Abstract: A modular audio system which includes an acoustic module configured to be removably engaged with a head-worn peripheral device. In some examples, the head-worn peripheral device is a pair of eyeglass frames and the acoustic module is configured to removably secure to a socket arranged on the inside face of the temples of the eyeglasses. The acoustic module can slidingly, pivotably, and/or magnetically engage with the socket such that, when secured, the acoustic module is configured to generate acoustic energy in the form of audible sound proximate a user's ear while the user is wearing the head-worn peripheral device. In other examples, the temples of the head-worn peripheral device are configured to slidingly engage with a sleeve, where the sleeve includes a pocket configured to slidingly engage with the acoustic module.

Abstract: A headband assembly that is constructed and arranged to be worn on or over a head of a user, having a curved compliant spring member, a cushion member that is configured to be in contact with or proximate the head of the user when the headband assembly is worn by the user, a spine that is coupled to both the cushion member and the spring member, and a cap that at least partially overlies the spring member and the spine.

Abstract: A portable loudspeaker includes: an enclosure having a first enclosure portion and a second enclosure portion, which together define an acoustic cavity. The loudspeaker further includes an electro-acoustic transducer disposed within the acoustic cavity, where a first side of the electro-acoustic transducer is secured to the first enclosure portion with fasteners and a second, opposite side of the electro-acoustic transducer is secured to the second enclosure portion with an adhesive. The loudspeaker also includes a strap having a first end that is fixedly coupled to the enclosure and a second end that is releasably coupled to the enclosure, where the second end of the strap is also configured to be coupled to another portion of the strap to form a closed loop.

Abstract: A portable loudspeaker with an enclosure that defines an acoustic cavity in an interior of the enclosure, at least one passive radiator exposed to the acoustic cavity, and an electro-acoustic transducer arranged to radiate sound pressure into the acoustic cavity to acoustically energize the at least one passive radiator. A user-operable switch is located in the interior of the enclosure, and a compliant button that forms part of the enclosure and overlies and is spaced from the switch. A sound-deadening member is positioned in the space between the button and the switch. The sound-deadening member is arranged to inhibit sound pressure in the acoustic cavity from reaching the button.
