Patent number: 9100761Abstract: An earphone assembly for an in-ear listening device and method for filtering a portion of an audible sound output are disclosed. An earphone comprises a housing configured to receive a nozzle, a plurality of drivers each having an acoustical output disposed within the housing, and an elongated passageway disposed within the housing configured to filter at least an audible portion of a sound wave output from at least one of the plurality of drivers. The method comprises providing an elongated passageway to provide an increased path length and connecting an output of the at least one driver to the elongated passageway to configure the sound output to be received within the elongated passageway to acoustically filter a portion of the sound output from the at least one driver.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Scott Charles Grinker, Paris Nicholas Tsangaris, Steven R. Grosz, Kyle Patrick Glavan, Lajos Frohlich, Garbor Zanoni, Mark Bui Breneman

Patent number: 8761424Abstract: An apparatus for blocking materials from entering the sound port of an earphone, while simultaneously allowing sound to pass through unaffected is disclosed. In an earphone having an elongated nozzle with a central opening adapted to transmit sound, a removable or replaceable a sleeve assembly having a wax guard or barrier is formed integral with the ear sleeve assembly. The barrier is mounted in a stem and is adapted to prevent materials from entering the central opening of the earphone nozzle. The stem is also adapted to receive the sleeve over its body. The sleeve can be cylindrical or tapered in shape, and the sleeve can be adapted to aid in blocking ambient noise. The barrier, the stem, and the sleeve can all be formed as an integral one-piece assembly, and the entire one-piece assembly can be adapted to be changed by the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: John James Wubker, Blake Anthony Lanciloti, Kyle Patrick Glavan
