  • Patent number: 9451351
    Abstract: A headphone device includes a housing having a leakage hole to reduce pressure between a user's ear and the housing, a speaker positioned within the housing, and an audio processing module. The audio processing module is configured to receive an audio signal from an audio device, determine whether the audio signal includes at least a predetermined level of audio having a frequency in a first range of frequencies, transmit a first leakage control signal to a leakage hole valve when it is determined that the audio includes at least the predetermined level of low frequency audio; and transmit a second leakage control signal to the leakage hole valve when it is determined that the audio does not include at least the predetermined level of low frequency audio. The leakage hole valve is configured to close the leakage hole upon receipt of the first leakage control signal and open the leakage hole upon receipt of the second leakage control signal.

  • Patent number: 9161125
    Abstract: The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products associated with a microphone system for receiving a sound and producing an output signal representing the sound. The microphone system has a first microphone having a first dynamic range, the first microphone to receive the sound and produce a first sound signal based on the received sound. It also has a second microphone having a second dynamic range, the second microphone to receive the sound and produce a second sound signal based on the received sound, wherein the first dynamic range and the second dynamic range overlap thereby forming a transition dynamic range and processing logic operatively coupled to the first microphone and the second microphone. The processing logic is configured to receive the first sound signal from the first microphone, receive the second sound signal from the second microphone, and generate the output signal by combining the first sound signal and the second sound signal.
