Abstract: A flexible arm that is configured to be located between and physically and electrically connect an acoustic module of an open-ear headphone to a battery housing of the open-ear headphone. The flexible arm defines an original resting length and position between the acoustic module and the battery housing. The flexible arm includes a flexible printed circuit that extends through the entire original resting length of the flexible arm and comprises a conductor that is configured to carry electrical energy between the acoustic module and the battery housing. A first interface structure is coupled to one of the acoustic module and the battery housing. A flexible material encases at least some of the flexible printed circuit and at least some of the first interface structure.

Abstract: A relaxation mask includes: a main body that defines a pair of eye cavities; and a light diffuser. The light diffuser includes a first lens that is disposed within a first one of the eye cavities. A first ledge is disposed along a top edge of the first lens and extends outwardly therefrom. A first light emitting component is supported on the first ledge and is configured to fire downward into the first lens.

Abstract: Various implementations include an open-ear headphone, including: an acoustic module including a distal sound-delivery end; a battery housing; and a flexible arm physically and electrically connecting the acoustic module to the battery housing, wherein the flexible arm defines an original resting length and position between the acoustic module and the battery housing, wherein the flexible arm is configured to retain the open-ear headphone on an ear of a user such that the distal sound-delivery end is located in the concha of the ear and the battery housing is located behind the ear, and wherein the flexible arm is configured to be flexed at least along a length thereof such that a space between the acoustic module and the battery housing can be adjusted.

The flexible arm defines an original resting length and position between the acoustic module and the battery housing. The flexible arm includes a flexible printed circuit that extends through the entire original resting length of the flexible arm and comprises a conductor that is configured to carry electrical energy between the acoustic module and the battery housing, and a flexible material that encases at least some of the flexible printed circuit. The length of the flexible printed circuit within the flexible arm is greater than the original resting length of the flexible arm. The flexible printed circuit can thus better accommodate tension or compression on the flexible arm as the flexible arm is bent from its original resting position.

Abstract: An eartip includes a first portion that defines a cavity for receiving an earbud and an aperture. The eartip also includes a second portion that overlies the aperture and is formed of an electrically conductive material. An electrically conductive plug has a first end disposed within the aperture and a second end is coupled to the second portion to provide an electrically conductive path between the second portion and the cavity.
