Abstract: Aspects describe a dual-planar retaining piece for stabilizing and securing earpiece in a wearer's ear. The retaining piece is either fixed or removable from the earpiece. The retaining piece includes a first cantilevered portion shaped to flexibly fit under the antitragus of a wearer's ear when the earpiece is worn, a second cantilevered portion shaped to flexibly fit under the antihelix of the wearer's ear when the earpiece is worn, and at least one attachment feature that couples the retaining piece to a body of the earpiece, wherein the body is shaped to fit in the lower concha of the wearer's ear when the earpiece is worn. In aspects, the first and second cantilevered portions are integrally formed.

Abstract: Aspects describe an earpiece with structure for positioning and retaining the earpiece and with structure for sealing against the entrance to the ear canal. According to aspects, the retaining structure has at least one substantially elliptical leg configured to follow the curve of the anti-helix and/or the cymba concha at the rear of the concha. The leg increases in thickness from a tip of the earpiece towards the body of the earpiece. The sealing structure is substantially frusto-conical and extends from a nozzle. The nozzle is angled to align with ear geometry. In an example, he sealing structure has a slight radius on an outer surface of the sealing structure. In another example, the sealing structure has a substantially constant thickness from the nozzle to the wide end of the sealing structure.

Abstract: An earpiece includes an electro-acoustic transducer and a housing that supports the electro-acoustic transducer such that the housing and the electro-acoustic transducer together define a first acoustic volume and a second acoustic volume. The electro-acoustic transducer is arranged such that a first radiating surface of the transducer radiates acoustic energy into the first acoustic volume and a second radiating surface of the transducer radiates acoustic energy into the second acoustic volume. A mesh is disposed along an outlet of the housing and is arranged to inhibit debris from entering the front acoustic volume. A first microphone is supported in the housing. The first microphone includes a microphone port for sensing pressure. A chimney surrounds the microphone port and mechanically couples the first microphone to the mesh.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for determining a nozzle of an audio device is, at least partially blocked. More specifically, based on a measured transfer function between the driver and a microphone and an expected transfer function between the driver and the microphone, a blockage is detected. In response to the detected blockage, the user is notified.

Abstract: Various aspects include wearable out-loud audio devices in various form factors. Additional implementations include methods of forming wearable out-loud audio devices. Further implementations include storage media with code representative of a suspension system for a wearable out-loud audio device. Particular aspects include a wearable out-loud audio device having: a frame; a transducer mounted to the frame; a microphone mounted to the frame and separated from the transducer by a distance; and a suspension system for the transducer to vibrationally isolate the transducer from the microphone.

Abstract: A retaining piece for an earpiece of an in-ear audio output device comprises a retainer portion and a cantilevered portion. The cantilevered portion comprises a coupling edge and a free edge which is substantially opposite the coupling edge. The cantilevered portion is coupled to the retainer portion at the coupling edge and is configured to engage with at least a part of an outer wall of a concha of a user's pinna. The cantilevered portion comprises a convexly curved section between the coupling edge and the free edge. When the cantilevered portion is in an engaged state, the coupling edge is more medial than the free edge.
