  • Earpiece with actuator
    Patent number: 11388501
    Abstract: An earpiece for an earphone comprising a leading portion, a trailing portion, and a resilient bridge interconnecting the leading portion and trailing portion. The resilient bridge is configured to flex so that the earpiece can conform to ear canal geometry as it is received in a user ear canal and to provide a biasing effect so that the leading portion and/or trailing portion contact the ear canal wall. An actuator to augment low frequency sound is provided on the leading portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Earpiece having V-shaped interconnection between two portions of the earpiece when inserted into the ear canal
    Patent number: 10757497
    Abstract: An earpiece for an earphone comprising a first portion (100), a second portion (101), and a resilient bridge (102) interconnecting the first portion (100) and second portion (101), wherein the resilient bridge (102) is configured to flex so that the earpiece can conform to ear canal geometry as it is received in a user ear canal and thereby be at least substantially locatable within the ear canal. The resilient bridge (102) may be configured to provide a biasing effect so that the first portion (100) and/or second portion (101) can bias against the ear canal wall (15).
