Abstract: Headphones include a cushion assembly and a slider telescopically coupled to the cushion assembly. The slider includes a proximal end that is disposed within the cushion assembly and a distal end extending outward from the cushion assembly. A pivot mount is disposed within an opening at the distal end of the slider. A pivot is supported in the pivot mount. The headphones also include an earphone and a yoke that couples the earphone to the slider. The pivot mount is secured to the slider via a fastener, and wherein the yoke is pivotable to a position in which it covers the fastener when the headphones are in use.

Abstract: An open audio device includes a housing and an acoustic radiator in the housing and that emits front-side acoustic radiation from its front side and emits rear-side acoustic radiation from its rear side. A front acoustic cavity in the housing receives front-side acoustic radiation, wherein the housing defines a front sound-emitting opening. A rear acoustic cavity in the housing that receives rear-side acoustic radiation, wherein the housing defines a rear sound-emitting opening. A support structure is configured to carry the housing on a user's head such that the housing is held proximate an ear of the user with one of the front or rear sound-emitting openings anterior of and proximate the tragus of the ear. The housing comprises an inner end that is configured to be closest to the user's head. The one of the front or rear sound-emitting openings that is anterior of and proximate the tragus of the ear lies at an angle to the inner end of the housing.

Abstract: An audio device with a body configured to be worn on or abutting an outer ear of a user. The body comprises an upper curved portion that is configured to be located proximate the upper portion of the outer ear helix and is relatively more compliant about a vertical axis and is less compliant about a horizontal axis. An acoustic module is coupled to the upper curved portion of the body. The acoustic module is configured to locate a sound-emitting opening anteriorly of and proximate the user's ear canal opening when the body is worn on or abutting the outer ear of the user.

Abstract: A loudspeaker includes a first electro-acoustic driver that creates sound waves when operated, and a housing. A first baffle is coupled to the housing and the first electro-acoustic driver. A first speaker grille covers the first electro-acoustic driver. A first gasket is disposed between the first baffle and the first speaker grille. The first gasket comprises a first set of energy directors to reduce buzzing between the first gasket and the first baffle.

Abstract: Headphones include a headband and a yoke that is pivotably coupled to the headband. The yoke includes first and second yoke arms that each extend from a pivot point to respective distal ends. An earphone is pivotably coupled to the yoke. The earphone includes an earcup that defines first and second recesses for receiving the distal ends of the yoke arms. The earcup and the yoke are configured such that the distal ends of the yoke arms can be slid into the recesses in the earcup for assembly without elastic deformation of the yoke arms or the earcup.
