  • Patent number: 8041067
    Abstract: An earphone structure including one or more composite chambers is described. Each of the composite chambers includes sub-speakers. The sounds generated by these sub-speakers are uniformly distributed in the composite chamber and a composite sound field is generated by these sub-speakers. The sound field generated by each of these sub-speakers can be adjusted by re-locating the position of the sub-speaker, for example, by re-locating the sub-speaker, or by re-locating the sub-speaker in different angles, to generate the composite sound field. The sound field generated by the main speaker and the composite sound field generated by these sub-speakers can form a spatial sound with very good quality. By using of its physical characteristics of locations of these sub-speakers, the sound generated by the earphone has an uniformly diffusion sound pressure and a surround effect, which allows a user of the earphone to enjoy a sound field similar to that in a theater.

  • Patent number: 7817814
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple channel earphone of small volume. In the earphone structure, a chamber tube with an adjusting hole or a set of adjusting holes is provided. The sound pressure of the chamber tube is naturally released without affected the performance of the main chamber sound field. When the external speaker connected to the chamber tube generates a large sound pressure, the sound pressure released naturally by the adjusting hole or a set of adjusting holes is increased accordingly, so that the sound pressure produced by the external speaker connected to the chamber tube is controlled by the main chamber.

  • Patent number: 7697710
    Abstract: An earphone with a sound guiding tube is provided. The sound guiding tube has an external chamber beside the ear. Compared with a conventional earphone which transmits sound directly into the ear, the earphone of the present invention has a external chamber which forms sound field outside the ear and then transmits the sound into the ear through a sound guiding tube in a particular angle. The earphone of the invention is suitable for stereo sound source or multiple-channel sound sources and will reduce damage caused by wearing the earphone for a long time.

  • Publication number: 20100054508
    Abstract: A digital wireless earphone device with stereo or multiple-channel sound effect automatic detection and switching functions is provided. The multiple-channel digital wireless earphone device uses a signal processing and transmitting device to decode multiple-channel signal sources. After the decoding is completed, the multiple-channel signal sources are concurrently transmitted to a wireless earphone end through a radio. After being directly digital-to-analog converted and amplified, the multiple-channel signals are connected to a plurality of speakers to generate a multiple-channel surround sound field. The wireless earphone at a receiving end further has an automatic detection function for detecting a 6CH or 2CH sound source and automatically selects an earphone playing mode accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20090232340
    Abstract: An earphone structure which allows adjusting ventilation of a chamber inside is provided. A plurality of holes is formed on a main body of the earphone structure and ventilation materials are disposed on the ventilation holes as a ventilation medium between the chamber in the main body and an external environment. A sound field generated in the chamber is changed through the change of the materials, which makes the sound field close to the natural tone. The adjustment of the ventilation is mainly based on the fact that sound has different frequency response effects on different materials in the transmission environment, thus achieving the effect of changing the sound field. For example, the adjustment of the ventilation can be achieved by filling different materials in the chamber. Further, partition part of the chamber can also use the frequency response of the sound of materials with different hardness.

  • Publication number: 20090022342
    Abstract: A digital decoder box is introduced for processing multiple-channel digital audio sources. The digital decoder box can detect formats of audio sources and perform different decoding processes, and output the audio sources to an earphone with 5.1 channel speakers. When a 5.1 channel audio source is received, the digital decoder box decodes the audio source and outputs the audio source to the 5.1-channel earphone. Three sets of audio signals are outputs including front stereo signals, rear stereo signals, center channel signal, and sub woofer signal. When a two channel audio source is received, the amplified audio signals from the digital decoder box are output to at least two sets of speakers within the 5.1-channel earphone. By the various speaker combinations within the 5.1-channel earphone, sound effects of separated sound fields may be generated. A two channel stereo audio source may then have different sound effects.
