Abstract: Headphones include left and right earpieces mounted to rotatable arms and connected by a resilient U shaped band. The left and right earpieces can be positioned by folded the earpieces inwards toward the headband or extending the earpieces away from the headband. A sensor can detect the position of the left and right earpieces and transition the headphones between three operating modes, including a playback mode, a standby mode, and an off mode.

Abstract: An earphone comprising an ear hook having a body the bulk of which is made from a flexible material molded over a formable member and a plurality of wires. The ear hook includes a first end and a second end and a curved portion in between. The earphone further includes an earbud coupled to the first end of the ear hook and coupled to the plurality of wires. The plurality of wires extends within the ear hook along its length from the first end to the second end exiting the ear hook at the second end. The formable member extends within the ear hook from the first end along a portion of the ear hook length towards the second end and enables the ear hook to be bent along a portion of its length while retaining its bent shape.
