  • Patent number: 10728668
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for headset neckbands and earloops are described. In one example, a neckband for use with a headset is described. The neckband includes a first neckband end for coupling with a left earloop and a second neckband end for coupling with a right earloop. The neckband includes a neckband length along an x-axis between the first neckband end and the second neckband end. The neckband length has a variable height in a y-axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20200204901
    Abstract: Bone conduction headphones include a transducer and a neck band. The transducer is configured to convert an electrically provided audio signal into mechanical vibrations. The neck band includes a curved base section and two leg sections extending from the curved base section, providing a substantially U-shaped space to accommodate a listener's head between the two leg sections. The transducer is disposed on the neck band at a distal end of one of the leg sections, and the neck band applies a clamping force on the listener's head. The clamping force establishes a mechanical interface for transmission of the mechanical vibrations from the transducer to a cranial bone of the listener's head. The bone conduction headphones also include a clamping force adjuster enabling an adjustment of the clamping force of the neck band.

  • Patent number: 10687138
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for earloops are described. In one example, an earloop for wearing on an ear of a user head is described. The earloop includes a capsule connector segment for coupling to a headset capsule, and an apex segment having an adaptive apex curvature arranged to rest on an apex of the ear. The earloop further includes a behind-the-ear segment having an adaptive behind-the-ear curvature arranged to curve behind the ear and exert a resilient gripping tension behind the ear, wherein the capsule connector segment is located along the x-axis at a different location than the behind-the-ear segment in both a static non-worn state and a static worn state, and wherein the apex segment is between the capsule connector segment and the behind-the-ear segment.
