Abstract: Aspects describe an in-ear audio output device. The in-ear audio output device includes an acoustic chamber defined by an earbud housing shaped to fit in the lower concha of an ear of a wearer of the in-ear audio output device, the earbud housing comprising: a resistive port located on a first side of the earbud housing creating an opening in a wall of the earbud housing and a first feedforward microphone located on a second side of the earbud housing, the second side substantially opposite the first side of the earbud housing; and a stability band. The stability band includes at least one attachment feature that couples the stability band to the earbud housing and a first side substantially opposite the attachment feature that only partially covers the resistive port when the in-ear audio output device is positioned in the ear of the wearer.

Abstract: A wearable audio device is provided. The wearable audio device may include a first array of microphones linearly arranged on the wearable audio device at a positive angle relative to a horizontal axis of the wearable audio device. The microphones of the first array may be configured to capture far-field audio. The wearable audio device may include a second array of microphones linearly arranged on the wearable audio device at a negative angle relative to the horizontal axis. The microphones of the second array may be configured to capture near-field audio. The wearable audio device may include circuitry arranged to (1) generate a user voice audio signal based on the captured near-field audio, (2) generate a desired audio signal based on the captured far-field audio, and (3) generate a differentiated signal based on the desired audio signal and the user voice audio signal.

Abstract: An active noise reduction earbud includes a housing and a first feedforward microphone disposed in the housing. A first sound inlet opening extends through the housing and is configured to conduct external sound to the first feedforward microphone. The first sound inlet opening is configured to sit within a concha cavum of a user's ear and faces toward an auricle of the user's ear when the earbud is worn.

Abstract: A system and method for externalizing sound. The system includes a headphone assembly and a localizer configured to collect information related to a location of the user and of an acoustically reflective surface in the environment. A controller is configured to determine a location of at least one virtual sound source, and generate head related transfer functions that simulate characteristics of sound from the virtual sound source directly to the user and to the user via a reflection by the reflective surface. A signal processing assembly is configured to create one or more output signals by filtering the sound signal respectively with the HRTFs. Each speaker of the headphone assembly is configured to produce sound in accordance with the output signal.

Abstract: A wearable audio device including first and second transducer modules is provided. The first transducer module may include a first transducer. The first transducer module may further include a first enclosure having a top side defining a first slit and a bottom side defining a second slit. The first enclosure may be configured to guide a first sound pressure through the first slit, and a second sound pressure through the second slit. The second transducer module may include a second transducer. The second transducer module may include a second enclosure having a top side defining a third slit and a bottom side defining a fourth slit. The second enclosure may be configured to guide a third sound pressure through the third slit, and a fourth sound pressure through the fourth slit. The third and fourths slit may be arranged diagonally opposite the first and second slits, respectively.
