Abstract: An omni-directional acoustic deflector includes an acoustically reflective body having a substantially conical outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. The inner surface defines a region that is configured to be coupled to a first electronic component such that heat is transferred from the first electronic component to the outer surface of the acoustically reflective body.

Abstract: Aspects describe air flow relief features in the cosmetic surface of the housing of an in-ear audio output device. Due to design constraints based, at least in part, on the limited space available in the acoustic chamber and ear geometry, ports coupling the acoustic chamber with an area outside the housing are susceptible to full blockage when placed in-ear. Air flow relief channels for ports, extending from the port aligned in the concha cymba, over the helix crus, to the cymba cavum minimize complete blockages of the port as compared to current designs.

Abstract: Aspects describe an in-ear audio output device for ESD mitigation. The device includes an earbud housing, a nozzle having one or more apertures to conduct sound waves to the ear canal of the wearer, a flexible printed circuit board positioned within the earbud housing and the nozzle, the flexible printed circuit board comprising: a first portion, a second portion comprising a first edge of the flexible printed circuit board proximate the one or more apertures, and a metal layer on a top surface of the second portion, a microphone attached to a bottom surface of the flexible printed circuit board, and a metal casing attached to the bottom surface of the flexible printed circuit board and surrounding the microphone, the metal casing comprising a second edge proximate the one or more apertures, wherein the second edge is a greater distance from the one or more apertures than the first edge.

Abstract: Aspects describe a raised feature to help a user remove an in-ear audio output device from a case. Aspects describe a device comprising an earbud housing shaped to fit in a concha of an ear of a wearer of the device, and a body coupled to the earbud housing, the body extending away from an ear canal of the wearer and oriented outside of the ear when the device is worn, the body comprising a top cap comprising a flat external portion and a raised feature proximate to a concha cymba of the wearer and external to the ear when the device is worn.
