Abstract: A headphone ear pad couples the headphone cup, that holds the transducer, with the listener's ear. Ear pad patents typically focus on materials usage, comfort, or sound isolation. This patent focuses on the ear pad as sound delivery mechanism with the ability to alter the manner in which sound is perceived by the listener or other receptor. This is accomplished through the conical shape of the pad, multi-walled structure, incorporation of sound wave disrupters, and pressure ventilators.
