与壳体的外部开口相连接。 储液器通过排放通道连接到外部开口。 泄放通道可能比声学端口对液体进入的阻力更小。 因此,储存器和排出通道可以将液体从外部开口转向远离声学端口。 在一些实施方案中,储存器和/或排放通道可以由一个或多个声透过性屏障限定,例如覆盖声学端口的网孔,可压缩材料,例如围绕声学端口形成周边的泡沫,和/或粘合剂层 耦合声学装置,壳体和/或一个或多个其它部件。
